No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This substudy will investigate a new imaging approach using positron emission tomography (PET) and two investigational drugs (\[18F\]FET and \[18F\]FMISO) to see if the imaging results will help with the placement of catheters for therapy delivery in 20 adult patients with malignant gliomas (MGs) who are participating in the UAB IRB approved main study, A Phase I/II Study of Pembrolizumab and M032 (NSC 733972), a Genetically Engineered HSV-1 Expressing IL-12, in Patients with Recurrent/Progressive and Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme, grade 3 or grade 4 astrocytoma, or Gliosarcoma (IRB 300007756 PI Markert). The PET and MR imaging results will be available to guide catheter placement within IRB 300007756 study-specific guidelines during Neurosurgery.

[18F]FMISO-PET with contrast-enhanced MRI

Glioma patients enrolled in the main study (IRB 300007756) will complete 4 to 5 imaging visits. Visit 1 will take place prior to participants scheduled surgery. Visit 1 could be two seperate imaging visits between \[18F\]FMISO and \[18F\]FET, if needed. Participants will have three additional \[18F\]FET PET/MRIs at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-surgery.
