Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of tumor uptake of 99mTc-DTPA-bis(Methionine) using Gamma camera imaging for detecting malignant lesions. assessment of tracer specificity and sensitivity for LAT1-overexpressing tumors. Timepoint: Static Gamma Camera imaging at 1 hour and 4 hours post-injection. Method of measurement: Qualitative and semi-quantitative assessment of tracer uptake on Gamma Camera images, including tumor visualization and tumor-to-background comparison.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluation of physiological biodistribution and clearance pattern of 99mTc-DTPA-bis(Methionine) in human subjects using Gamma Camera imaging, including renal excretion and background activity in major organs. Timepoint: Image-based assessment at 1 hour and 4 hours post-injection. Method of measurement: Visual and semi-quantitative interpretation of Gamma camera images to assess tracer distribution in kidneys, liver, soft tissues, and other background regions.
