Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to propose the first direct comparison of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET in patients with meningioma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The investigator is proposing a direct comparison of Ga-68-DOTATATE and -DOTATOC in a pilot cohort of patients with meningioma, and hypothesize non-inferiority of DOTATOC. This pilot study will form the basis for a subsequent prospective clinical trial and will allow us to optimize our existing imaging protocols, while developing a more cost-effective protocol.

Primary Objectives:
  • Optimize the Ga-68-DOTATATE and -DOTATOC PET protocol.

  • Compare Ga-68-DOTATATE and -DOTATOC PET in patients with meningioma.

Secondary Objectives

• Correlate Ga-68-DOTATATE and -DOTATOC PET with clinical and pathological characteristics

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
6 participants
Allocation:
N/A
Intervention Model:
Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
The study intervention consists of 2 PET/CT scans that will be performed at least 24h apart using 68-Ga-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC radiotracers, in patients with suspected meningioma that are planned for subsequent surgery. Visit 1 Patients will undergo 68-Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan. Visit 2 At least 24h apart from Visit 1, patients will undergo 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan. Follow-up Phase Patients enrolled in the study are planned for surgery as part of SOC. After the two scans, patients will undergo surgery and a histopathologic analysis of the resected tumor will be performed. The histopathology results will be used to correlate molecular biomarkers with imaging parameters. Patients are not required to return physically to the clinic for a follow-up visit. However, during the follow up period a review of clinical and imaging records related to the diagnosis will be conducted by the research team as part of the study during the follow- up period.The study intervention consists of 2 PET/CT scans that will be performed at least 24h apart using 68-Ga-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC radiotracers, in patients with suspected meningioma that are planned for subsequent surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Patients with Meningioma

Subjects with suspected meningioma planned for surgery who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Drug: Ga-68- DOTATATE
The study intervention consists of two PET/CT scans that will be performed using two different radiotracers, 68-Ga-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC. Ga-68-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC are PET radiotracers targeting somatostatin receptors. The study intervention consists of 2 PET/CT scans that will be performed at least 24h apart using 68-Ga-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC radiotracers, in patients with suspected meningioma that are planned for subsequent surgery.

Drug: Ga-68-DOTATOC

Ga-68-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC are PET radiotracers targeting somatostatin receptors. The study intervention consists of 2 PET/CT scans that will be performed at least 24h apart using 68-Ga-DOTATATE and 68-Ga-DOTATOC radiotracers, in patients with suspected meningioma that are planned for subsequent surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Qualitatively measure the visual appearance of target lesion to cranial blood pool using the maximum SUV ratio to compare results from Ga-68-DOTATATE and -DOTATOC PET. [Over 12 months]

    Compare visual appearance qualitatively using the maximum SUV ratio of target lesion to cranial blood pool (i.e. superior sagittal sinus reference region) of DOTATATE and DOTATOC PET scans in patients with meningioma. Based on our pilot clinical case series, the following reference regions will be evaluated: Suspected meningioma; Pituitary gland; Superior sagittal sinus; Brain parenchyma. Dynamic PET will be acquired and data will be analyzed including comparison of tissue-activity curves and Patlak analysis, as established by the PI in a pilot cohort. Extent of meningioma based on Ga-68-DOTATATE- and DOTATOC PET/CT will be compared to extent of disease as determined by MRI.

  2. Quantitatively measure the visual appearance of target lesion to cranial blood pool using the maximum SUV ratio to compare results from Ga-68-DOTATATE and -DOTATOC PET. [Over 12 months]

    Compare visual appearance quantitatively using the maximum SUV ratio of target lesion to cranial blood pool (i.e. superior sagittal sinus reference region) of DOTATATE and DOTATOC PET scans in patients with meningioma. Qualitative analysis will include evaluation by board certified radiologists with expertise in nuclear medicine/ molecular imaging who will be blinded to the radiotracer injected. Quantitative analysis will include extraction of the ratio of lesion's SUVmax values/reference regions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Compare molecular biomarker (Ki67) analysis to Ga-68-DOTATATE PET and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET by measuring biomarker histopathology (Ki67) results to the maximum SUV ratio of target lesion to cranial blood pool. [Over 12 months]

    Patients enrolled in the study will subsequently undergo surgical resection of the lesion. The surgical specimen will be used for biomarker analysis to assess genetic information. The additional staining that will take place for research purposes includes, specifically Ki67. These parameters will be correlated with parameters acquired from the 68-Ga-DOTATATE and - DOTATOC PET scans.

  2. Compare molecular biomarker (EGFR) analysis to Ga-68-DOTATATE PET and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET by measuring biomarker histopathology (EGFR) results to the maximum SUV ratio of target lesion to cranial blood pool. [Over 12 months]

    Patients enrolled in the study will subsequently undergo surgical resection of the lesion. The surgical specimen will be used for biomarker analysis to assess genetic information. The additional staining that will take place for research purposes includes, specifically (epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR). These parameters will be correlated with parameters acquired from the 68-Ga-DOTATATE and - DOTATOC PET scans.

  3. Compare molecular biomarker (progesterone receptor) analysis to Ga-68-DOTATATE PET and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET by measuring biomarker histopathology (progesterone receptor) results to the maximum SUV ratio of target lesion to cranial blood pool. [Over 12 months]

    Patients enrolled in the study will subsequently undergo surgical resection of the lesion. The surgical specimen will be used for biomarker analysis to assess genetic information. The additional staining that will take place for research purposes includes, specifically progesterone receptor. These parameters will be correlated with parameters acquired from the 68-Ga-DOTATATE and - DOTATOC PET scans.

  4. Compare molecular biomarker (SSTR2 expression) analysis to Ga-68-DOTATATE PET and Ga-68-DOTATOC PET by measuring biomarker histopathology (SSTR2 expression) results to the maximum SUV ratio of target lesion to cranial blood pool. [Over 12 months]

    Patients enrolled in the study will subsequently undergo surgical resection of the lesion. The surgical specimen will be used for biomarker analysis to assess genetic information. The additional staining that will take place for research purposes includes, specifically SSTR2 expression. These parameters will be correlated with parameters acquired from the 68-Ga-DOTATATE and - DOTATOC PET scans.
