18F-MFBG PET/CT in the Evaluation of Neural Crest Tumor

Study Purpose

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance and tumor burden of 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors mainly in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) and neuroblastoma (NB).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Eligible Ages 1 Year - 80 Years

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - The subject has read, signed, and dated an informed consent form (ICF) prior to any study procedures being performed.
Patients with histologically confirmed or clinically suspicious neural crest tumor. For patients with neuroblastoma, subject should have a routine clinical 123I-MIBG scintigraphy (planar + SPECT/CT) performed within 6 months prior to the inclusion visit or scheduled within 3 months after the inclusion visit. The subject is male or is a nonpregnant, nonlactating female who is either surgically sterile or is post-menopausal. The subject is able and willing to comply with all study procedures as described in the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients are potentially pregnant (serum and urinary hCG test will be performed in women where pregnancy is not excluded) or is breast-feeding.
Patients undergo surgery between the selection and inclusion visit. Patients who are pregnant, may possibly be pregnant, or wish (including their partners) to become pregnant during the study period, or are lactating. Patients who are not suitable to participate in the trial according to researchers.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05069220
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) and neuroblastoma (NB) highly express norepinephrine transporter (NET) which is targeted by functional analogue of norepinephrine, 131I/123I-MIBG. However, low spatial resolution of 123/131I-MIBG and inaccurate attenuation correction of single photon emission tomography (SPECT/CT) will affect the image quality of MIBG SPECT and lead to poor diagnosis of small lesions. In addition, 123I-MIBG imaging is usually performed at 24 h after injection, while 131I-MIBG is performed at 48 h or even 72 h after injection. The procedure is complicated and takes a long time, which limits clinical application. 18F-labeled MFBG is an ideal tracer to show the expression of NET. Preliminary data show that 18F-MFBG imaging is safe and has favorable biodistribution and kinetics with good targeting of lesions. Patients can undergo PET 0.5 hours after injection without special preparation. Our study will assess the safety profile, image quality and evaluate the diagnostic performance and tumor burden of 18F-MFBG on nural crest tumors including PPGL and NB. Patients with histologically confirmed or clinically suspected neural crest tumor will be prospectively recruited in this study.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: 18F-MFBG PET/CT in neuroendocrine malignancies

Each patient receive a single intravenous injection of 18F-MFBG 2-4 MBq/kg and undergo PET/CT scan after 60 min post-injection. Patients with neuroblastoma should have a routine clinical 123I-MIBG scintigraphy (planar and/or SPECT/CT) performed within 6 months prior to the inclusion visit or scheduled within 3 months after the inclusion visit. According to patients' condition and clinical management, part of patients with PPGL and NB will receive 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, comparing with 18F-MFBG PET/CT.

Interventions

Drug: - 18F-MFBG

Patients with neuroendocrine malignancies receive 2-4 MBq/kg of 18F-MFBG intravenously followed by PET/CT after 60min of injection.

Drug: - 68Ga-Dotatate

Patients with malignant PPGL and NB receive intravenously 68Ga-Dotatate followed by PET/CT after 40min of injection.
