PET/CT Imaging of Malignant Glioma With Somatostatin Analog 68Ga-DOTATOC
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age: 18 to 70 years old
- Language spoken: Finnish or Swedish
- Performance status: Karnofsky score 70 or better or WHO performance status 2 or
better
- Supratentorial malignant glioma based on MRI imaging
- Supratentorial recurrent glioma based on MRI and/or [11C]methionine PET imaging
- Patients must be able to understand the meaning of the study and sign the appropriate
Ethical Committee approved informed consent documents in the presence of the
designated staff
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any medical or psychiatric condition that compromises the subject´s ability to
participate in the study
- Any other significant disease including liver or renal disease
- Pregnant or lactating women
Type of Study:
Interventional
Study Design:
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Outcome Measure:
Malignant glioma uptake of 68Ga-DOTATOC
Outcome Description:
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.
Outcome Time Frame:
within 90 minutes post-injection
Safety Issue:
No
