About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Neuroendocrine Tumors focused on measuring 18F-MFBG Imaging, 14-138, PET/MR, PET/CT scan

Eligibility Criteria

5 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Phase I:

  • Eligible patients include patients with histologically proven Neuroendocrine tumors (paraganglioma, PHEO, or well differentiated NET of the lung or GI system) or NB. Patients who have NB, the diagnosis must be in accordance with the International Criteria, i.e., either histopathology or bone marrow involvement. Patients must be ≥5 years of age and able to undergo PET scan without sedation
  • All patients must have MIBG-avid disease and evaluable disease on MIBG scan at the time of enrollment onto the protocol.
  • Performance status of ≥60 on Karnofsky scale for patients >16 years of age and >60 on Lansky scale for patients <16 years of age.
  • Cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and neurologic toxicity should all be ≤grade 2.

Expansion Cohort:

  • Patients with diagnosis of NB (in accordance with the International Criteria, i.e., either histopathology or bone marrow involvement)
  • Patients must be able to undergo PET scan without sedation
  • Patients must have prior MIBG-avid disease and evaluable disease on MIBG scan at the time of enrollment onto the protocol.

    • If MIBG scan is available within 4 weeks of MFBG, with no intervening treatment, MIBG scan will not be repeated.
    • If prior MIBG scan is available >4 weeks of MFBG, MIBG scan will be done within a week (prior or after) of MFBG.
  • Performance status of ≥60 on Karnofsky scale for patients >16 years of age and >60 on Lansky scale for patients ≤16 years of age.
  • Cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and neurologic toxicity should all be ≤grade 2.
  • Patients with positive lesion detection by 18F-MFBG may be eligible for repeat imaging scan, at the discretion of PI or study investigator(s).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Major organ toxicity including cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and neurologic toxicity more than grade 2.
  • Active serious infections not controlled by antibiotics.
  • Inability or unwillingness to undergo PET scanning
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patient has an active malignancy of metastatic potential other than the known NE tumor for the past 3 years.
  • Patients should not have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy (localized radiation therapy is allowed to non-evaluable sites) between prior 123I-MIBG scan and 18F-MFBG administration.
  • Patients requiring anesthesia, who are not already undergoing anesthesia for standard-of-care procedures.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

pts with primary or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors

Arm Description

For phase I, a single dose of 18F-MFBG will be injected intravenously in patients. For all patients, pharmacokinetics and bio distribution will be evaluated using non invasive PET scanning and blood assays at multiple time points post injection. In the expansion phase, a single dose of 18F-MFBG will be injected intravenously followed by a single time point imaging using PET MR scanner or PET/CT. In expansion cohort, an additional 50 patients with NB will be imaged. Patients will receive a single dose of 18F-MFBG intravenously, followed by a whole body PET scan on PET/CT or PET/CT scanner at 60-90 minutes post injection. Patients who show lesion detection by MFBG may be eligible for repeat imaging scan with 18 F- MFBG, at the discretion of PI or study investigator(s). All parameters and technical details of scanning will be as per the study and first imaging.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

dosimetry of 18F MFBG
in two cohorts of patients: (a) those with NB and (b) those with non-NB NE. Data will be derived from blood draws and PET/CT scans at multiple time points after injection of 18F-MFBG IV.
radioactivity
Multiple samples will be counted and time activity curve generated for evaluation of serum clearance. Blood samples will be centrifuged and the plasma pipetted, weighed and counted to determine the plasma time activity concentration curves (% injected dose/liter), as well as for metabolite analysis of the 18F-MFBG compound by HPLC and/or TCA methodology.

Secondary Outcome Measures

18 F-MFBG imaging PET/CT to target known sites of disease
Lesion detection will be evaluated based on per patient and per lesion basis. The segmental distribution method described for 123 I -MIBG imaging (modified curie scoring system will be used- appendix C). If, for each individual patient, there is a concordance of ≥70% of segments or lesion detection between MIBG and 18 F-MFBG , the latter will be considered as effectively targeting lesions. For discordant lesions, if MFBG imaging shows 2 or more lesions that are positive on other concurrent or follow up conventional imaging, it will be considered optimal targeting.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to see how a new tracer named 18F-MFBG (Meta Fluorobenzyl Guanidine) behaves in the body after injection, how it spreads to all the organs and how it is removed from the body. We will also study how long 18F-MFBG lasts in the blood after administered. In addition we want to study if 18F-MFBG can show Neuroendocrine tumors on a PET-CT or PET MR scan.
