A Study of 99m Tc Pertechnetate Produced in High Energy Cyclotron in Patients With Thyroid Scan Indication

November 30, 2017 updated by: Dr Éric E Turcotte, MD, Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke

A Phase I Study of 99m Tc Pertechnetate Produced in High Energy Cyclotron (CYCLOTEC) in Patients With Thyroid Scan Indication

Prospective, open label single site study to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Tc-99m pertechnetate produced by high energy cyclotron at CHUS.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The proposed clinical trial will be a prospective, case-controlled Phase I, open label, single site study. The first 10 consecutively enrolled patients will receive CYCLOTEC standard procedure thyroid imagery and an additional whole-body scans, and 20 subsequent case-matched controls, will receive GPERT and will also have additionnal whole body scan.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Cyclotec
The first 10 consecutively enrolled patients will have thyroid and whole body scan with CycloTec
generator produced Tc99m-pertechnetate
20 subsequent case-matched controls will have thyroid and whole body scan with conventional Tc99m-pertechnetate

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biodistribution of Tc99m produced by high-energy cyclotron (CycloTec)
Time Frame: 6 months
Equivalence of biodistribution of Tc99m produced by high-energy cyclotron (CycloTec) will be compared to the biodistribution of the conventional Tc99m pertechnetated (Case match: 1 CycloTec patient vs. 2 conventional Tc99m-pertechnetate patients)
6 months
