Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
After signing consent, patients will be in the Nuclear Medicine department for approximately 3 hours. The intervention is a one-off injection of [18-F]-FMISO (dosage 300-350MBq), administered by the technologist. Imaging will be a mix of dynamic and static acquisitions from the time of injection to 120 minutes after injection. Standard PET machine settings will otherwise be used.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 307951 0
The % of patients with subjectively assessed FMISO avidity in the target lesion
Timepoint [1] 307951 0
At time of PET imaging
Secondary outcome [1] 353443 0
Distribution of FMISO in target lesion and other tumour lesions - quantitative (SUVmax, peak, mean; ratio of uptake in target versus uptake in normal tissue of same organ) and qualitative assessment (geographical pattern of uptake in lesions). This is a composite outcome.
Timepoint [1] 353443 0
At time of PET scan
Secondary outcome [2] 353444 0
Safety of FMISO injection as assessed by CTCAE v4.03 criteria
Timepoint [2] 353444 0
From the time of the injection to 7 days post injection

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1) Patients 18 years of age or older with metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) and histological confirmation who have undergone PET scans at Royal North Shore Hospital
2) Patients identified by the nuclear medicine physicians as having a lesion with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET (DOTA) avidity on the periphery but not the centre of the lesion (i.e. lack of avidity in the hole of the “donut“-like tumour).
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1) Patients who have not received a PET scan at RNSH
2) Patients without a histological diagnosis of metastatic NEN
3) Inability to lie in a supine position on the PET scanning bed for 15 minutes;
4) Subjects who required sedation for their baseline clinical PET scan;
5) Renal failure requiring haemo- or peritoneal dialysis;
6) Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the patient’s participation in the study or evaluation of the study results;
