Safety, Biodistribution and Radiation Dosimetry of [18F]PARPi

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study drug called PARPi-FL. This drug
has been tested in animals but not yet in people. The purpose of this study is to test if a
PARPi-FL scan can be used to take pictures of head and neck cancer. The usual approach to
imaging this cancer includes several different imaging scans, including x-rays, CT (computed
tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and PET (positron emission tomography). These
tests take pictures of the cancer.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Age ≥18 years

- ECOG performance status 0 or 1

- Biopsy (histologically or cytologically) proven Squamos Cell Carcinoma

- Oral cavity, oropharynx, or nasopharynx primary site

- At least one tumor lesion on standard of care imaging with a minimum diameter of at
least 1.5 cm

- Scheduled to undergo treatment at MSKCC

- Willingness to sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- Significantly impaired organ function that may interfere with the excretion and
metabolism of the imaging agent. Specifically, patients will be excluded if they meet
the following criteria:

- Hematologic
