New scan spots tumors more clearly?

NCT ID NCT05556473

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early study tests a special PET/CT scan that uses a modified tryptophan molecule to make tumors light up more clearly than normal tissue. About 24 adults with brain, breast, neuroendocrine, or rectal cancers will get one scan to see if this method helps doctors tell tumors apart from healthy tissue. The goal is to improve future treatment planning, not to treat the cancer itself.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years. * Targeted lesion (tumor) is at least 1 cm in diameter as shown by clinical imaging. * Patient is able to lie in the PET/CT scanner for at least 70 minutes while undergoing scanning. * Women of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. * Recent anatomic imaging with visible disease (tumor) for comparison with the PET/CT. . * Physical exam within 28 days of PET imaging, CBC and Multiphasic (including electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, total bilirubin, AST and ALT) within 14 days. * Patients must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study. Inclusion Criteria Specific for Intracranial Tumors \- Clinical and MRI diagnosis of an intracranial lesion suspicious for a brain tumor, including gliomas or metastatic brain tumors; primary, residual, or recurrent brain tumors (judged by clinical imaging) will qualify. Inclusion Criteria Specific for Extracranial Neuroendocrine Tumors: * Histopathologically confirmed, well-differentiated metastatic neuroendocrine tumor. * ECOG performance status of 2 or better. * Patients receiving stable-dose somatostatin analogs (SSAs, long-acting release \[LAR\], depot) for \>3 months before enrollment may be enrolled on the study, but such treatment is not required. Inclusion Criteria specific for Extracranial Primary Breast tumors: * Clinical and radiological diagnosis of a breast cancer * ECOG performance status of 2 or better. Inclusion Criteria specific for Rectal tumors: * Histologically confirmed colorectal cancer, which is located in the rectum. * ECOG performance status of 2 or better. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are pregnant or lactating are excluded. Exclusion Criteria Specific for Intracranial Tumors: * Severe increased intracranial pressure, status epilepticus, or other symptoms requiring emergency or urgent intervention. * Tumor surgery or radiation within 1 month prior to the PET scan Exclusion Criteria Specific for Extracranial Neuroendocrine Tumors: * Tumor-directed therapy within 3 months to the area of planned imaging. * Ongoing treatment with a targeted agent (e.g., sunitinib or everolimus) or receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy (e.g., capecitabine or temozolomide). * Use of telotristat ethyl (a tryptophan-hydroxylase inhibitor) within one month. Exclusion Criteria for Extracranial Primary Breast tumors: -Recent (within 1 month) tumor resection or radio-chemotherapy (acute/subacute post-treatment inflammatory changes may cause false positive increases on PET). Exclusion Criteria for Rectal tumors: -Active inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or Ulcerative colitis) involving the rectum.
