Background Glioblastoma GBM is the most aggressive type of brain cancer with a 5 year survival rate of 5 and most tumours recurring locally within months of first line treatment Hypoxia is associated with worse clinical outcomes in GBM as it leads to localized resistance to radiotherapy and subsequent tumour recurrence Current standard of care treatment does not account for tumour hypoxia due to the challenges of mapping tumour hypoxia in routine clinical practice In this clinical study we aim to investigate the role of oxygen enhanced OE and blood oxygen level dependent BOLD MRI as non invasive imaging biomarkers of hypoxia in GBM and to evaluate their potential role in dose painting radiotherapy planning and treatment response assessment Methods The primary endpoint is to evaluate the quantitative and spatial correlation between OE and BOLD MRI measurements and sup 18 sup F MISO values of uptake in the tumour The secondary endpoints are to evaluate the repeatability of MRI biomarkers of hypoxia in a test retest study to estimate the potential clinical benefits of using MRI biomarkers of hypoxia to guide dose painting radiotherapy and to evaluate the ability of MRI biomarkers of hypoxia to assess treatment response Twenty newly diagnosed GBM patients will be enrolled in this study Patients will undergo standard of care treatment while receiving additional OE BOLD MRI and sup 18 sup F MISO PET scans at several timepoints during treatment The ability of OE BOLD MRI to map hypoxic tumour regions will be evaluated by assessing spatial and quantitative correlations with areas of hypoxic tumour identified via sup 18 sup F MISO PET imaging Discussion MANGO Magnetic resonance imaging of hypoxia for radiation treatment guidance in glioblastoma multiforme is a diagnostic prognostic study investigating the role of imaging biomarkers of hypoxia in GBM management The study will generate a large amount of longitudinal multimodal MRI and PET imaging data that could be used to unv
