Imaging Malignant Glioma With 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT (DOTAGLI)

December 11, 2013 updated by: Heikki Minn, Turku University Hospital

PET/CT Imaging of Malignant Glioma With Somatostatin Analog 68Ga-DOTATOC

The purpose of this study is to characterize tumour uptake of somatostatin analog 68Ga-DOTATOC in patients with either primary or recurrent malignant glioma. The investigators hypothesis is that some primary and recurrent malignant gliomas overexpress SST2 receptor which can be imaged with 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT. The investigators also hypothesize that tumor uptake of 68Ga-DOTATOC correlates with immunohistochemically determined SST2 receptor status of the tumor specimen.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Malignant glioma uptake of 68Ga-DOTATOC
Time Frame: within 90 minutes post-injection
PET/CT imaging of the brain starts immediately after the intravenous bolus injection of 68Ga-DOTATOC. Dynamic PET/CT imaging is done over 60-min. A late 90-min scan will be obtained for selected patients. PET studies are analyzed by determining the Standardized Uptake Values (SUV) of the tumor using regions of interest (ROI) drawn both manually and automatically on the tumor.
within 90 minutes post-injection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Immunohistochemical SST2 receptor status of the tumor specimen
Time Frame: After glioma surgery within 4 weeks of PET/CT imaging
After glioma surgery within 4 weeks of PET/CT imaging
