Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as 3'-deoxy-3'-\[18F\] fluorothymidine (FLT) PET imaging, may help find and diagnose cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying FLT PET imaging in patients with cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Evaluate the use of 3'-deoxy-3'-\[18F\] fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to measure tumor proliferation and the DNA synthetic pathway (thymidine kinase levels) in patients with cancer.

Secondary

* Determine the efficacy of FLT PET imaging in detecting lesions and estimating response to treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo up to four 3'-deoxy-3'-\[18F\] fluorothymidine positron emission tomography imaging procedures.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine

The PET scan data collection is started immediately and is continued for 2 hours. This procedure will measure tumor growth within the body.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine

Intervention Type DEVICE

The tracer compound \[F-18\] FLT will be injected into the patient's veins in a small volume of normal saline solution. The PET scan data collection is started immediately and is continued for 2 hours. This procedure will measure tumor growth within the body. Blood may be withdrawn (through the catheters) up to a total volume of 30 milliliters (or 2 tablespoons) for each scan. A urine sample may be collected at the end of the imaging of the tracer compound to analyze its breakdown products.
