Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to propose the first direct comparison of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MR and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET/CT in patients with meningioma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigator is proposing a direct comparison of Ga-68-DOTATATE and -DOTATOC in a pilot cohort of patients with meningioma, and hypothesize non-inferiority of DOTATOC. This pilot study will form the basis for a subsequent prospective clinical trial and will allow us to optimize our existing imaging protocols, while developing a more cost-effective protocol.

Primary Objectives:

* Optimize the Ga-68-DOTATOC PET/CT protocol.
* Compare Ga-68-DOTATATE PET and -DOTATOC PET/CT in patients with meningioma.

Secondary Objectives

• Correlate Ga-68-DOTATATE PET and -DOTATOC PET/CT with clinical and pathological characteristics

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

The study intervention consists of 2 PET scans that will be performed at least 24h apart using 68-Ga-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC radiotracers, in patients with suspected meningioma that are planned for subsequent surgery.

Visit 1 Patients will undergo a 68-Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MR scan as standard of care, or as part of a separate research study.

Visit 2 At least 24h and up to 4 weeks apart from Visit 1, patients will undergo 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan.

Follow-up Phase Patients enrolled in the study are planned for surgery as part of SOC. After the two scans, patients will undergo surgery and a histopathologic analysis of the resected tumor will be performed. The histopathology results will be used to correlate molecular biomarkers with imaging parameters. During the follow up period a review of clinical and imaging records related to the diagnosis will be conducted by the research team as part of the study during the follow- up period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ga-68- DOTATATE

Intervention Type DRUG

The study intervention consists of two PET scans that will be performed using two different radiotracers, 68-Ga-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC. Ga-68-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC are PET radiotracers targeting somatostatin receptors.
