This is a Phase 3 study evaluating the positron-emitting radiopharmaceutical 18F-mFBG as an imaging agent for confirming or excluding the presence of neuroblastoma
This is a prospective, Phase 3, multi-center, open-label study designed to assess the use of 18F-mFBG PET imaging in subjects with known or presumed neuroblastoma. Eligible participants will have either histopathologically established diagnosis of neuroblastoma or a presumed diagnosis based on signs, symptoms, physical examination, imaging findings, and laboratory and genetic test results. Subjects will only be administered 18F-mFBG if they have undergone or are scheduled to undergo a 123I-mIBG or 18F-FDG scan within 30 days of the date of the 18F-mFBG scan. Subjects should not have received any chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy between the clinical and 18F-mFBG imaging studies. 18F-mFBG PET studies and clinical 123I-mIBG scans will be evaluated off-site by 3 independent radiologists and/or nuclear medicine physicians who are blinded to all subject information. Blinded readers will record whether findings on 18F-mFBG and 123I-mIBG scans are consistent with presence of neuroblastoma (Disease +) or absence of disease (Disease -). Subject-level diagnostic performance will be assessed on the basis of positive and negative percent agreement (PPA and NPA) between the blinded 18F-mFBG scan interpretations and disease status (+ or - for neuroblastoma) as independently assessed by an Expert Panel of pediatric oncologists. Secondary efficacy analyses will compare PPA and NPA between 18F-mFBG and 123I-mIBG interpretations provided by the blinded readers.

PET Scan Identification of Neuroblastoma
Focal 18F-mFBG uptake (presence or absence) when imaging at 60 minutes with PET/CT or PET/MR, reported as positive and negative predictive agreement with expert oncologist assessment for presence of neuroblastoma
Time frame: Imaging at 60 minutes
Comparison of 18F-mFBG PET With Clinical 123I-mIBG Imaging
This objective will be assessed using the secondary endpoint of focal increased 123I-mIBG uptake (presence or absence), reported as positive and negative predictive agreement with expert oncologist assessment for presence of neuroblastoma
Time frame: Scan interpretation up to one month after intervention.
Number of subjects with adverse events graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.
Description: Assessments based on changes between pre- and post-18F-mFBG administration physical examination findings, vital signs measurements, blood test results including hematology and biochemistry, and electrocardiograms (ECGs).
Time frame: 24 hours following 18F-mFBG administration.
