In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

* To perform metabolic phenotyping of treatment naïve and recurrent GBM by multitracer \[18F\]Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG PET. * To compare uptake measures of 18F-Fluciclovine and 18F-FDG and MRI quantification of glutamate and lactate levels to tumor tissue laboratory assays (RNA seq and proteomics) of glutamine/glutamate, glucose, and lactate metabolism. * To perform metabolic phenotyping of treatment naïve and recurrent GBM by advanced MRI methods at 7 Tesla
