FTT PET/CT Imaging for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
This study is looking at a new imaging method for people with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (a type of cancer that starts in the pancreas and has spread or cannot be removed by surgery). Researchers are using a special tracer called [18F]FluorThanatrace ([18F]FTT) with a PET/CT scan. This tracer helps them see how much of a protein called PARP-1 is present in the tumors. PARP-1 is involved in DNA repair, and understanding its levels might help find new ways to treat these tumors. The main goal is to measure how much [18F]FTT is taken up by the tumors. You can join if you are 18 or older and have a diagnosed metastatic or unresectable pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor that is at least 1.5 cm in size. The study plans to enroll 12 patients. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 12 participants. It is a pilot study to evaluate PARP-1 expression using a novel PET imaging agent.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive an intravenous injection of [18F]FluorThanatrace and undergo a whole-body PET CT scan, including dynamic imaging for 60 minutes and possibly a static scan up to 90 minutes later.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, [18F]FTT SUV in PanNETS, is measured at Baseline. No further follow-up is specified.

What this trial measures
- [18F]FTT SUV in PanNETSBaseline
Evaluate the standard uptake value (SUV) of \[18F\]FTT in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETS). SUV is a measure of concentration of radioactivity/tracer in a specific tissue or organ usually calculated by weight or BMI.
