About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study To Assess The Utility Of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (PET) In The Pre-Operative Evaluation Of Patients With Primary And Recurrent Breast Carcinoma

RATIONALE: Imaging procedures such as positron emission tomography (PET) may improve the ability to detect the extent of breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of PET to detect the extent of breast cancer in women who have primary or recurrent breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) as compared to conventional imaging in determining the extent of disease in women with primary or recurrent breast cancer.
  • Determine how often clinical management and operative intervention plans for patients are altered based on these FDG-PET scan findings.
  • Determine whether FDG-PET results in more accurate detection of disease in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 IV. Approximately 1 hour later, patients undergo positron emission tomography imaging. Some patients may undergo a repeat scan in 4-6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: (50 with primary disease and 50 with recurrent disease) will be accrued for this study within 1-2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing positron emission tomography, radionuclide imaging and fludeoxyglucose F 18 in people with Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Dec 2015.
