The Radiotracer 18F-FLT can non-invasively assess excessive cell growth in PET scan images. Tumour growth rate is a useful indicator of tumour aggression and response to treatment. Imaging and measuring the cell growth with 18F-FLT may be useful in monitoring response to anticancer treatment.
Clinical trial is a combined Phase I/II imaging, open label, single site study in patients with known or suspected carcinoma of the lung, breast, renal cell, pancreas or brain, and with gastrointestinal malignancies, neuroendocrine tumours, or lymphoma. One 18F-FLT PET scan will be performed in 10 Phase I patients, and pre-injection and post-imaging blood work and vital signs will be collected. Up to 5 18F-FLT PET scans will be performed in 170 Phase II patients.

Phase I: Radioactive dose of 2.59 MBq/kg (111-222 MGq)per injection. A single injection of 18F-FLT and PET scan will be permitted per patient. Phase II: Radioactive dose of 2.59 MBq/kg (100-350) MBq per injection. Up to five separate injections of 18F-FLT and PET scans will be permitted per patient

Phase I: to determine the safety of 18 F-FLT.
Time frame: 3 years
Phase II: To determine general biodistribution of 18F-FLT and correlate 18F-FLT uptake with hENT1 expression and Ki-67 scores.
Time frame: 3 years
Phase I: To determine general biodistribution of 19F-FLT
Time frame: 3 years
Phase II: to confirm safety of 18F-FLT; to determine the relative uptake of 18F-FLT (SUV, RUS, T/N); and to correlate 18F-FLT uptake with patient outcomes.
Time frame: 3 years
Phase II: to correlate 18F-FLT uptake with patient outcomes (treatment response, progression-free survival, overall survival), over the first 12 months of follow-up after completion of tx, subsequently over the remainder of the disease course
Time frame: 3 years
