Study phase: Phase 4

Overall status: Recruiting

Study design:

Allocation: N/A

Intervention model: Single Group Assignment

Primary purpose: Treatment

Masking: None (Open Label)

Intervention:

Intervention type: Diagnostic Test
Intervention name: Brain Imaging with [Cu64]DOTATATE
Description: Patients will undergo a [Cu64]DOTATATE PET/MRI or PET/CT before undergoing radio- guided surgery. Patients will undergo another [Cu64]DOTATATE PET/MRI or PET/CT 6 weeks- 3 months after their surgery, and 6 months- 12 months after surgery.
Arm group label: Patients with MRI findings compatible with meningioma who have an indication for surgery

Intervention type: Procedure
Intervention name: Radio-guided Surgery With Neoprobe Utilization
Description: After the subjects undergo the preoperative [Cu64]DOTATATE PET/MRI, subjects will undergo radio-guided surgery in which the surgeon will utilize a standard intraoperative gamma probe (Neoprobe Gamma Detection System ®) to assess primary/residual tumor detection.
Arm group label: Patients with MRI findings compatible with meningioma who have an indication for surgery

Summary: The study team hypothesizes that it is feasible to intraoperatively detect tumor following [CU64]DOTATATE injection using the gamma probe device.

Detailed description: Objectives: Primary objectives: The primary objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative tumor detection using [Cu64]DOTATATE. The study team further wants to validate the gamma count measurements using pre- and post-operative Positron Emission Tomography (PET) standardized uptake value (SUV) . Secondary Objectives: To correlate intraoperative tracing findings with from pathology markers ( World Health Organization grade (WHO grade), Ki-67, Somatostatin Receptor 2 expression (SSTR2A expression), Estrogen receptor expression (ER expression), Progesterone receptor expression (PR expression)) using samples obtained as part of routine surgical care. To evaluate the correlation of post resection gamma count with longitudinal PET follow up. Exploratory objectives: To establish best practices for integration of intraoperative tumor tracing using the neoprobe into the surgical workflow. To determine surgical candidates who will benefit most from intraoperative tracing based on tumor location, MRI features, etc. Overall Design: This is a single-center prospective observational pilot study to determine the feasibility of using [Cu64]DOTATATE for intraoperative tumor detection. 20 patients diagnosed with meningioma by conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) who are candidates for surgical resection will be enrolled. Enrollment will be facilitated by colleagues in the neurosurgery department (also co- investigators on this study) with whom the PI has had several years of collaboration and an ongoing referral stream (6pprox.. 5 patients per week). Patients will subsequently undergo pre-operative [Cu64]DOTATATE PET/MRI 12-24 hours prior to surgery. Given that [Cu64]DOTATATE has a much longer half-life compared to [Ga68]DOTATATE, it is uniquely suited for this application, allowing the patient to be injected once with the clinically approved dose, undergo immediate Positron Emission tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging scan (PET/MRI) or Positron Emission tomography scan and computed tomography scan (PET/CT), and undergo resection the following day with sufficient radiotracer in situ for radio-guided surgery (RGS). During the operation, the neurosurgeon will make a number of measurements using the neoprobe (available at our institution and currently in frequent routine clinical use for intraoperative sentinel node detection; commonly used for breast cancer, melanoma, oral cancer): 1. After exposing the tumor, and immediately before removal, tumor counts will be documented with the neoprobe. This count will be correlated with preoperative [Cu64]DOTATATE SUV to evaluate the relationship between radiographic radiotracer uptake and intraoperative radioactivity of the tumor. 2. After removing all tumor that can be removed safely, the surgeon will grade whether they feel they obtained a gross total resection (GTR) or whether tumor was left behind (subtotal resection (STR), e.g. because the surgeon had to leave behind tumor attached to critical structure). In case of STR, the neoprobe will be used to measure counts in the remaining tumor. In case of presumed GTR, the neoprobe will be used to measure counts in the resection cavity. This second count will be correlated with post-operative [Cu64]DOTATATE SUV to evaluate the effectiveness of this method in evaluating residual tumor. These steps will not alter the regular course of the surgery in any way. Patients will have two follow-up points after the surgery: 1) at 6 weeks to 3 months post-op and 2) at 6 months to 12 months post-op. Patients will be clinically examined and will undergo repeat [Cu64]DOTATATE PET/MRI or PET/CT during these follow up visits, as standard of care, with radiotracer dosage being funded by the study for the 1st follow up scan, and determined standard of care for the 2nd follow up scan.

Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: - 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.
