124I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) PET/CT Diagnostic Imaging and Dosimetry for Patients With Neuroblastoma: A Pilot Study
Neuroblastoma
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Neuroblastoma focused on measuring neuroblastoma, imaging, 124I-MIBG, 131I-MIBG, PET/CT
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must be >/= 3 years of age and able to cooperate for the PET CT scan when registered on study.
- Patients must have a diagnosis of neuroblastoma either by histologic verification of neuroblastoma and/or demonstration of tumor cells in the bone marrow with increased urinary catecholamine metabolites.
- Recurrent/progressive disease at any time. Biopsy is not required, even if there is a partial response to intervening therapy or
- Refractory disease (i.e. less than a partial response to frontline therapy, including a minimum of 4 cycles of chemotherapy). No biopsy is required for eligibility for this study.
- 123I-MIBG Uptake: Patients must have MIBG evaluable disease which is defined as evidence of uptake into tumor at one site within 4 weeks prior to entry on study and subsequent to any intervening therapy.
- Patients must meet eligibility criteria for 131I-MIBG therapy in order to participate in the dosimetry portion.
- All post-menarchal females must have a negative beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) within 2 weeks prior to receiving the dose of 124I-MIBG. Males and females of childbearing potential must practice an effective method of birth control while participating on this study, to avoid possible damage to the fetus.
Imaging only cohort:
- Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma are eligible at any time (during initial treatment or during treatment of relapsed/refractory disease) as long as they meet the requirements.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy or lactating with the intent of breast feeding.
- Patients who require general anesthesia for MIBG imaging studies.
