This pilot clinical trial studies how well gallium (Ga)68 Pentixafor positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in diagnosing patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68 Pentixafor PET/CT, may help find and diagnose neuroendocrine tumors.
Additional locations may be listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT03335670.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Investigate the biodistribution of gallium Ga 68 Pentixafor (68Ga Pentixafor) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET).
II. Investigate the repeatability of 68Ga Pentixafor uptake in NET lesions.
SECONDAY OBJECTIVES:
I. Compare the uptake of 68Ga Pentixafor and 68Ga tetraxetan (DOTA)Tyr3-octreotate (TATE) in NET lesions.
II. Correlate the in vivo uptake of 68Ga Pentixafor and 68Ga DOTATATE in neuro-endocrine tumors (NET) with tissue expression of CXCR4 and SSTR2 using immunohistochemistry.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive gallium Ga 68 Pentixafor intravenously (IV) over 1 minute and undergo PET/CT scan over 120-150 minutes. Within at least 12 hours and no more than 10 days, patients undergo a second 68Ga Pentixafor PET/CT scan.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at more than 24 hours but within 3 days.
