Pilot Study of (61)CuATSM-PET Imaging in Cancer Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hypoxia is a key factor in malignant progression of a neoplasm. It is our aim to explore the basis for quantitative in vivo tumor imaging by Cu-61 diacetyl-bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone)PET imaging as a surrogate of tissue hypoxia. We hypothesize that the hypoxia levels are predictive of the tumor response to therapy. Patients will have 2 CU-ATSM PET scans done and the goal is to show spatially stable tracer distributions that correlate with tumor hypoxia. This study will serve as a pilot study for a PO1 submission

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To validate the CuATSM-PET imaging by correlation to the serum level of osteopontin, a marker of hypoxia [end of study]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To test reliability of the CuATSM uptake by quantifying the reproducibility of the pre-treatment CuATSM_PET scans [end of study]
- To assess the technical and logistic feasibility of CuATSM-PET scans in a population of cancer patients [end of study]
