Study Summary

This trial seeks to find out if PET/CT scans can improve safety of a cancer treatment for neuroendocrine tumors. Participants will have 6 visits for scans.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with neuroendocrine tumors who are candidates for a treatment called Lutathera. Participants should be able to lie flat and tolerate PET/CT or SPECT/CT scans without known incompatibilities, and must be likely to follow study procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if DetectnetTM PET/CT can make Lutathera therapy safer. It involves two phases with six visits where participants undergo additional research PET/CT, and possibly SPECT/CT scans.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from lying still during scans, reactions to contrast agents used in imaging (like itching or rash), radiation exposure risks, and anxiety from being in enclosed spaces during the scan.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the use of Lutathera been officially endorsed by the FDA?

"The safety of patients receiving Lutathera is calculated to be a 1 due to the limited data available from this Phase 1 trial. Thus far, efficacy and safety have not been fully established."
