Administration Dosage 142 MBq
Evaluation Method PET/CT
MOA of PDC
Somatostatin analogues radiolabeled with the radioisotope 68Ga, e.g. [68Ga]Ga-DOTATATE and [68Ga]Ga-DOTATOC, are currently the predominately used tracers for PET imaging of patients with NEN. However, the 64Cu-labeled SSR targeting somatostatin analogue [64Cu]Cu-DOTATATE is emerging as an alternative to 68Ga-labeled radiotracers. Although 64Cu has a lower branching ratio for + decay than 68Ga (18% vs 89%), 64Cu has the advantage of a longer half-life (12.7 h vs 68 min) and shorter positron range (0.7 mm vs 3.5 mm) where the latter at least in theory should lead to better spatial resolution. The effective whole-body dose is 6.3 mSv for a 200 MBq injection of [64Cu]Cu-DOTATATE or 4.7 mSv for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended dose of 148 MBq.

Description
The median [64Cu]Cu-DOTATATE activity dose could be reduced from 191 to 142 MBq without decline in diagnostic image quality (P = 0.62), diagnostic lesion confidence (P = 1.0), or number of lesions detected in major organs or regions (P = 0.19-0.71). Sensitivity and specificity for detection of liver disease were 100% (26/26 patients) and 100% (12/12), respectively, for both PET75% and PET50%. Overall sensitivity for detection of NEN was 100% (26/26) for both PET75% and PET50%, and overall specificities were 92% (11/12) and 100% (12/12) for PET75 and PET50, respectively. Following dose-blinded post hoc review, the PET75% specificity was adjusted to 100% (12/12).
