Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Any abnormality found as part of the pretreatment screening or in any of the laboratory tests performed that the investigators considers might influence the outcome of the study (e.g. co-morbidities) • Participation in a clinical study with a radioactive substance in the last 12 months • Intake of any medication during two weeks before the start of the study, which the investigator considers may affect the validity of the study, due to interference with CYP3A4 and/or Pgp • For female subjects in child-bearing age: Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: ? To correlate PET imaging outcome parameters (e.g. volume of distribution (VT) of [11C]tariquidar in tumor tissue) at staging with Pgp expression levels measured by IHC and/or at baseline (diagnostic biopsy);Secondary Objective: ? To correlate [11C]tariquidar PET imaging outcome parameters and Pgp expression levels at baseline with response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy measured by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) ? Assess safety and tolerability of [11C]tariquidar PET imaging ? To correlate changes in [11C]tariquidar PET imaging outcome parameters with changes in Pgp expression levels before and after chemotherapy (optional) ? To correlate [11C]tariquidar PET imaging outcome parameters and Pgp expression levels measured after chemotherapy with response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy measured by RECIST criteria (optional) ;Primary end point(s): ? Correlation of [11C]tariquidar PET imaging outcome parameters at staging with Pgp expression levels measured by IHC at baseline (diagnostic biopsy) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after first PET scan | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): ? Correlation of [11C]tariquidar PET imaging outcome parameters and Pgp expression levels at baseline with response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy measured by RECIST criteria;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ? after end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (expected duration: 3 weeks) | — |
