18F ML-10 for Early Detection of Response of Brain Metastases to WBRT

NCT00791063 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of \[18F\]-ML-10 to serve as a non-invasive imaging tool for the early detection of apoptosis in brain metastases in response to radiation therapy. Such early detection may improve clinical management of patients with brain metastases, as it may help early identification of non-responders, and subsequently potentially lead to optimization of radiation dose, early decision on focal irradiation of selected, non-responsive lesions, or early referral of the patient to surgery. The experimental design of the present study aims to evaluate the potential of non-invasive PET examination with \[18F\]-ML-10, to provide the clinician early in the course of treatment, via non-invasive molecular imaging of radiation-induced apoptosis, information on tumor responsiveness, that is currently available only several weeks to months after completion of the radiotherapy.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

18F ML-10

Patients will undergo 2-3 brain PET/CT sessions; A pre-treatment session and 1-2 sessions post WBRT treatment. Each PET/CT session will be done following intravenous administration of 18F-ML-10, to assess tracer uptake by the tumor.
