Experimental: Participants with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
Participants will have histologically-confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The experimental design of this study is to perform a single [18F]-FAC PET scan prior to the administration of chemotherapy with an optional second [18F]-FAC PET scan procedure during SOC treatment to observe changes in tumor uptake and biodistribution. Patients will be offered a second [18F]-FAC PET scan procedure during their SOC treatment. This second scan will be optional.
|
Diagnostic Test: PET Scan
Participants will receive a minimum of 4 mCi (148 MBq) and up to a maximum of 10 mCi (370 MBq) of [18F]-FAC intravenously. Injection is performed in conjunction with a dynamic PET acquisition over a site of the disease (pre-selected based on the findings from a previous CT or MRI and FDG PET/CT study done for clinical purpose such as staging). Patients will be offered a second [18F]-FAC PET scan procedure during their SOC treatment. This second scan will be optional.

- Tumor drug uptake within PDAC tumors prior at pre-treatment baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]The primary objective of this study is to obtain preliminary data of tumor drug uptake profile, concentration and distribution within PDAC tumors prior at pre-treatment baseline
- changes in [18F]-FAC drug uptake during or following SOC chemo- and/or radiation therapy. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]To investigate changes in [18F]-FAC drug uptake and distribution during or following SOC chemo- and/or radiation therapy. Based on those patients who agree to undergo the second optional [18F]-FAC PET scan
