About this trial
This phase II trial studies how well ¹⁸F- fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) works with positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing participants with malignant (cancerous) brain tumors. FMISO provides information about the oxygen levels in a tumor, which may affect how the tumor behaves. PET/MRI imaging produces images of the brain and how the body functions. FMISO PET/MRI may help investigators see how much oxygen is getting in the brain tumors.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Macro-imaging level feasibility
Assessed as a factor of generating quantitative positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics (intra-tumoral FMISO tumor to blood \[T/B\] level, hypoxic volume, dynamic susceptibility contrast enhanced \[DSC\], and diffusion-weighted imaging \[DWI\] values, and tissue oxygen maps). Images generated during the administration of oxygen will be used to generate tissue oxygen maps of the brain. Following completion of cohort enrollment, the generation of each quantitative PET/MRI metric will be independently scored as a dichotomous variable; successful or non-successful. Proportional assessment will be performed to assess for project feasibility. The successful generation of PET/MRI metrics in 85% of the initial cohort successfully imaged will need to be achieved for the imaging modality to be deemed feasible for this study. The estimated proportion of success rate for each metric along with the corresponding 95% binomial confidence interval will be provided.
MRI contrast enhancement
Measured by Response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria sum product diameter assessment. The primary outcomes for this aim are enhancement mismatch ratio and hypoxic volume. Differences in imaging metrics will be evaluated using two sample t-test. If normal assumption is not satisfied, data transformation, or 95% confidence intervals based on bootstrapping method will be used. Exploratory analysis will assess diagnostic performance of imaging metrics (mismatch ratio and hypoxic volume) to identify pseudoprogression at earlier imaging dates.
Secondary outcomes
Technical feasibility of PET/MRI
The generation of co-registered imaging data sets will be independently scored as a dichotomous variable; successful or non-successful (\< 10mm versus \[vs.\] \> 10mm alignment error). Proportional assessment will be performed to assess for project feasibility. The estimated proportion along with the corresponding 95% binomial confidence interval will be provided.
