Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase 2 open-labeled study to compare the Ga68-Dolacga positron emission tomography with computer tomography volumetry and indocyanine green retention test for measurement of liver reserve among scheduled surgery operation patients.

Description:

This is a phase 2 open-labeled study to compare the Ga68-Dolacga positron emission tomography with computer tomography volumetry (CTV) and indocyanine green retention test (ICGR15) for measurement of liver reserve among scheduled surgery operation patients. The goal is to enroll 30 eligible subjects scheduled for surgery operation.

CTV and ICGR15 will occur within 7 days prior to the imaging visit for all eligible subjects. During the imaging visit (visit 2, Day 1), subjects will receive an iv bolus injection of 2.0±1.0 mCi Ga68-Dolacga Injection. Ga68-Dolacga PET will be kinetically performed 60 minutes immediately after iv injection.

Two follow-up visits (visit 3 at Day 7±2 and visit 4 at Day 14±2) will be conducted to confirm subject well-being and to collect information about any new adverse events (if any).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Measurement of liver reserve obtained from Ga68-Dolacga PET performed in patients scheduled surgical operation (Percentage of injection dose, %ID)	The liver reserve obtained from Ga68-Dolacga PET is expressed in "percentage of injection dose (%ID)."	visit 2 (Day 1)
Primary	Measurement of liver reserve obtained from CTV performed in patients scheduled surgical operation (Remnant volume rate (%))	The liver reserve obtained from computer tomography volumetry (CTV) is expressed in "remnant volume rate (%)."	within 7 days prior to Day 1
Primary	Measurement of future liver remnant volume rate (FLRV%)	The future liver remnant volume rate (FLRV%) is calculated by dividing the future remnant liver volume by the total functional liver volume from CTV and expressed as %.	within 7 days prior to Day 1
Primary	Measurement of future liver remnant function rate (FLRF%)	The future liver remnant function rate (FLRV%) is calculated by dividing the uptake in the future remnant liver volume by the uptake in the total liver volume from Ga68-Dolacga PET and expressed as %.	visit 2 (Day 1)
Primary	Correlation of the percentage of injection dose (%ID) in liver determined by Ga68-Dolacga PET with conventional liver function tests	The conventional liver function tests parameters include alanine aminotransferase (U/L), aspartate aminotransferase (U/L), total bilirubin (mg/dL), direct bilirubin (mg/dL), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (U/L), total protein (g/dL), albumin/globulin ratio, albumin (g/dL), prothrombin time/International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR), platelet count (×10^3/µL), ICGR15 (%), Child-Pugh classification (Class A to Class C), MELD score.	from pre-dose to Day 1
