18F-FES PET/CT in Imaging Patients With Desmoid Tumors

Early Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Deep Fibromatosis/Desmoid Tumor
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Interventions
Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography
Procedure: Computed Tomography
Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Registration Number
NCT02374931
Lead Sponsor
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center
Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies fluorine (F)-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in imaging patients with desmoid tumors. 18F-FES binds to estrogen receptors, which are present on desmoid tumors, and gives off radiation that may be detected by PET and CT scans. The PET/CT scan forms an image that may show where tumor cells with estrogen receptors can be found in the body.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Establish the avidity of desmoid tumors on 18F-FES PET/CT imaging. II. Correlate 18F-FES PET avidity with degree of estrogen receptor (ER) expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC).

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo 18F-FES PET/CT imaging over 30 minutes.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Standard uptake value (SUV) measured as percent injected dose per ccInitial visit, average within 24 hours of imaging

Data will be summarized graphically and numerically. Continuous variables (e.g. SUV) will be summarized using the mean, standard deviation, and a 5 number percentile summary set (minimum, p25, p50, p75, and maximum). The Spearman correlation statistic will be used to estimate the magnitude of a linear association between SUV and IHC measures. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals will be calculated for all point estimates.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
IHC staining intensity in tissue samplesWithin 4 weeks of imaging done at initial visit, day 1

IHC staining intensity measured on an ordinal scale or dichotomized as positive or negative. Data will be summarized graphically and numerically. Categorical measures (e.g., IHC) will be summarized in frequency tables. The Spearman correlation statistic will be used to estimate the magnitude of a linear association between SUV and IHC measures. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals will be calculated for all point estimates.
