Follow-up Yttrium-90 Internal Pair Production PET/CT vs Brehmsstrahlung Imaging in Patients With Primary/Metastatic Liver Tumors

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Hepatic Tumors
Liver Cancer
Interventions
Device: PET/CT Scan
Registration Number
NCT02202317
Lead Sponsor
University of Miami
Brief Summary

This is a prospective non-blinded case series involving the acquisition of a pair production PET/CT as soon as possible after an already performed Y-90 Sirspheres treatment of hepatic malignancy. It will be performed in addition to the standard Brehmsstrahlung SPECT scan. The sequence of the two scans in each case (PET/CT vs SPECT) will be determined by availability of the scanners at the time. However, it is intended that both be acquired on the day of the Y-90 treatment.

The length of subject participation will be one year.

The measures used will be mostly qualitative in nature, and will include:

* Correlation with expected vs. achieved tumor coverage by the treatment

* Correlation between treatment distribution depicted by Brehmsstrahlung scans vs. the Internal Pair Production PET/CT scans, to.

* Detection of non-target embolization, where applicable, and qualitative comparison between the two modalities as to the conspicuity of the abnormality

Qualitative methods will be used by the analysis of the obtained PET/CT images and comparing them to the Brehmsstrahlung SPECT images as previously described.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects Whose Y-90 Based PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography)Scans Detected Extrahepatic Non-target Embolization.12 months

Number of participants with detected extrahepatic non-target embolization. A qualitative comparison between the two modalities (Y-90 PET/CT and Brehmsstrahlung SPECT) as to the conspicuity of the abnormality would have been conducted had any participant had that result.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison Between Treatment Distribution Depicted by Tc99mMAA (Technetium-99m Macroaggregated Albumin) Brehmsstrahlung Scans vs. the Internal Pair Production PET/CT Scans.12 months

Number of participants demonstrating a similar treatment distribution depicted by Tc99mMAA(Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin) Brehmsstrahlung scans vs. achieved Y-90 distribution on the Internal Pair Production PET/CT scans.

Comparison of Y-90 PET/CT to Y90 SPECT12 Months

Number of participants with a similar Y90 distribution depicted on Post Y90 delivery PET/CT and SPECT modalities, specifically comparing Y90 distribution within the treated tumors.
