NCT05069220

Brief Summary

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).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The evaluation of diagnostic performance of 18F-MFBG PET in different regions in metastatic neural crest tumor.

    Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic neural crest tumor will be prospectively recruited in this study. They will receive 18F-MFBG PETand 123I-MIBG SPECT. Rate of detected lesions (visual) in bone, lymph node and liver will be compared.

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of lesion targeting by 18F-MFBG as compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE

    through study completion, an average of 2 years

Study Arms (1)

18F-MFBG PET/CT in neuroendocrine malignancies

EXPERIMENTAL

Each patient receive a single intravenous injection of 18F-MFBG 2-4 MBq/kg and undergo PET/CT scan after 60 min post-injection. Patients with neuroblastoma should have a routine clinical 123I-MIBG scintigraphy (planar and/or SPECT/CT) performed within 6 months prior to the inclusion visit or scheduled within 3 months after the inclusion visit. According to patients' condition and clinical management, part of patients with PPGL and NB will receive 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, comparing with 18F-MFBG PET/CT.

Drug: 18F-MFBGDrug: 68Ga-Dotatate

Interventions

Patients with neuroendocrine malignancies receive 2-4 MBq/kg of 18F-MFBG intravenously followed by PET/CT after 60min of injection.

Also known as: 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine
18F-MFBG PET/CT in neuroendocrine malignancies

Patients with malignant PPGL and NB receive intravenously 68Ga-Dotatate followed by PET/CT after 40min of injection.
