Who may be able to join

  • For subjects recruited under Amendment 01 :

  • All subjects: (enrolled under Amendments 01 and 02)
  • The subject is able and willing to comply with study procedures and a signed and dated informed consent is obtained.
  • The subject was male; or a female who was either pre-menarchal, surgically sterile (had a documented bilateral oophorectomy and/or documented hysterectomy), postmenopausal (cessation of menses for more than 1 year), non-lactating, or of childbearing potential for whom a urine pregnancy test (with the results known prior to investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration) was negative.

Who cannot join

  • The subject was previously entered into this study or had participated in any other investigational medicinal product or medical device study within 30 days of enrolment.
  • The subject had a history or suspicion of significant allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to iodide or iodinated imaging agents.
  • The subject presented with any clinically active, serious, life-threatening disease other than neuroblastoma or phaeochromocytoma, with a life expectancy of less than 30 days or where participation in the study would compromise the management of the subject or other reason that in the judgement of the investigator(s) made the subject unsuitable for participation in the study.
  • The subject had a history of renal insufficiency (serum creatinine >3.0 mg/dL [265 μmol/L]).
  • The subject used medications that are known to interfere with 123I-mIBG uptake and these medications could not be safely withheld for at least 24 hours before study procedures.

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicentre, Phase 3 Scintigraphy Study Assessing 123I-mIBG Uptake in Subjects Being Evaluated for Phaeochromocytoma or Neuroblastoma

Study groups in NCT00126412
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
123I-mIBG (Meta-iobenzylguanidine)ExperimentalAll subjects received 123I-mIBG injection over at least 1 to 2 minutes through a cannula (or indwelling catheter in the vein). After the injection of 123I-mIBG was complete, the cannula was flushed with at least 5 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution over a maximum of 10 seconds. All subjects ≥18 years of age and children with a weight of ≥70 kg were to receive an intravenous injection of 370 ±10% MBq (333 to 407 MBq [9.0 to 11 mCi] of 123I-mIBG). Doses of 123I-mIBG for children <18 years of age (with a weight of 8-70 kg) were to be calculated on the basis of a reference activity for an adult scaled to body weight according to the schedule proposed by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Paediatric Task Group; for children <8 kg, a scaled activity or a fixed minimum activity of 80 ±10% MBq (72 to 88 MBq [1.9 to 2.2 mCi]) was permissible.
Receives: Drug: 123I-mIBG (meta-iodobenzylguanidine)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. - To demonstrate that 123I-mIBG planar scintigraphy is sensitive and specific in confirming or excluding the diagnoses of neuroblastoma and phaeochromocytoma.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine the incremental value of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for improving the sensitivity and specificity of 123I-mIBG planar scintigraphy for the diagnoses of neuroblastoma and phaeochromocytoma.

  2. To collect safety data on 123I-mIBG.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 123I-mIBG (meta-iodobenzylguanidine) in people with Pheochromocytoma and Neuroblastoma, run by GE Healthcare 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?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. 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 31 May 2019. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

- To demonstrate that 123I-mIBG planar scintigraphy is sensitive and specific in confirming or excluding the diagnoses of neuroblastoma and phaeochromocytoma.. 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 31 May 2019.
