Arm Description

This arm is for patients with histologically proven newly diagnosed glioblastoma who will undergo standard treatment with radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ). Patients will receive two injections of hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate for research imaging performed prior to standard imaging on the same day. Research imaging occurs at two time points: before receiving standard treatment with RT/TMZ and at the first post-radiation follow-up scan (8 weeks later).

This arm is for patients with histologically proven recurrent suspected glioblastoma who will receive surgical resection for the recurrence. Patients will receive one injection of hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate for research imaging performed prior to standard imaging on the same day. Research imaging occurs at one time point: before surgery.

This arm is for patients with histologically proven recurrent suspected glioblastoma who will undergo standard treatment for the recurrence. Patients will receive two injections of hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate for research imaging performed prior to standard imaging on the same day. Research imaging occurs at three time points: prior to treatment (baseline), approximately 7-14 days after the initiation of treatment, and 6-8 weeks after the initiation of treatment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) Assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0
Patients will be monitored for the occurrence of AEs that occur during the course of study participation. AE monitoring occurs on each day of hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate administration and until 7 days after administration. Serious adverse events occurring more than 7 days after administration need only be reported if relationship to the investigational drug is suspected.
Number of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Assessed by CTCAE Version 4.0
A DLT for this protocol is defined as any event grade 3 or higher in severity assessed by CTCAE version 4.0 that is possibly, probably, or definitely attributable to the investigational drug, excluding laboratory abnormalities determined to be clinically insignificant.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether new metabolic imaging will be useful to physicians and patients with glioblastoma for making treatment decisions and seeing how well various types of treatment work. The goal is to improve the way patient care is managed in the future. If you chose to be in this study, you will be receiving novel magnetic resonance (MR) metabolic imaging with standard MR imaging. The research component includes an injection of an investigational agent, called hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate, to obtain dynamic metabolic imaging.
Detailed Description
The new metabolic imaging will use hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate, which allows for pictures of the brain that we won't be able to get with standard imaging. Hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate has not been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is available for research only. This investigational agent is a non-radioactive isotope of carbon. There are three groups in this study. Assignment to a study group depends on the status of your disease and the type of treatment you will be receiving. Subjects in Group 1 will have two MR examination time points. Each time point includes a hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate injection for research imaging as well as standard MR. The MR examinations will occur before receiving standard of care treatment with radiation and chemotherapy, and at the first post-radiation follow-up scan. Subjects in Group 2 will have one MR examination time point with hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate injection for research and standard MR. This MR examination occurs before surgery. Subjects in Group 3 will have three MR examination time points. Each time point includes a hyperpolarized 13C pyruvate injection for research imaging as well as standard MR. The MR examinations will occur prior to initiating therapy (baseline), at approximately 7-14 days after initiation of therapy, and 6-8 weeks after the initiation of therapy.
