Feasibility of Intraoperative Tracing of Meningioma Using [Cu64]DOTATATE

This study is looking at a new way to help surgeons find meningioma (a type of brain tumor) during surgery. Researchers are testing if a special imaging agent called [Cu64]DOTATATE, combined with a device called a Neoprobe, can help surgeons better detect the tumor. You would have a PET/MRI or PET/CT scan with [Cu64]DOTATATE before your surgery, and then the surgeon would use the Neoprobe during the operation. You would also have two more scans after surgery to see how well this method worked. This study aims to see if this approach is practical and helpful for patients aged 18 to 99 who need surgery for a suspected or recurrent meningioma. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is a single-center pilot study involving 20 participants. It is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive specific interventions.
What's involved
You would undergo a [Cu64]DOTATATE PET/MRI or PET/CT scan before surgery, have radio-guided surgery using a Neoprobe, and then have two more [Cu64]DOTATATE PET/MRI or PET/CT scans after surgery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
You would be followed for up to one year after surgery, with scans at 3 months and 1 year post-operation.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

High suspicion of meningioma necessitating surgical resection based on conventional MRI criteria, or diagnosis of meningioma based on pathology reports from prior resection with radiographic findings of suspected recurrent or residual tumor necessitating repeat surgery.

Exclusion

Pregnant or breastfeeding
Patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal resection, eyebrow incision surgery, or any surgical procedure in which the neoprobe cannot be employed
Patients with hypersensitivity to somatostatin analogs
Patients with contraindications to conventional MRI
Patients with prior history of cranial radiation therapy
Patients currently enrolled in other therapeutic clinical trials related to meningioma will be excluded
