3'-Deoxy-3'-[18F] Fluorothymidine PET Imaging in Patients With Cancer

Use of [F-18] FLT for Imaging With Positron Emission Tomography (PET)


Sponsor

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as 3'-deoxy-3'-\[18F\] fluorothymidine (FLT) PET imaging, may help find and diagnose cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying FLT PET imaging in patients with cancer.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 120 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is studying a special imaging scan (called a PET scan) that uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors see cancer more clearly in the body. You may be eligible if: you have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (either a solid tumor or a blood cancer), or you are waiting for a biopsy or surgery to find out if a suspicious mass is cancer; you are able to lie still in the scanner; and your body size fits the scanner. You may NOT be eligible if: you are pregnant or breastfeeding; or you are of childbearing age and not using effective birth control. Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICE3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine

The tracer compound \[F-18\] FLT will be injected into the patient's veins in a small volume of normal saline solution. The PET scan data collection is started immediately and is continued for 2 hours. This procedure will measure tumor growth within the body. Blood may be withdrawn (through the catheters) up to a total volume of 30 milliliters (or 2 tablespoons) for each scan. A urine sample may be collected at the end of the imaging of the tracer compound to analyze its breakdown products.
