PET/CT Assessment of Tumor Perfusion in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

February 22, 2019 updated by: Theodore Logan, Indiana University
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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 62Cu-ETS PET assessment
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
Drug: Sunitinib
Drug: 150-Water
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.
Drug: 62Cu-ethylglyoxal bis
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.
Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography
PET Scan
Other Names:
  • Seimens Biograph 64 TruePoint system

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients Where 62Cu-ETS PET and 15O-water PET Was Obtained
Time Frame: Baseline
Number of patients who had at least a baseline measurement of 62Cu-ETS PET and 15O-water PET
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum Standard Uptake Value (SUV) for Lesion Data
Time Frame: Baseline and 14-28 days after initiation of Sunitinib
Average values of the magnitude of tumor perfusion before and 14-28 days after initiation of Sunitinib treatment as measured by the maximum standard uptake value for all the lesion data. Standard uptake values were calculated as the ratio of the image derived radioactivity concentration and the whole body concentration of the injected radioactivity tracer. There were 14 patients who had a baseline reading and 12 patients who had a reading after treatment.
Baseline and 14-28 days after initiation of Sunitinib
