Brief Summary: RATIONALE Diagnostic procedures such as positron emission tomography PET scan using 11C topotecan may help doctors predict a patients response to treatment and help plan the best treatment
PURPOSE This phase III trial is studying how well a PET scan using 11C topotecan predicts response to treatment in patients with brain metastases due to ovarian small cell lung or other cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Primary
Determine if tumor uptake of 11C topotecan occurs quickly enough and at sufficient concentration to be measured immediately following infusion in patients with brain metastases secondary to ovarian cancer small cell lung cancer or other cancers Determine preliminarily if 11C imaging has potential to be an early predictor of response to topotecan therapy in these patients
Secondary
Determine the whole-body biodistribution of 11C topotecan in these patients
OUTLINE
Phase I Patients receive 11C topotecan IV over 10 minutes followed immediately by a 1-2 hour positron emission tomography PET scan Within 4 weeks after initial imaging patients also undergo a CT scan Phase II Patients receive 11C topotecan and undergo imaging as in phase I Patients also receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 IV and 1 hour later undergo a PET scan
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study
