About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Brain Metastases focused on measuring 18F-Fluorocholine (18F-FCho), Pet Scan, MRI, 13-199

Eligibility Criteria

21 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient and/or guardian is able to provide written informed consent prior to study registration
  • Age ≥ 21 years old
  • Evolving brain lesions post SRS requiring neurosurgical resection (whether for symptomatic control or to establish pathology)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability to undergo a MRI or PET scan (e.g., claustrophobia or metal implant)
  • Pregnant or nursing female
  • Unable to cooperate for PET/CT

Sites / Locations

  • Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

pts with brain mets going for surgery

Arm Description

This study will enroll patients with brain metastases that are evolving after SRS who are scheduled to undergo surgical resection. Eligible patients will undergo an 18F-FCH PET study 1-to-7 days pre-operatively. Although no toxicity has been previously reported following 18F-FCH administration, patients will be contacted 1-3 days after their scan and asked whether they experienced any adverse effects. The patients who have a positive 18F-FCH PET study (in which there is visible focal "hot spots" (a focus of lesion/normal white matter ratio >1.4) of 18F-FCH) will undergo further evaluation and be administered a second administration oflower activity 18F-FCH at the time of surgery. The purpose of the second 18F-FCH administration in the operating room is to further elucidate the tissue distribution of 18F-FCH radioactivity with respect to the histopathology of the surgically resected tissue.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

to distinguish radiation necrosis from progressive tumor
by comparing the PET imaging results to the surgical pathology

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of 18F Fluorocholine (18F-FCH) in the brain which can help distinguishing radiation-induced scarring from tumor regrowth. In addition, the study will measure levels of 18F-FCH in the blood and (if applicable) in the brain lesion tissue that is removed as part of the planned brain surgery.
