NCT04017104

Brief Summary

Quantitative parameters obtained with dynamic whole body imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) can provide additional and complementary information to standard PET. Dynamic imaging allows for better understanding of the behavior of the radio-pharmaceutical because it can be followed over time. Thought to be difficult to perform with currently available clinical equipment that can affect the clinical workflow, it has recently shown to be feasible. We want to test the feasibility of this imaging technique and evaluate its utility in identifying lesions with three different radio-pharmaceuticals as compared to standard static PET. This study will also determine the clinical impact of DWB PET on participant management by comparing the overall qualitative assessment performed by nuclear medicine physicians between the standard PET images and the DWB ones.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Feasibility of dynamic whole body PET/CT imaging with technologists

    24 hours

  • Feasibility of dynamic whole body PET/CT imaging with clinical value

    2 weeks

  • Confirm information about status of known lesions - progression or regression of lesions

Study Arms (3)

18F-FDG PET/CT Diagnostic Imaging

Participants that have been chosen and consented to participate in the optional DWB PET/CT scan sub-study will undergo an extra 18F-FDG PET/CT procedure. 18FFDG is considered standard care and has been approved by Health Canada.

Diagnostic Test: 18F-FDG PET/CT

68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT Diagnostic Imaging

Participants that have been chosen and consented to participate in the optional DWB PET/CT scan sub-study will undergo an extra 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT procedure. The 68Ga-DOTATOC radioactive tracer is manufactured for this study under a Clinical Trial Application filed with Health Canada.

Diagnostic Test: 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT

18F-DCFPyL PET/CT Diagnostic Imaging

Participants that have been chosen and consented to participate in the optional DWB PET/CT scan sub-study will undergo an extra 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT procedure. The 18F-DCFPyL radioactive tracer is manufactured for this study under a Clinical Trial Application filed with Health Canada.

Diagnostic Test: 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT

Interventions

18F-FDG PET/CTDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

For 18F-FDG as fasting period of 6 hours is required before the scan. Each study subject will have an intravenous catheter inserted. The subject will receive a bolus intravenous dose of the radiotracer from an approved study supplier site.The participant will rest in a comfortable chair for 20 minutes. The participant will then be taken to a designated washroom and asked to void prior to being scanned in order to clear excreted radiotracer activity from the urinary tract. The participant will then be taken to the PET/CT scanner. Subjects are positioned supine, arms down, and centered on the scanner bed and the PET/CT images will be acquired.

18F-FDG PET/CT Diagnostic Imaging
68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CTDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants will not be encouraged to drink additional water due to the requirement to stay on the scanner for up to 90 minutes. There are no dietary restrictions. Each study subject will have an intravenous catheter inserted. The participants will then be taken to a designated washroom and asked to void, and will then be taken to the PET/CT scanner. A CT topogram will be acquired followed by very low dose whole body CT for attenuation correction and localization of PET emission data. The participant will receive a bolus intravenous dose of the radiotracer 68Ga-DOTATOC from an approved study supplier site. Simultaneously a 6 minute dynamic acquisition of the heart will be started, then followed by several whole body static acquisitions. After the DWB scan, participants may go to the washroom again and their vital signs will be recorded. After this, a new PET/CT acquisition, as specified in the 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT protocol, will immediately follow.

18F-DCFPyL PET/CTDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants will not be encouraged to drink additional water due to the requirement to stay on the scanner for 90 minutes of the DWB acquisition. They will be unable to use the washroom during this time. As with the main study, participants will be instructed to fast for 4 hours prior to their appointment. Each study subject will have an intravenous catheter inserted. The participants will then be taken to a designated washroom and asked to void, and will then be taken to the PET/CT scanner. The participant will receive a bolus intravenous dose of 18F-DCFPyL from an approved supplier. This will then be followed by several whole body static acquisitions for a total scan time that will not be longer than 90 minutes. After the scan is finished, the participant will be allowed to rest in a comfortable chair or bed for 30 minutes. The participants will return to the scanner room and undergo the planned PET/CT imaging described in the main study.

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic utility of DWB PET/CT in identifying and quantifying lesions where standard PET imaging (i.e. static) have been negative or equivocal. Concordance with histology, imaging or follow-up, using the data collected in the main studies, will also be assessed. This study will also determine the clinical impact of DWB PET on participant management by comparing the overall qualitative assessment performed by nuclear medicine physicians between the standard PET images and the DWB ones.

You may qualify if:

  • All subjects:
  • Able to not use the washroom for the duration of the dynamic imaging scanning.
  • World health organization performance status 0-2
  • Able to provide written informed consent/assent (or consent by guardian for subjects \<19 years)
  • Patients must be able to tolerate the physical/logistical requirements of completing a PET scan including lying flat for up to 30 minutes and tolerating intravenous cannulation for injection.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnancy
  • Unable to provide written consent
  • Patients who are medically unstable ex: acute cardiac or respiratory distress, hypotensive
  • Patients who exceed the safe weight limit of the PET/CT bed (204.5 kg) or who cannot fit through the PET/CT bore (diameter 70cm).
