Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 PET/CT and compare it with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL).

Detailed Description

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

68Ga-based somatostatin receptor (SSTR) PET/CT has emerged as the cornerstone for staging and monitoring metastatic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (mPPGL), including its integral theranostic role in selecting patients for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Compared to conventional 68Ga-DOTA-SSA analogs, 18F-labeled SSTR antagonists offer advantages including higher yield, superior image resolution, and longer half-life, potentially facilitating clinical workflow. Al18F-NOTA-LM3 is an SSTR2-specific antagonist developed as a PET tracer, with preliminary data supporting its safety, favorable biodistribution, and effective lesion targeting. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of Al18F-NOTA-LM3 PET/CT compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in a cohort of patients with PPGL.

Study Groups

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

Al18F-NOTA-LM3 and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan

Patients will perform an Al18F-NOTA-LM3 PET/CT as well as a 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan within one week, with a minimum 24-hour interval between scans.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Diagnostic Test: Al18F-NOTA-LM3

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive a single intravenous injection of Al18F-NOTA-LM3. Subsequently, a PET/CT scan will be performed within 60 to 120 minutes post-injection.

Diagnostic Test: 68Ga-DOTATATE

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive a single intravenous injection of 68Ga-DOTATATE. Subsequently, a PET/CT scan will be performed within 40 to 60 minutes post-injection.
