PSMA PET/CT for GBM patients on bevacizumab
Official title: Investigating Glioblastoma PSMA Expression by Utilizing Anti-VEGF and Its Effect on PSMA PET Scan Avidity
Run by Royal North Shore Hospital · NCT07052877 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests PSMA PET/CT scans in adults with IDH-wildtype glioblastoma who are receiving bevacizumab to see how PSMA expression relates to VEGF in their tumors.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with IDH-wildtype glioblastoma who are receiving bevacizumab and can undergo MRI and PSMA PET/CT imaging.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without detectable PSMA expression or who do not complete imaging may not experience a direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational, single-arm study enrolls adults with IDH-wildtype glioblastoma who are already receiving bevacizumab. Participants undergo PSMA PET/CT imaging to explore the relationship between PSMA expression and VEGF blockade in glioblastoma. The goal is to understand tumor biology and imaging markers that may inform future therapeutic strategies. The study is conducted at Royal North Shore Hospital in Australia and does not introduce a new active treatment beyond standard bevacizumab plus imaging.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could improve understanding of GBM biology and imaging markers that might guide future personalized approaches.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has used PSMA PET imaging in brain tumors, but the specific link to VEGF blockade in GBM is exploratory and less established.
