Pinverin Application Trial to Reduce Bowel Uptake of FDG (Fluorodeoxyglucose)

April 13, 2016 updated by: Won Woo Lee, Seoul National University Hospital

Clinical Trial of Pinverin (Pinaverium Bromide) to Reduce Bowel Uptake of FDG in a Variety of Cancer Patients Who Undergo FDG PET/CT

  1. Background

    1. PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) using FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) is widely used for evaluation of cancer patients.
    2. Bowel uptake of FDG is a serious problem that hampers the proper reading of PET/CT.
    3. There is no widely-accepted method to reduce the bowel FDG uptake.
  2. Purpose

    1. To know whether pinverin (pinaverium bromide) application during PET/CT can reduce bowel uptake of FDG.
    2. Pinverin is a calcium-channel blocker that ameliorates the bowel contraction.
    3. Pinverin may be useful to reduce bowel FDG uptake by ameliorating the bowel contraction during PET/CT acquisition.
  3. Method

    1. Intervention versus control: administration of single tablet of pinverin (50mg) perorally versus simple water (~100mL).
    2. Timing of administration: At the time of FDG injection. PET/CT images will be acquired 1hr post FDG injection.
  4. Primary outcome

    1. SUV (standardized uptake value) difference between pinverin administered patient group versus control group.
    2. SUV (standardized uptake value) is calculated as: (decay corrected radioactivity in mCi/mL) x (body weight in g) / (injected radioactivity in mCi)

Measure Description
Time Frame
SUV (standardized uptake value)
Time Frame: 1 hour after FDG (the radiopharmaceutical for PET/CT) injection

SUV is the quantitative parameter of FDG uptake during PET/CT and represents the degree of relative FDG uptake in a specific lesion.

SUV is calculated as: (decay-corrected radioactivity in mCi/mL) x (body weight in g) / (injected radioactivity in mCi). The unit of SUV is g/mL.
