Molecular Imaging of Lymphoma Using Labeled Technetium-99m 1-Thio-D-Glucose

SPECT Imaging of Lymphoma Using Technetium-99m Labeled 1-Thio-D-Glucose (99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose)

The study should evaluate the biological distribution of 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose in patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non Hodgkin Lymphoma.

The primary objective are:

1. To assess the distribution of 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose in normal tissues and tumors at different time intervals.
2. To evaluate dosimetry of 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose.
3. To study the safety and tolerability of the drug 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose after a single injection in a diagnostic dosage.

The secondary objective are:

1. To compare the obtained 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose SPECT imaging results with the data of CT imaging and/or 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) and immunohistochemical (IHC) studies in Lymphoma patients.

The overall goal is to study the effectiveness of SPECT imaging Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Using technetium-99m labeled 1-thio-D-glucose.

Phase I of the study:

Biodistribution of 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose in patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non Hodgkin Lymphoma.

The main objectives of the study:

1. To evaluate the distribution of 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose in normal tissues and tumors in patients with Lymphoma at different time intervals.
2. To evaluate dosimetry of 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose based on the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug after a single intravenous administration.
3. To study the safety of use and tolerability of the drug 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose after a single intravenous administration in a diagnostic dosage.

Additional research tasks:

1. To conduct a comparative analysis of the diagnostic information obtained in the visualization of Lymphoma by SPECT using 99mTc-1-thio-D-glucose with data obtained by CT and/or positron emission tomography (PET) and immunohistochemical (IHC) research of postoperative material.
