Conditions: Renal Cell Carcinoma
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 14
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
Given the growing importance of anti-angiogenic therapies in the treatment of metastatic renal carcinoma, it is expected that this trial will establish the preliminary data needed to apply for funding of a larger clinical investigation of the potential role of PET perfusion imaging in management of renal carcinoma, and potentially other cancers.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: CT scan for attenuation correction; 15O-water administered by intravenous injection and 6-minute dynamic PET imaging; 62Cu-ETS administered by intravenous injection; Dynamic PET acquisition for 6-minutes; Whole-body PET acquisition from 6-20 minutes post-62Cu-ETS injection

Interventions: intervention 1: 150-Water intervention 2: 62Cu-ethylglyoxal bis intervention 3: Positron Emission Tomography intervention 4: Sunitinib
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Patients will be imaged immediately before, and between 14-28 days after initiation of Sunitinib therapy, in the single bed position using the Siemens Biograph 64 TruePoint system located in the clinical facilities of the I.U. Cancer Center. Administer 15O-water at 50 mCi/dose, IV. intervention 2: Imaging with 62Cu-ETS will be done immediately following imaging with 150-water. Patients will be imaged immediately before, and between 14-28 days after, initiation of Sunitinib therapy using the Siemens Biograph 64 TruePoint system located in the clinical facilities of the I.U. Cancer Center. Administer 62Cu-ETS in the range of 20-25 mCi/Dose, IV. intervention 3: PET Scan intervention 4: None
