About this study

Predict and follow thanks to imaging the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast carcinoma. Hypothesis : FLT-(18F)PET will be a predictor superior to both FDG-(18F) PET and MRI

Read the detailed description

PET/CT with FDG-(18F) and FLT-(18F) and MRI are performed at the initial staging, 3 times during sequential adjuvant chemotherapy and prior to surgery, aiming to find the most efficient modality to predict the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy of the primary breast cancer and its possible lymph node metastases. Post-surgical histology and a 6 month follow-up (to detect occult metastases) will constitute the standard of truth for determination and comparison of diagnostic performances.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fluoro-L-thymidine-(18F) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 11 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 2 May 2011. 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 France. 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?

Determine and compare sensitivity and specificity of 3 different modalities for the prediction of effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (time frame: during de study). 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 2 May 2011.
