A Pilot Study of 18Fluorine-Fluciclovine Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography for Staging Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Preceding Radical Cystectomy
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating 18F-fluciclovine and PET/CT for Bladder Cancer and Urothelial Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Signals
Detailed Summary
This research study is studying a positron emission tomography (PET) agent called 18F-fluciclovine to evaluate how well 18F-fluciclovine-PET scans determine the extent of muscle invasive bladder cancer (as compared to regular CT and MRI imaging) and whether 18F-fluciclovine-PET scans can provide information about the pathologic grade of the tumor.
Study Details
Timeline
Arms & Interventions
* 18F-fluciclovine will be administered via slow push over 10 seconds through a peripheral intravenous line * Immediately after the injection of the radiopharmaceutical, dynamic PET/CT images of the pelvis will be obtained for 15 minutes * Subsequently, PET/CT images will be obtained from the pelvis to the base of skull.
Interventions
18F-fluciclovine is a new radiotracer. This radiotracer targets amino-acid transporters, which are overexpressed in multiple cancers.
Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers, a special camera and a computer to help evaluate organ and tissue functions.
