PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4

A response is the number of participants whose tumor demonstrated a decrease in FDG uptake (SUV) by 50% or greater in at least one of the metastatic sites as measured by PET imaging at the end of 4 weeks of treatment compared to baseline.

Outcome measures

Measure
Naltrexone Treatment
n=8 Participants
Naltrexone 50 mg will be orally taken once daily for 28 day (cycle 1), and continues once daily for another 28 days (cycle 2) without interval. PET scan will be performed as baseline level at the beginning of study and after the completion of cycle 1 and cycle 2.
Disease Response
1 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to 1 Year

Population: One of the 8 participants did not have an increase in SUV above baseline at 8 weeks, but no further PET scans were performed after 8 weeks. The reported median value is for the remaining 7 participants.

First time when maximum SUV is higher than that at baseline within 1 year of study entry.
