Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age over 18 years
  • Diagnosed with low-grade glioma based on clinical standard of care imaging and scheduled for primary surgical resection of low-grade glioma
  • Females of childbearing potential and males agree to use an effective method of contraception from the time consent is signed until 1 week after surgery.
  • Females of childbearing potential have a negative urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to being registered. Participants are considered not of child bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (i.e. they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion

  • Females who are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Concurrent and/or recent involvement in other research or use of another experimental investigational medicinal product that is likely to interfere with the study medication within 28 days of study enrolment.
  • MRI contraindicated (e.g. implanted electric and electronic devices, heart pacemakers, insulin pumps, implanted hearing aids, neurostimulators, intracranial metal clips, metallic bodies in the eye).
  • Other psychological, social or medical condition, physical examination finding or a laboratory abnormality that the Investigator considers would make the patient a poor study candidate or could interfere with protocol compliance or the interpretation of study results.
  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy/radiotherapy treatment for low-grade glioma which would interfere with the interpretation of study results.
  • Any other problems that may make the patient unable to tolerate the PET scans (e.g. claustrophobia).
