A Study to Evaluate a New Way to Identify/Diagnose Tumours With Somatostatin Receptors Using [68]Ga-HA-DOTATATE and to Ensure it is Safe to Use

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Neuroendocrine Tumors focused on measuring Gallium-68, Positron Emission Tomography, 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Known or suspected somatostatin receptor positive tumour including, but not limited to, GNET, PNET, pulmonary NET, PRUNK NET, pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, medullary thyroid cancer, and medulloblastoma. A standard CT or MRI obtained within 6 months of enrolment is required. Additional supporting evidence obtained within 12 months of enrolment may include: other standard imaging (In-111 octreotide (Octreoscan), [18]F-FDG PET, or [18]F-FDOPA PET); histopathology from surgery or biopsy; elevated biochemical markers (including Chromogranin A, 5-HIAA, insulin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), glucagon, gastrin, metanephrines, and/or others, as clinically indicated); and/or persistent carcinoid-like symptomology highly suspicious for the presence of NET even in absence of pathologic imaging findings by anatomic criteria;
2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Scale Score ≤ 3 within 2 weeks of enrolment;
3. At least 14 years of age;
4. Able and willing to follow instructions and comply with the protocol;
5. Ability to provide written informed consent prior to participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Inability to lie still for the entire imaging time (e.g. cough, severe arthritis, etc.);
2. Inability to complete the needed investigational and standard-of-care imaging examinations due to other reasons (severe claustrophobia, radiation phobia, etc.);
3. Any additional medical condition, serious inter-current illness or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may significantly interfere with study performance or interpretation;
4. Weight exceeding the PET/CT or PET/MR scanner limit;
5. Pregnancy;
6. Allergic reaction to DOTATATE or somatostatin analogues.
