Inclusion criteria

* Subject must be 18 years of age or older. * Subject must not have any major health problems as deemed by principal investigator. * Subject must provide informed consent prior to enrollment.

Exclusion criteria

* Subject is pregnant or breast-feeding. * Subject is simultaneously participating in another investigative drug or device study. * Subject must have completed the follow-up phase of any previous study at least 30 days prior to enrollment in this study. * Subject has a known history of chronic abuse of drugs or alcohol or tests positive in pre-study urine drug abuse screen. * Subject is currently taking folic acid supplements and cannot stop taking the supplements for a period of 8 days (7 days prior to the study and one day after last imaging procedure). * Subject's physical condition unsuitable for radionuclide imaging. * Subject has been administered another radiopharmaceutical that would interfere with the assessment of the biodistribution of 99mTc-etarfolatide.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Distribution of Radioactive Drug Substance24 hoursTo measure distribution of radioactivity from 99mTc-EC20 injection in blood and urine samples.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety of 99mTc-Etarfolatide in Normal Volunteers4 days post-injection of EC20Asses any adverse events and serious adverse events experienced by volunteers.
Tolerability of 99mTc-Etarfolatide in Normal Volunteers4 daysAsses any adverse events and serious adverse events experienced by volunteers.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of SPECT images of Normal Volunteers with or without injection of Folic Acid24 hoursComparison made of SPECT images taken of volunteers who received folic acid injection prior to 99mTc-EC20 injection and those who did not receive folic acid injection. Readability of scans, background noise as well as evaluation of any other differences will be noted.
