Active clinical trials for "Neuroendocrine Tumors"

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).

A single centre non-randomized, non-blinded phase III prospective cohort study of 18F-DOPA PET/CT imaging in specific patient populations: Pediatric patients (less than 18 years old) with congenital hyperinsulinism. Pediatric patients (less than 18 years old) with neuroblastoma. Pediatric (less than 18 years old) or Adult patients (18 or older) with known or clinically suspected neuroendocrine tumor. Adult patients (18 or older) with a clinical suspicion of Parkinson's disease or Lewy body dementia. Pediatric (less than 18 years old) or Adult patients (18 or older) with brain tumors. Image optimization (the primary study objective) and gallbladder activity pattern (the secondary objective) will be evaluated.

This clinical trial is a pragmatic study aiming to evaluate the innocuity/safety profile of the PET radiotracer 68Ga-DOTA-TATE, and to establish the procedure as a routine standard-of-care diagnostic tool for all neuro-endocrine cancer patients. It is a single-center study, but with recruitment across all Canada. The trial is prospective, non-randomized, open-label and with no control group. The superiority of this procedure over the former standard-of-care (Octreoscan) was already established in previous and numerous studies across the world. As such, the current trial aims to gather data to further support the implementation of 68Ga-DOTA-TATE as the new standard-of-care for neuro-endocrine tumors (NET).

This study is a single centre non-randomized non-blinded phase II prospective cohort study including 50 participants. The objective of this study is to directly compare 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE, 18F-DOPA, and 18F-FDG activity in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) on a lesion-by-lesion basis. The investigators will determine the prevalence of concordant versus discordant disease. Secondary objectives include assessing the standardized uptake value (SUV) and determining if there is any correlation between discordance and disease progression.

Somatostatin receptor (SSR) imaging is a critical component of clinical care for many patients being investigated for or with confirmed SSR positive tumors. In the past, 111In-octreotide imaging has been used for this purpose but it has been recently supplanted globally by SSR positron emission tomography (PET) imaging due to better image quality and higher diagnostic accuracy. This study will assess the safety and diagnostic effectiveness of 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE produced a the Edmonton Radiopharmaceutical Centre (ERC).

The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of imaging agent 64Cu-SARTATE in participants with known or suspected Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) as a potential new way to help diagnose NETs.

This study will evaluate how Gallium-68 Pentixafor is distributed in neuroendocrine tumor patients and if that distribution is consistent through repeated scans. This is an RDRC study - as such, the images obtained for this study cannot be used clinically or shared with treating oncologists.

A [68]Ga-HA-DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MRI scan is a nuclear medicine test used to create pictures of the whole body that will show where somatostatin receptors are found, including on tumours. Somatostatin receptors are found on most neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), and some other types of tumours. Currently at the Cross Cancer Institute, most patients with suspected somatostatin positive tumours (e.g. NETs) have an In-111 Octreotide (Octreoscan™) scan. A scientific study has shown that a scan with a similar product ([68]Ga-DOTATATE) is more accurate than an Octreoscan™. This study will look at [68]Ga-HA-DOTATATE, a product virtually identical to [68]Ga-DOTATATE. The purpose of this study is to: 1) demonstrate the safety of [68]Ga-HA-DOTATATE; and 2) confirm that [68]Ga-HA-DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MRI is effective at diagnosing somatostatin positive tumours.

This prospective, single-center, double-blinded study investigates the biodistribution, dosimetry, safety, and diagnostic ability of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 in patients with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. And compares the diagnostic ability of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3 PET/CT. Clinical management will also be compared using different imaging modalities.

Development of a prospective clinico-biological database allowing the provision of clinical data and corresponding biological materials to the medical and scientific community.
