Clinical Trial Summary

Single centre prospective cohort phase III study of 18F-DOPA PET/CT imaging in specific patient populations:

1. Pediatric patients with congenital hyperinsulinism

2. Pediatric patients with neuroblastoma

3. Pediatric or Adult patients with suspected extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor

4. Adult patients with a clinical suspicion of Parkinson's disease

5. Pediatric or Adult patients with primary brain tumors

This study will evaluate the biodistribution and safety of 18F-DOPA produced at the Edmonton PET Centre.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Immediate safety evaluation	Clinical screen for adverse reactions to 18F-DOPA injection	Within 1 hour of injection
Secondary	Delayed safety evaluation	A telephone survey to evaluate for delayed adverse reactions to 18F-DOPA injection	10-14 days after injection
Secondary	Delayed safety evaluation - referring physician	Questionnaire for referring physician to screen for adverse reactions to 18F-DOPA injection	6 months after injection
Secondary	Biodistribution: scan interpreter will evaluate the distribution of tracer and comment if expected	Scan interpreter will evaluate the distribution of tracer and comment if expected	Within 3 days after injection
Secondary	Perceived clinical benefit	Questionnaire for referring physician to assess perceived clinical benefit of scan	6 months after injection
