Clinical Feasibility and Potential Clinical Benefit of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT Assessment of Soft Tissue Sarcomas for Potential Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy
Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
This trial studies how well 68Ga-DOTATATE digital PET/CT work in diagnosing soft tissue sarcoma. 68Ga-DOTATATE is a radiotracer that may improve image quality of PET imaging. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research, 68Ga-DOTATATE. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body. 68Ga-DOTATATE digital PET/CT may work better in imaging patients with soft tissue sarcomas.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the feasibility and capability of gallium Ga 68-HA-DOTA-TATE (68Ga-DOTATATE) digital positron emission tomography (dPET)/ computed tomography (CT) imaging for soft tissue sarcomas. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the clinical benefit of 68Ga-DOTATATE for a comprehensive assessment of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) using next-generation digital PET detector technology. II. To describe the perfusion and early tumor uptake kinetics of tumor targets at baseline and following conventional systemic therapy using both 68Ga-DOT AT A TE dPET/CT and 18F-FDG dPET/CT a…
