68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in Oncogenic Osteomalacia

China100 participantsStarted 2011-12

Plain-language summary

Oncogenic osteomalacia is rare disease predominantly caused by a small, somatostatin receptor positive mesenchymal tumor, which is frequently hidden in an unusual anatomical site and often goes undetected by conventional imaging. A permanent cure of the disease relies on exactly localizing the tumor and completely removing it. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT is a novel scan that might have improved sensitivity and resolution specifically for somatostatin receptor positive tumors. The investigators will scan the suspicious and confirmed patients of oncogenic osteomalacia and compare it to 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC SPECT/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT to see if it improves patient care.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * In suspicion of oncogenic osteomalacia according to the clinical features such as hyperphosphaturia, hypophosphatemia, low serum vitamin D3 levels, and osteomalacia. Or prior oncogenic osteomalacia patients in suspicion of relapse or with residual tumor * At least 18 years old * Able to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Females planning to bear a child recently or with childbearing potential * Renal function: serum creatinine \>3.0 mg/dL (270 μM/L) * Liver function: any hepatic enzyme level more than 5 times upper limit of normal. * Known severe allergy or hypersensitivity to IV radiographic contrast. * Patients not able to enter the bore of the PET/CT scanner. * Inability to lie still for the entire imaging time because of cough, pain, etc. * Inability to complete the needed examinations due to severe claustrophobia, radiation phobia, etc. * Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may significantly interfere with study compliance.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
