18F-Fluciclovine, PET/CT and MRI, and cfDNA in Differentiating Tumor Progression in Patients with Glioblastoma

Trial Status: complete

This phase I trial studies how well 18F-fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) work in differentiating tumor progression in patients with glioblastoma. 18F-fluciclovine is a radioactive tracer used to image areas where doctors think the tumor has come back or if there is a change in the area because of previous treatment. PET/CT and MRI scans are types of imaging that can track where 18F-fluciclovine is taken up in the body. cfDNA is a type of substance that is shed by a tumor into the bloodstream and may provide useful information about the tumor. Giving 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT and MRI scans and studying cfDNA may help doctors better understand tumor growth and disease progression in patients with glioblastoma.
