NCT06233903

Brief Summary

This is a prospective Phase 2 study being performed to document the relationship between 18F-mIBG positron emission tomography (PET) findings in subjects, and expression of the norepinephrine transporter. In addition to collecting safety data for the imaging agent, the study aims to:

  • compare the findings against other catacholamine transporters
  • evaluate the imaging results at different time points and in different organs
  • assess the quality of images with lower doses
  • compare the ability to detect neuroblastoma lesions against other imaging agents, and in other tumors

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

    Tissue sampling completed within 22 days of 18F-mFBG imaging

  • Quantitation of 18F-mFBG uptake in sampled tissue

    Standard Uptake Value (SUV) from PET images from specific anatomic regions sampled

    Analysis completed within 30 days of 18F-mFBG imaging

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Comparison of results at 30 vs. 60 minutes

    30 days after completion of 18F-mFBG imaging (Day 0)

  • Quality implications of reduced administered 18F-mFBG activity

    30 days after completion of 18F-mFBG imaging (Day 0)

  • Comparison of 18F-mFBG disease detection at 60 minutes

    30 days after completion of 18F-mFBG imaging (Day 0)

  • Occurrence of adverse events in subjects with neuroblastoma

    Up to 24 hours after each administration of 18F-mFBG injection

Study Arms (1)

Neural crest tumors and sympathetically innervated organs undergoing tissue sampling

EXPERIMENTAL

All subjects who undergo histopathologically established diagnosis of neuroblastoma and a scheduled clinical biopsy or surgery procedure within 21 days after 18F-mFBG PET imaging procedure; or be scheduled to have a clinical biopsy or surgery procedure that will yield a tissue specimen from an adrenergically-innervated organ or a non-neuroblastoma neural crest tumor within 21 days after 18F-mFBG PET imaging.

Drug: 18F-mFBG

Interventions

18F-mFBG positron emission tomography with CT (PET/CT) or positron emission tomography with MRI (PET/MRI)

Also known as: Florbenguane F-18

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • I. Neuroblastoma subjects (Cohort I)
  • The subject has an established diagnosis of neuroblastoma based on unequivocal histopathology from tissue obtained at any time prior to enrollment in the trial.
  • Functional imaging (123I-mIBG or 18F-FDG) studies performed within 60 days prior to receiving investigational drug in the trial are available for retrieval and independent review.
  • The subject is scheduled to undergo an invasive procedure (surgery or biopsy) for diagnosis or therapy of neuroblastoma within 21 days after receiving investigational drug in the trial, with no therapy in the interval between 18F-mFBG imaging and surgery/biopsy.
  • Histology specimens from the biopsy or surgical procedure are expected to be available and suitable for NET expression analyses.
  • II. Non-neuroblastoma subjects (Cohort II):
  • The subject is scheduled to undergo an invasive procedure (surgery or biopsy) to obtain tissue from an adrenergically-innervated organ or a neural crest tumor within 21 days after 18F-mFBG imaging.
  • Histology specimens from the biopsy or surgical procedure are expected to be available and suitable for NET expression analyses.
  • III. All subjects:
  • The subject is able and willing to comply with study procedures and a signed and dated informed consent (supplemented by signed and dated assent from subjects age 7-17) is obtained from the subject and/or at least 1 parent/guardian.

You may not qualify if:

  • Study Population
  • \- The population will consist of either: subjects with histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of neuroblastoma; or subjects with a clinical indication for biopsy or surgical sampling of an adrenergically-innervated organ or a non-neuroblastoma neural crest tumor.

  • The subject is scheduled to undergo an invasive procedure (surgery or biopsy) for diagnosis or therapy of neuroblastoma within 21 days after receiving investigational drug in the trial, with no therapy in the interval between 18F-mFBG imaging and surgery/biopsy.
  • Histology specimens from the biopsy or surgical procedure are expected to be available and suitable for NET expression analyses.
  • II. Non-neuroblastoma subjects (Cohort II)
  • The subject is scheduled to undergo an invasive procedure (surgery or biopsy) to obtain tissue from an adrenergically-innervated organ or a neural crest tumor within 21 days after 18F-mFBG imaging.
  • Histology specimens from the biopsy or surgical procedure are expected to be available and suitable for NET expression analyses.
  • III. All subjects
  • The subject is able and willing to comply with study procedures and a signed and dated informed consent (supplemented by signed and dated assent from subjects age 7-17) is obtained from the subject and/or at least 1 parent/guardian.
