This phase I trial evaluates a radioactive tracer, a type of imaging drug that is injected into the body to help see PARP-1 activity using an imaging procedure called positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (tumor that forms in the center of the adrenal gland [gland located above the kidney]). Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 is also called PARP-1, is a protein in the body that helps with many cell processes. PARP-1 has been studied for a number of years in cancer treatment as PARP inhibitor drugs. 18fluorine-fluorthanatrace ([18F]-FTT) is a specialized radioactive imaging drug used to create pictures or images of areas where doctors think tumor is from, pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, that might have PARP-1 activity. This study may help researchers learn whether test 18F-FTT can show PARP-1 activity in patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate PARP-1 activity in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma using measures of uptake of [18F]fluorthanatrace.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To correlate [18F]fluorthanatrace uptake measures with PARP-1 activity in the biopsy and/or surgical specimen 1 [125I]KX1 autoradiography activity.
II. To correlate [18F]fluorthanatrace uptake measures with known hereditary predisposition genes.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive [18F]-FFT intravenously (IV) and undergo PET/CT over 60 minutes prior to start of PARP inhibitor therapy, chemotherapy and/or ADT. Patients may also receive additional [18F]-FFT IV and undergo PET/CT 1-21 days after start of PARP inhibitor therapy, chemotherapy and/or ADT. Patients may also undergo tumor tissue sample collection on study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up 24 hours following [18F]-FTT injection.
