Use of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Scanning for Diagnosis and Treatment of Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scan for Neuroendocrine Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 97 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Neuroendocrine cancer is an unusual disease and often goes undetected by routine imaging. The 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scan is a new generation of scans that might have improved sensitivity and resolution specifically for neuroendocrine tumors. The investigators will scan people with this cancer and compare it to other conventional imaging methods to see if it improves patient care.

Timeline
Interventions
68Ga-DOTATATE will be given in tracer doses and injected intravenously to image tumors by Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Efficacy of the 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scan was assessed and compared to 111In-Pentetreotide scan and to scans with CT and/or MRI. Safety and toxicity were also assessed with pre-injection and post-imaging vital signs, pulse oximetry on room air, 12 lead ECGs, and blood laboratory tests, including tumor markers, liver and renal functions and blood counts, and direct patient questioning. Late delayed tumor markers, liver and renal functions and blood counts were assessed when available.
