Study of 18F-FEC for Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) Imaging of GBM

July 21, 2020 updated by: Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM)

Use of PET/CT Imaging With 18F-fluoroethylcholine (FEC) in the Evaluation of Patients Treated With Radiotherapy and Temozolomide Following a Diagnosis of Glioblastoma Multiforme

Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) with injection of 18F-fluoroethylcholine (FEC) could be a useful tool in the evaluation and follow-up of patients who have been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and who are treated with radiotherapy and temozolomide by allowing, for example, the distinction of necrosis from tumour tissue. This tool could help the clinician in making therapeutic decisions for GBM patients.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
We will conduct a prospective study on 20 consecutive patients who are seen at the Hôpital Notre-Dame neuro-oncology clinic for a diagnosis of GBM and who meet our inclusion criteria. We will meet with the eligible patients in order to provide them with a detailed description of the study procedures as well as to have them sign a consent form.
Radiation: External-beam radiation therapy
60 Gy of external beam radiotherapy using a standard technique will be administered in 2-Gy fractions, for a total of 30 fractions
Drug: Temozolomide
The chemotherapy will have to be administered in accordance with the protocol used in the CAN-NCIC-CE3 study, which established the current standard for treatment of GBM with the administration of temozolomide as adjuvant therapy at the same time as radiotherapy (clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT00006353).
