Summary

The goals of the NEUROBLASTOTEP trial is to compare the diagnostics performance of a the 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography scan (PET/CT) compared to 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG scintigraphy (current gold standard) for imaging in neuroblastoma.

Detailed description

Neuroblastoma is one of the most common malignancies of childhood: 130 to 150 new cases are recorded each year in France. Currently, 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy (123I-MIBG scan) is considered as a gold standard in neuroblastoma for assessing metastatic extension, as well as planning and evaluating response to treatment or detecting relapse. Regretfully, 123I-MIBG scintigraphy implies many disadvantages for our patients, mainly the length of the procedure (planned on two consecutive days), length of the imaging (45-90 minutes) and the required premedication for thyroid protection. 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) is a new specific Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracer providing a specific Norepinephrine transporter (NET) expressing imaging with fluor-18, a routinely available radionuclide that offers higher resolution for lesion detection and shorter acquisitions for pediatric patients, and potentially lower radiation exposure. The NEUROBLASTOTEP trial aims at demonstrating that 18F-MFBG PET/CT diagnostic performances are at least as good as 123I-MIBG scintigraphy (current gold standard imaging radiotracer in neuroblastoma).
