Imaging With a PET Agent for Detection of Cancers of the Head and Neck

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Head and Neck Cancer
Interventions
Drug: [18F]- PARPi
Diagnostic Test: PET/CT Scans
Registration Number
NCT03631017
Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study drug called PARPi-FL. This drug has been tested in animals but not yet in people. The purpose of this study is to test if a PARPi-FL scan can be used to take pictures of head and neck cancer. The usual approach to imaging this cancer includes several different imaging scans, including x-rays, CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and PET (positron emission tomography). These tests take pictures of the cancer.

Inclusion Criteria

Part 1:

  • Age ≥18 years
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1
  • Biopsy (histologically or cytologically) proven Squamos Cell Carcinoma
  • Oral cavity, oropharynx, or nasopharynx primary site
  • At least one tumor lesion on standard of care imaging with a minimum diameter of at least 1.5 cm
  • Scheduled to undergo treatment at MSKCC
  • Willingness to sign informed consent

Part 2

  • Age ≥18 years
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1
  • Biopsy (histologically or cytologically) proven Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  • Oral cavity,oropharynx, or nasopharynx primary site
  • Scheduled to undergo surgery (neck dissection and/ or neck dissection + surgical removal of the primary) at MSK
  • Willingness to sign informed consent
  • Should have had a standard-of-care [18F]-FDG PET/CT scan before surgery (to minimize the possibility of new alterations developing between the two scans both scans should be acquired within a maximum time difference of one month).
