Clinical endpoints such as progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) typically require long follow-up periods to detect treatment effects. Therefore, the development of sensitive and noninvasive imaging methods for early evaluation of therapeutic response is needed.\n\nThis study aims to determine whether metabolic changes detected by 18F-AGX PET during Vorasidenib treatment are associated with tumor structural changes and clinical outcomes.\n\nThe main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n* Whether early changes in tumor metabolic activity measured by 18F-AGX PET, including percentage change in maximum tumor-to-background ratio (TBRmax), are associated with changes in tumor growth rate (TGR) measured by MRI during treatment.\n* Whether early metabolic response detected by 18F-AGX PET imaging after initiation of Vorasidenib treatment can predict subsequent disease progression or tumor growth dynamics.\n\nParticipants enrolled in this study will receive oral Vorasidenib once daily for 12 treatment cycles (28 days per cycle), with dosing based on body weight.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Undergo baseline MRI and 18F-AGX PET imaging following surgery for recurrent or residual disease.\n* Receive oral Vorasidenib continuously for 12 cycles.\n* Undergo MRI scans at baseline and during treatment cycles 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 to assess structural tumor changes.\n* Undergo 18F-AGX PET/CT scans at baseline and during treatment cycles 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 to assess metabolic tumor activity.\n* Provide serial blood samples for laboratory safety monitoring, including hematologic and biochemical testing.\n* Undergo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to quantify intratumoral 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) levels as an indicator of IDH mutation-associated metabolic activity.\n\nParticipants will be followed for imaging-based disease progression using RANO criteria and for treatment-related adverse events during the study period.\n\nThis study will evaluate the feasibility of using 18F-AGX PET imaging as a noninvasive imaging biomarker for early response assessment in IDH-mutant diffuse glioma patients receiving targeted IDH inhibition therapy with Vorasidenib.', 'detailedDescription': 'Diffuse gliomas harboring mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1 or IDH2) represent a biologically distinct subgroup of central nervous system tumors characterized by the accumulation of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Mutant IDH enzymes catalyze the reduction of α-ketoglutarate to 2-HG, leading to widespread epigenetic dysregulation, impaired cellular differentiation, and altered tumor metabolism. These metabolic alterations are considered key drivers of glioma tumorigenesis and progression.\n\nVorasidenib is an oral, brain-penetrant, dual inhibitor of mutant IDH1 and IDH2 enzymes that has demonstrated clinical activity in patients with IDH-mutant diffuse glioma. By selectively inhibiting mutant IDH enzymatic activity, Vorasidenib reduces intratumoral 2-HG production and is expected to modify tumor metabolic processes. However, due to the relatively slow growth kinetics of IDH-mutant gliomas, conventional structural imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may not detect treatment-related changes in tumor size during the early phases of therapy. As a result, reliance on morphologic imaging alone may delay the identification of therapeutic response or disease progression.\n\nMetabolic imaging approaches have the potential to provide earlier indicators of biological treatment effects. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been used to quantify intratumoral 2-HG concentrations in vivo as a surrogate of mutant IDH activity. While MRS-based measurements may reflect pharmacodynamic effects of IDH inhibition, its sensitivity and spatial resolution may limit its utility for longitudinal monitoring of treatment response in clinical practice.\n\nPositron emission tomography (PET) imaging using radiolabeled tracers enables the quantitative assessment of tumor metabolism and has been shown to detect treatment-related metabolic changes that precede morphologic alterations observed on MRI. Amino acid PET tracers such as 18F-FET and 18F-FDOPA have demonstrated the ability to identify early metabolic responses in glioma patients undergoing systemic therapy, with metabolic response correlating with clinical outcomes in some studies.\n\n18F-AGX is a novel PET radiotracer designed to selectively bind to IDH-mutant glioma cells. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that 18F-AGX crosses the blood-brain barrier and exhibits increased uptake in IDH-mutant glioma models compared with IDH wild-type tumors. In experimental settings, treatment with Vorasidenib has been associated with reductions in tracer uptake that parallel decreases in intratumoral 2-HG levels, suggesting that 18F-AGX PET imaging may serve as a noninvasive indicator of target engagement and metabolic response.\n\nThis clinical study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of using 18F-AGX PET imaging to monitor metabolic changes in patients with recurrent or residual IDH-mutant diffuse glioma receiving Vorasidenib therapy. Longitudinal multimodal imaging will be performed during treatment to assess temporal changes in tumor metabolic activity and structural characteristics.\n\nPET imaging will be conducted following intravenous administration of 18F-AGX. Quantitative image analysis will be performed using tumor-to-background uptake metrics derived from standardized uptake values (SUV). Regions of interest will be defined on PET images with reference to co-registered MRI data to allow for spatial correlation between metabolic and structural tumor features.\n\nMRI will be performed using standardized acquisition protocols to assess tumor morphology, including T2-weighted and FLAIR sequences. MR spectroscopy may be performed to quantify intratumoral 2-HG concentrations as a complementary metabolic biomarker associated with mutant IDH activity.\n\nSerial laboratory testing will be conducted throughout the study to monitor participant safety during Vorasidenib treatment. Adverse events will be assessed according to applicable clinical research standards.\n\nImaging-based disease status will be evaluated using established neuro-oncology response assessment criteria. Participants may receive additional standard-of-care interventions if clinically indicated during or after completion of the treatment period.\n\nThe results of this study are intended to provide preliminary clinical data on the use of 18F-AGX PET imaging as a noninvasive method for detecting early metabolic response in IDH-mutant diffuse glioma patients undergoing targeted IDH inhibition therapy.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
