The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging with the radiotracer 1-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tryptophan ([18F]FETrp) in patients diagnosed with a glioma. This study has 3 aims:

Arm 1. \[18F\]FETrp PET prior to radiotherapy in newly diagnosed grade 4 glioblastoma to provide a better treatment target volume
Arm 2. \[18F\]FETrp PET to differentiate post-treatment glioma progression from radiation-induced MRI changes
Arm 3. Minocycline orally 200mg/day administered between the first \[18F\]FETrp PET scan and the month follow up \[18F\]FETrp scan to determine if pharmacologic inhibition of the kynurenine pathway will reduce tumoral tryptophan metabolic rates in low-grade gliomas
