Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety of 68Ga-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide PET in Diagnosis of Solid Tumors (NCT NCT01619865)

NCT ID: NCT01619865

Last Updated: 2021-07-27

Results Overview

Subject receives an injection of 68Ga-DOTATOC, a somatostatin-like peptide that binds to somatostatin receptor and is tagged with a radionuclide that can be detected by positron emission tomography (PET). Whole body PET is performed; patient is queried regarding any adverse events immediately and again 24 hrs after completion of scan read by certified nuclear medicine physician to determine if any known tumor lesions take up 68Ga-DOTATOC.Severity of adverse events will be graded according to NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0). Adverse events are assessed immediately after PET scan and 24 hrs after completion of the scan.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Clinics and University of Iowa Children's Hospital. Participants being seen for known or suspected somatostatin receptor positive tumors were recruited for the study. Malignancies included neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, and pheochromocytoma.

Female subjects of childbearing potential were given a pregnancy test (serum) prior to receiving research-related radiation. A women who was pregnant could not participate in the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During PET scan and 24 hours post scan

Population: Subjects who reported an adverse event and relationship of adverse event to study drug (68Ga-DOTATOC). Several subjects reported more than one adverse event; thus, the number of subjects who experienced an event will be less than the number of events.

Subject receives an injection of 68Ga-DOTATOC, a somatostatin-like peptide that binds to somatostatin receptor and is tagged with a radionuclide that can be detected by positron emission tomography (PET). Whole body PET is performed; patient is queried regarding any adverse events immediately and again 24 hrs after completion of scan read by certified nuclear medicine physician to determine if any known tumor lesions take up 68Ga-DOTATOC.Severity of adverse events will be graded according to NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0). Adverse events are assessed immediately after PET scan and 24 hrs after completion of the scan.
