Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a pre-treatment PET scan using the experimental imaging tracer 18F-FAC can show how much of the standard chemotherapy for PDAC may be taken up by the cancer.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPET Scan

Participants will receive a minimum of 4 mCi (148 MBq) and up to a maximum of 10 mCi (370 MBq) of \[18F\]-FAC intravenously. Injection is performed in conjunction with a dynamic PET acquisition over a site of the disease (pre-selected based on the findings from a previous CT or MRI and FDG PET/CT study done for clinical purpose such as staging). Patients will be offered a second \[18F\]-FAC PET scan procedure during their SOC treatment. This second scan will be optional.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with histologically-confirmed (confirmed at MSKCC) PDAC * Patients must be ≥ 18 years old * Signed, written Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved Informed Consent Form (ICF). * Measurable or evaluable solid disease on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan per RECIST v1.1. * Karnofsky Performance Status ≥70%. * Life expectancy ≥3 months. * A negative serum pregnancy test, within 1 week of the procedure, if the patient is female of reproductive potential.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients who cannot undergo PET/CT scanning (i.e. because of weight limits, claustrophobia). * Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
