- Radiation: 124I-Iodo-Azomycin Galacto-Pyranoside
- Registration Number
- NCT00588276

- Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate low oxygen areas called hypoxia within the tumor. These low oxygen areas are thought to be the reason why tumors are more resistant to radiation treatment. A tracer is an extremely small quantity of a substance. Tracer to which radioactivity has been attached may be used to "trace" events in the body. A tracer called iodo-azomycin galactopyranoside (or \*IAZGP) appears to be able to detect low oxygen areas within tumor.
Radioactive iodine in this molecule can be detected by an imaging technique called a PET scan. This present study involves obtaining three scans using this new imaging technique. The goal of carrying out many scans is to determine which scan will best show any areas in your tumor that may have low levels of oxygen.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To describe imaging findings in human cancer with the new hypoxia tracer 124IAZGP and PET/CT at least once at approximately 6 hours and/or 24 hours after radiotracer administration. To evaluate the biodistribution of 124IAZGP using serial PET imaging and to estimate blood radioactivity 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes after 124IAZGP, and before and after each. A 5-mL volume of blood will be drawn at each sampling time point. To obtain further human dosimetry data with 124IAZGP 2 years
