A Comparison of FDG-PET Versus MRI Based Target Volume Delineation in Glioblastoma and the Role of FDG-PET/CT in the Alteration of MRI Based Target Volumes.

Study Purpose

HYPOTHESIS AND SAMPLE SIZE The tumor delineated by FDG-PET is significantly different from the delineation achieved by MR T1 contrast weighted images in glioblastoma; expecting a standard error of 12.5 % (a confidence interval of 25%), with a confidence level set at 95%, a sample size of 15 patients would be accrued in the study.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 70 Years
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Post operative patients of documented high grade gliomas (grade III and IV) 2. Patients who have not undergone any previous irradiation to brain. 3. Performance Scale as defined by ECOG PS 0-3.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who are diabetic. 2. Patients who are pregnant. 3. Any documented contrast allergy to the agents used for imaging. 4. Patients who are unable to comprehend or cooperate effectively for treatment planning.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT01083719
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 2
