The Use of 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT Scan to Predict the Efficacy and Adverse Events of Apatinib in Malignancies.

Summary

This is an open-label, single arm study to explore whether 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT scan can predict the efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in patients with malignancies. Integrin αvβ3 has been shown to play an important role in angiogenesis and up-regulated obviously in various types of tumor cells and activated endothelial cells. The arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) tripeptide sequence can bind to integrin αvβ3 with high affinity and specificity. The 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 will highly combine with αvβ3, and thus will monitor the antiangiogenic status.In the current study, investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility of 18F-RGD PET/CT in monitoring efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in malignancies.
