Imaging With a PET Agent for Detection of Cancers of the Head and Neck

Safety, Biodistribution and Radiation Dosimetry of [18F]PARPi

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study drug called PARPi-FL. This drug has been tested in animals but not yet in people. The purpose of this study is to test if a PARPi-FL scan can be used to take pictures of head and neck cancer. The usual approach to imaging this cancer includes several different imaging scans, including x-rays, CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and PET (positron emission tomography). These tests take pictures of the cancer.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • Claustrophobia interfering with PET/CT imaging
    • Known allergy to PEG300
    • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Lab values

  • Hematologic
    • o Platelets \<75K/mcL
  • Hepatic
    • Bilirubin \>2.0 x ULN (institutional upper limits of normal)
    • AST/ALT \>2.5 x ULN
  • Renal
    • o Creatinine \> 2.0 x ULN

Other

  • Significantly impaired organ function that may interfere with the excretion and metabolism of the imaging agent. Specifically, patients will be excluded if they meet the following criteria:

Who the study is looking for

  • Part 1:
  • Age ≥18 years
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1
  • Biopsy (histologically or cytologically) proven Squamos Cell Carcinoma
  • Oral cavity, oropharynx, or nasopharynx primary site
  • At least one tumor lesion on standard of care imaging with a minimum diameter of at least 1.5 cm
  • Scheduled to undergo treatment at MSKCC
  • Willingness to sign informed consent
    • Part 2
  • Age ≥18 years
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1
  • Biopsy (histologically or cytologically) proven Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  • Oral cavity,oropharynx, or nasopharynx primary site
  • Scheduled to undergo surgery (neck dissection and/ or neck dissection + surgical removal of the primary) at MSK
  • Willingness to sign informed consent
  • Should have had a standard-of-care \[18F\]-FDG PET/CT scan before surgery (to minimize the possibility of new alterations developing between the two scans both scans should be acquired within a maximum time difference of one month).
