Brief summary

The goal of this research is to determine if DetectnetTM PET/CT can be used to make Lutathera therapy safer for patients with neuroendocrine cancer. Participants will: * Complete two phases involving 6 visits * Undergo additional research PET/CT, and possibly SPECT/CT scans

Detailed description

The goal of this research study is to determine if DetectnetTM PET/CT scanning over several days can be used to deliver Lutathera in a safer manner. In this research, participants will be asked to complete a screening phase and possibly a dosimetry phase. The screening phase will require 2 visits. The dosimetry phase will also require 3 research visits.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare pre-therapy and post-therapy voxel-based dosimetry estimatesBaseline and 120 hours post-doseAbsorbed doses to organs will be estimated using radiation dosimetry methods based on both multi-timepoint PET and multi-timepoint SPECT imaging. Mean dose estimates in units of Gy to the index tumor(s) and dose limiting organs (kidneys and bone marrow) will be compared between PET-based dosimetry and SPECT-based dosimetry. Using SPECT-based dosimetry as the gold standard truth, Bland-Altman analysis will be performed for each organ/tumor to compare PET-based dose estimates to SPECT-based estimates. Mean bias and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.
