3'-Deoxy-3'-[18F] Fluorothymidine PET Imaging in Patients With Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F] fluorothymidine (FLT) PET imaging, may help find and diagnose cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying FLT PET imaging in patients with cancer.

Detailed Description
-----------------
OBJECTIVES: Primary Evaluate the use of 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F] fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to measure tumor proliferation and the DNA synthetic pathway (thymidine kinase levels) in patients with cancer. Secondary Determine the efficacy of FLT PET imaging in detecting lesions and estimating response to treatment. OUTLINE: Patients undergo up to four 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F] fluorothymidine positron emission tomography imaging procedures.

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Interventional Model Description: PET scans will be performed to show the distribution throughout the body of substances containing a small amount of radioactive material.
Masking: None (Open Label)


Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine<br>The PET scan data collection is started immediately and is continued for 2 hours. This procedure will measure tumor growth within the body. | Device: 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine<br>* The tracer compound [F-18] FLT will be injected into the patient's veins in a small volume of normal saline solution. The PET scan data collection is started immediately and is continued for 2 hours. This procedure will measure tumor growth within the body. Blood may be withdrawn (through the catheters) up to a total volume of 30 milliliters (or 2 tablespoons) for each scan. A urine sample may be collected at the end of the imaging of the tracer compound to analyze its breakdown products.<br>* Other names: PET Scan;|
