Inflammation in Primary and Secondary Malignancies of the Central Nervous System Using [C-11]-CS1P1
What this study is about
Adult patients with primary or secondary central nervous system malignancies will be invited to undergo a baseline \[C-11\]-CS1P1 PET scan and a follow-up scan within 24 months of the baseline scan (preferably within 6-months post-treatment).
View original scientific description
Adult patients with primary or secondary central nervous system malignancies will be invited to undergo a baseline \[C-11\]-CS1P1 PET scan and a follow-up scan within 24 months of the baseline scan (preferably within 6-months post-treatment).The study will describe patterns of tracer uptake in tumors and normal brain and explore how these patterns relate to MRI findings, treatments received, and clinical outcomes.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Male or female, any race
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Capable of providing written informed consent OR having a legally authorized representative (LAR) to provide informed consent for volunteering to undergo research procedure
- Has a clinical, radiographic, or pathological diagnosis of primary or secondary CNS malignancy that has not been treated with radiotherapy
Exclusion criteria
- Hypersensitivity to \[C-11\]-CS1P1 or any of its excipients
- Contraindications to PET, CT or MRI (e.g. certain incompatible electronic medical devices, inability to lie still for extended periods) that make it potentially unsafe for the individual to participate
- Prior cranial radiotherapy
- Severe claustrophobia that would require general anesthesia
- Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Any condition that, in the opinion of the Sponsor-Investigator or designee could increase risk to the participant, limit the participant's ability to tolerate the research procedures or interfere with the collection of the data (e.g., advanced renal or liver failure)
- Current or recent (within 12 months prior to screening) participation in research studies involving radioactive agents such that the total research-related radiation dose to the participant in any given year would exceed the limits set forth in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21 Section 361.1. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?FR=361.1.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
