Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) [11C]erlotinib pharmacokinetics with and without erlotinib therapy, | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 2) comparison of venous versus arterial sampling for correcting pharmacokinetic input curves, 3) relationship between [11C]erlotinib pharmacokinetics in tumor tissue and tumor blood flow with and without erlotinib therapy, 4) assessing the correlation between uptake parameters from dynamic PET scans and static whole body scans, obtained by reconstructing the available dynamic PET data. 5) Validate IDIF against continuous arterial sampling. | — |
