e16017 Background: The primary objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of obtaining combined FDG and NaF PET/CT in detecting soft-tissue and bone metastatic disease in mGU pts treated with CaboNivo+/-Ipi. Methods: Pts in this single-arm, multicenter, phase I trial had FDG PET/CT followed by NaF PET/CT within 1 hour, at baseline and 8 weeks. The number and location of metastatic lesions on FDG PET/CT and on NaF PET/CT were captured. Lesions were considered positive when there was focal abnormal radiotracer uptake with CT correlation. We analyzed soft tissue and bone lesions distribution and the concordance of baseline metastatic bone disease. Results: From 7/14/15 to 9/9/16, 27 pts (urothelial carcinoma N = 11, bladder squamous cell carcinoma N = 2, sarcomatoid renal cancer N = 1, sertoli cell N = 1, germ cell tumor N = 4, trophoblastic testicular cancer N = 1, urachal N = 4, castrate-resistant prostate cancer N = 2, prostate neuroendocrine N = 1) had scans. Median age was 55 (range 35-75 yr), 24 (89%) were male. Pts completed the dual PET/CTs on the same day (imaging time 3-4 hours) without complications. On FDG, the distribution of 340 lesions were lymph node 41%, bone 35%, lung 18%, liver 11%, soft tissue 4%, kidney 0.6%, adrenal 0.3%, spleen 0.3%, pancreas 0.3%. On NaF, the distribution of 130 lesions was spine 33%, rib 16%, pelvis 13%, femur 10%, scapula 9%, sacrum 8%, skull 5%, humerus 4%, sternum 3%, manubrium 2%, clavicle 2%. Of the 130 lesions on FDG/NaF PET/CT, 38% were not seen on initial FDG. The combination of the two tracers did not affect the quality of the PET/CTs given distinct radiotracer uptake in the anatomical locations with no distortions. Residual FDG activity on combined FDG-NaF images required background intensity to be adjusted to delineate focal radiotracer uptake. There was no difficulty in identifying metastatic lesions, and no instances of prior FDG uptake affecting the determination of metastatic disease. Conclusions: Combination FDG-NaF PET/CT is a feasible imaging modality that offers convenience to pts without compromising detection of metastatic disease in mGU pts. FDG alone detected fewer bone lesions than combined FDG-NaF PET/CT. Clinical trial information: NCT02496208.
