Brief Summary

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

LM3 is a novel somatostatin receptor antagonist, while Gallium-68 DOTATATE is a typical somatostatin receptor agonist, This study is to evaluate the safety, biodistribution, dosimetry, and lesion detection ability of Gallium-68 labeled somatostatin receptor antagonist LM3 for the diagnostic imaging of metastatic, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors using positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT).

The results will be compared between antagonist Gallium-68 labeled LM3 and agonist Gallium-labeled DOTATATE in the same group of patients.

It will also be compared between the two different antagonists, Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3 and Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3, in two parallel-designed arms.

Detailed Description

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

Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors will be recruited in this study.

All patients will be randomized into two groups: Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3 group and Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3 group.

The study will be divided into the following 2 parts:

Part ONE, which will enroll 16 patients (8 in each group), focuses on the safety evaluation, biodistribution, and dosimetry. In Part A, patients will undergo serial whole-body PET/CT scans at multiple time points (5m, 10m, 20m, 40m, 1h, 2h) after administering 40ug/150-200MBq Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3 or Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3 (according to their group).

Part TWO, which will enroll 24 patients (12 in each group) and follows Part A study, focuses on lesion detection ability. In Part B, patients will undergo one whole-body PET/CT scan at 1 hour after administering 40ug/150-200MBq Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3 or Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3 (according to their group).

All patients need to do a Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT scan (40ug/150-200MBq, 1h post-injection) for comparison on the next day.

Study Groups

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

Patients will undergo a Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3 PET/CT as well as a Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3 PET/CT

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Twenty patients will take this intervention. They will be further divided into two sub-groups with the same interventional radiopharmaceutical (Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3) but different scanning protocols (Protocol A and Protocol B). The first enrolled 8 patients will go with Protocol A, who will undergo serial whole-body PET/CT scans at multiple time points (5m, 10m, 20m, 40m, 1h, 2h) after administering 40ug/150-200MBq Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3. Baseline safety assessment will be conducted right before the study. The following 12 patients will go with Protocol B, who will undergo a whole-body PET/CT scan at 1 hour after administering 40ug/150-200MBq Gallium-68 NODAGA-LM3.

Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All patients have to do a Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT scan (40ug/150-200MBq, 1h post-injection) for comparison on the next day of LM3 scan. Safety assessment and tolerability of the previous LM3 study will be conducted right before the study.

Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3 group

Patients will undergo a Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3 PET/CT as well as a Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3 PET/CT

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Twenty patients will take this intervention. They will be further divided into two sub-groups with the same intervention radiopharmaceutical (Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3) but different scanning protocols (Protocol C and Protocol D). The first enrolled 8 patients will go with Protocol C, who will undergo serial whole-body PET/CT scans at multiple time points (5m, 10m, 20m, 40m, 1h, 2h) after administering 40ug/150-200MBq Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3. Baseline safety assessment will be conducted right before the study. The following 12 patients will go with Protocol D, who will undergo a whole-body PET/CT scan at 1 hour after administering 40ug/150-200MBq Gallium-68 DOTA-LM3.

Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All patients have to do a Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT scan (40ug/150-200MBq, 1h post-injection) for comparison on the next day of LM3 scan. Safety assessment and tolerability of the previous LM3 study will be conducted right before the study.
