Brief Title: GA-68 DOTA-TOC of Somatostatin Positive Malignancies
Official Title: Evaluation of Gallium-68 DOTA-TOC Imaging of Somatostatin Receptor Positive Malignancies
Study ID: NCT02177773
Brief Summary: This phase I/II trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in imaging patients with somatostatin receptor positive tumors. Gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC binds to somatostatin receptor positive tumors and can be seen using a PET scan. A PET scan uses a special camera to detect energy given off from gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC, to make detailed pictures of areas where material accumulates in the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC PET/CT or PET/MRI, may help find and diagnose somatostatin receptor positive tumors and help plan the best treatment.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC (gallium-68 labeled DOTA-TOC) results in the delineation of more lesions than with conventional imaging. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if the incorporation of gallium (Ga)-68 DOTA-TOC PET/CT into the management decision making process results in a change in stage of the patient. OUTLINE: Patients receive gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC intravenously (IV) over 1-2 minutes. Within 55-70 minutes, patients then undergo a PET/CT scan over 30-40 minutes or a PET/MRI scan over 50 minutes. After completion of study, patients are followed up for 2 weeks.
