Summary

This pilot phase II study is designed as a test and retest study to investigate [F 18]HX4 as a reliable non-invasive PET imaging marker for detection of tumor hypoxia regions and to establish a threshold for [F 18]HX4 uptake in the tumor. The study will evaluate the relationship between hypoxia biomarkers (HIF1α and CA-IX) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and tumor uptake of [F 18]HX4 by PET imaging.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patient is >18 years and male or female of any race / ethnicity
  • Patient or patient's legally acceptable representative provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol procedures
  • Patient must have histopathologically confirmed head/neck, lung, liver, rectal or cervical cancer with tumor size ≥ 3cm
  • Patient has tumor tissue samples available before treatment for future immunohistochemistry biomarker tests (HIF1alpha and CA-IX)
  • Patient is scheduled to have or already had a clinical [F 18]FDG PET/CT scan recommended to be within 14 days of the first pre-treatment [F 18]HX4 PET/CT scan and have no treatment intervention in between these two scans
  • Patient is scheduled or is intended to be scheduled to receive chemotherapy, radiation or chemoradiotherapy treatment(s) after the pre-treatment [F 18]HX4 PET/CT and [F 18]FDG PET/CT scans for his/her cancer care
  • Patient must have hepatic and renal functions as defined by laboratory results within the following ranges:
  • Total bilirubin within 2 times institutional upper limit of normal
  • AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 times institutional upper limits of normal
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 2.5 times institutional limit of normal
  • BUN within 2 times institutional upper limit of normal

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patient is not capable of complying with study procedures
  • Female patient is pregnant or nursing

o Exclude the possibility of pregnancy by one of the following:

  • Confirming in medical history that the patient is post-menopausal for a minimum of one year, or surgically sterile
  • Confirming the patient is using one of the following methods of birth control for a minimum of one month prior to entry into this study: IUD, oral contraceptives, Depo-Provera, or Norplant
  • Confirming a negative urine dipstick test taken the morning of but before receiving [F 18]HX4
  • Patient has been involved in an investigative, radioactive research procedure within 7 days and during the study participation period
  • Patient has any other condition or personal circumstance that, in the judgment of the investigator, might interfere with the collection of complete data
