Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
18F-labeled radiotracers have shown several advantages compared to 68Ga-labelled tracers, including increased cyclotron production, lower positron energy, and longer half-life when compared to 68Ga, theoretically to the benefit of image quality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the biodistribution, safety, and diagnostic ability of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 in patients with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. And compare the diagnostic ability of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3 PET/CT. Clinical management related to imaging will also be compared.
Patients with histologically confirmed well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (G1 and G2) will be recruited in this study. All patients will be randomized into two arms (A and B): Patients in arm A performed Al18F-NOTA-LM3 and 68Ga-DOTATATE. Patients in arm B performed Al18F-NOTA-LM3 and 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3. The first eight patients will undergo serial PET scans at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 120 min after injection of Al18F-NOTA-LM3. The following patients will perform a whole-body PET/CT scan at 60-90 minutes after injection of Al18F-NOTA-LM3. All patients a whole-body PET/CT scan at 40-60 minutes after administering 68Ga-DOTATATE or 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3. For each patient, the two pet scans should be done within a week and the interval between the two scans should be at least 24h in case of mutual interference.
The images were reviewed by 2 experienced nuclear medicine physicians who were masked to all patients' clinical information. The results were based on consensus, with any discrepant result resolved by a consensus image interpretation by a third senior physician.
The biodistribution, dosimetry, safety, and diagnostic ability of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 will be explored. The diagnostic ability of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3 PET/CT will be compared. We will also compare the clinical management using different imaging modalities.
