About this trial
The goal of this research study is to develop a diagnostic tool to help with detection and diagnosis of head and neck cancer (HNC) and pancreatic cancer (PaC). This tool is called a "targeted PET tracer", or more specifically a drug named "\[Ga-68\]MTP220". The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved this drug, so researchers are conducting this research study to see if \[Ga-68\]MTP220 is safe and effective at diagnosing pancreatic cancer and head and neck cancer. FDA approval has been obtained for this study protocol by an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. Participants will receive a single injection of \[Ga-68\]MTP220 followed by PET/CT imaging at three points after they received the drug. These study procedures will take about 2.5 hours. Participants will also receive a follow-up phone call the day after receiving the drug to talk about any side effects they experienced.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Biodistribution of [Ga-68]MTP220 in patients with pancreatic cancer and head and neck cancers, as measured by standardized uptake value (SUV) mean and maximum
Radiation dosimetry of [Ga-68]MTP220, as measured by dosimetry calculations performed using site software
Secondary outcomes
Safety of [Ga-68]MTP220, as measured by number of participants who experience adverse events (AEs)
Safety of [Ga-68]MTP220, as measured by number of participants who experience a significant change in blood pressure
Changes from baseline for vital signs may be tested for differences from zero by time point using ANOVA or paired t-test
Safety of [Ga-68]MTP220, as measured by number of participants who experience a significant change in heart rate
Changes from baseline for vital signs may be tested for differences from zero by time point using ANOVA or paired t-test
Safety of [Ga-68]MTP220, as measured by number of participants who experience a significant change in respiratory rate
Changes from baseline for vital signs may be tested for differences from zero by time point using ANOVA or paired t-test
