  • Have a CT scan performed (for later measurement of disease volume by the core lab) within 90 days of the administration of study drug without any interventions between CT and iobenguane I 131 imaging.
  • Arm C patients must:
  • Have a histopathological diagnosis of carcinoid, or by plasma chromogranin A (CgA) and 24-hour urine test for 5-hydroxyindole-acetic-acid (5HIAA)
  • Disease is metastatic or has recurred following surgery
  • Have a CT scan performed (for the later measurement of disease volume by the core lab) within 90 days of the administration of study drug without any interventions between CT and iobenguane I 131 imaging.
  • All patients in Arm P and Arm C must also meet each of the following inclusion criteria:
  • Provide written informed consent and are willing to comply with protocol requirements

  • Total bilirubin \> 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
  • AST/SGOT or ALT/SGPT \> 3 times the upper limit of normal
  • Has received an investigational compound and/or medical device within 30 days before admission into this study
  • Has any medical condition or other circumstances which would significantly decrease the chances of obtaining reliable data, achieving study objectives, or completing the study and/or post dose follow-up examinations
  • Is determined by the Investigator that the patient is clinically unsuitable for the study
  • Has received a medication which inhibits uptake of iobenguane I 131 within 2 weeks prior to the administration of study drug. Patients must not have taken tricyclic antidepressants or related drugs within 6 weeks prior to enrollment.
