Sponsor:	Stanford University
Information provided by:	Stanford University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00185848

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether [18F]FHBG is suitable for use as an imaging probe in cancer or rheumatoid arthritis patients enrolled in gene therapy trials. In this phase 1 study we will assess the safety and biodistribution of [18F]FHBG in patients.

Condition

Estimated Enrollment:	10
Study Start Date:	April 2005
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	May 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

The success of gene therapy depends on specific targeting of the therapeutic gene that is administered to the patient. Our goal is to develop an imaging method to non-invasively monitor the location of the therapeutic gene. Imaging should help in the design of better protocols and potentially reduce side-effects of gene therapy.
