Trial Information

Pilot Trial of the NK1 Receptor Radio-Ligand [18F]SPA-RQ: Imaging Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine whether [18F]-labeled substance P antagonist receptor quantifier positron
emission tomography can identify pancreatic cancer evident on multiphase CT scan.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo multiphase CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. No more than
15 days later, patients receive [18F]-labeled substance P antagonist receptor quantifier IV
and undergo positron emission tomography over 6 hours.

Blood is collected periodically to measure the metabolism of the radiotracer by high
performance liquid chromatography with radioactive detectors.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the pancreas

- Primary or metastatic disease

- At least one site of measurable disease

- Enrolled in an NCI protocol (either a treatment or screening protocol) such as
NCI-05-C-0044 or NCI-05-C-0141

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

Inclusion criteria:

- ECOG performance status 0-2

- Fertile patients must agree to use effective contraception

- Not pregnant or nursing

Exclusion criteria:

- Allergy to IV contrast

- Claustrophobia that would preclude completion of a scan or unable to lie on one's
back for positron emission tomography scan

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

Inclusion criteria:

- More than 4 weeks since prior abdominal surgery

Exclusion criteria:

- Prior participation in other research protocols within the past year such that a
radiation exposure together with the present study would exceed the annual limits

quantifier positron emission tomography
