New treatment option for Brain Metastases
Official title 18F-Fluciclovine PET Amino Acid Evaluation of Brain Metastasis Treated With Stereotactic Radiosurgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06048094
What this study is testing
What is 18F fluciclovine?
18F fluciclovine is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for brain metastases.
Also referred to as Axumin, 18F-FACBC.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a pilot imaging study in participants treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat brain metastasis. The purpose of this study is to see whether 18F-Fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET) can be used as a biomarker to measure response or progression of brain metastasis after SRS.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
