Study of PET Imaging With 18F-TFB in Patients With Thyroid Cancer

Korábbi kezelés

• Patients unable to follow a low iodine diet or requiring medication with high content in iodide (amiodarone).
• Patients who received iodinated intravenous contrast as part of a radiographic procedure within 3 months of study registration. Those that have had iodinated intravenous contrast for CT imaging within this time frame may still be eligible if a urinary iodine analysis reveals that the excess iodine has been adequately cleared after the last intravenous contrast administration.

Más betegség

• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

Egyéb

• Pregnant, lactating, or breast feeding women.
• Unwillingness or inability to comply with study procedures.

• Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed thyroid carcinoma of follicular origin (including papillary and its respective variants).
• Patients should have tumors that are radiographically evident on PET, ultrasound, CT or MRI
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• ECOG performance status ≤ 2 (or Karnofsky ≥60%).
• Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function as defined below:
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5x10\^9/L
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Platelets ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L
  • Albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x institutional ULN
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2x institutional ULN unless it is related to the primary disease
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL OR calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥ 50 mL/min OR 24-hour urine creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min
• Negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to starting the study in premenopausal women. Women of non-childbearing potential may be included without pregnancy test if they are either surgically sterile or have been postmenopausal for ≥ 1 year.
• Fertile men and women must use an effective method of contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months after completion of treatment as directed by their physician. Effective methods of contraception are defined as those, which result in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly (for example implants, injectables, combined oral contraception or intra-uterine devices). At the discretion of the Investigator, acceptable methods of contraception may include total abstinence in cases where the lifestyle of the patient ensures compliance. (Periodic abstinence \[e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods\] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
