Brief summary

A non-fission sourced, solvent generator produced 99mTc intravenous injection, as 99mTc -MDP, is to be used as a bone scan diagnostic radiopharmaceutical for assessment of bone pathology using the same oncologic indications as nuclear reactor sourced 99mTc, as 99mTc-MDP.

Detailed description

This clinical trial will be a comparison of diagnostic and imaging equivalency of 99mTc Pertechnetate intravenous injection (labeled with commercial MDP kits) produced by a non-fission sourced/solvent generator and a nuclear reactor/column sourced generator. Each oncologic participant acts as their own control to reduce error variance. Condition Intervention Phase Oncologic indication for which a bone scan would normally be indicated. Participant having recently had a bone scan using Technetium (99mTc) Medronate Injection USP labeled with 99mTc derived from fission-sourced 99Mo. Drug: Technetium (99mTc) Medronate Injection USP labeled with 99mTc derived from neutron-activation-produced 99Mo. Phase 3

Inclusion criteria

* Oncology out-patients in whom an acceptable quality standard-of-care Technetium (99mTc) Medronate bone scan has been ordered or obtained within the last 28 days. * If female of child-bearing potential is outside of the window of 10 days since the last menstrual period, a negative serum pregnancy test is required. * Age greater than or equal to 18 years.

Exclusion criteria

* Oncology out-patients in whom an acceptable quality standard-of-care Technetium (99mTc) Medronate bone scan has been ordered or obtained within the last 28 days. * If female of child-bearing potential is outside of the window of 10 days since the last menstrual period, a negative serum pregnancy test is required. * Age greater than or equal to 18 years. * Identified interval events which have occurred after the standard of care bone scan but prior to the administration of non-fission sourced Technetium (99mTc) Medronate which could influence or change bone scan uptake (e.g. skeletal trauma, orthopedic surgery, bone infection, or interval therapy (i.e. radiation therapy, non-maintenance chemotherapy). -

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Participants Analyzed for Diagnostic Efficacy of Technetium (99mTc) Medronate Injection Prepared With 99mTc Derived From Neutron-activation Produced 99Mo Imaging Sensitivity Versus 99mTc Derived From Fission-produced 99Mo Imaging Sensitivity.

All enrolled patients were re-imaged 3 to 28 days post a standard of care fission derived 99Mo bone scan using neutron-activation produced 99Mo as the investigational product. Per protocol dosage, time factors, injection site and imaging camera were matched. Resulting image sets (fission and neutron-activation) were analyzed visually for concordant biodistribution.

Time frame: 60 days

Population: Each participant (4) acted as their own control to reduce variance. Paired image sets were analyzed visually for concordant biodistribution between the 99mTc Medronate Injection prepared with 99mTc derived from Neutron-activation produced 99Mo versus 99mTc Medronate Injection derived from Fission-produced 99Mo referenced as the baseline standard.
