About this study

Official title: Positron Emission Tomography Using 11C Topotecan in Predicting Response to Treatment in Patients With Brain Metastases Due to Ovarian, Small Cell Lung, or Other Cancer

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET scan) using 11C topotecan, may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying how well a PET scan using 11C topotecan predicts response to treatment in patients with brain metastases due to ovarian, small cell lung, or other cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine if tumor uptake of ^11C topotecan occurs quickly enough and at sufficient concentration to be measured immediately following infusion in patients with brain metastases secondary to ovarian cancer, small cell lung cancer, or other cancers.
  • Determine, preliminarily, if ^11C imaging has potential to be an early predictor of response to topotecan therapy in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine the whole-body biodistribution of ^11C topotecan in these patients.

OUTLINE:

  • Phase I: Patients receive ^11C topotecan IV over 10 minutes followed immediately by a 1-2 hour positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Within 4 weeks after initial imaging, patients also undergo a CT scan.
  • Phase II: Patients receive ^11C topotecan and undergo imaging as in phase I. Patients also receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 IV and, 1 hour later, undergo a PET scan.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • computed tomographyProcedure or surgery

    Within 4 weeks after initial imaging, patients also undergo a CT scan.

  • positron emission tomographyProcedure or surgery

    Phase I: IV over 10 minutes followed immediately by a 1-2 hour positron emission tomography (PET) scan.

    Phase II: fludeoxyglucose F 18 IV and, 1 hour later, undergo a PET scan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics on day of positron-emission tomography scan

    Measured: Within 1 week of PET

  2. Disease response

    Measured: after 1-2 courses of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing computed tomography, positron emission tomography and 11C topotecan in people with Lung Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2012. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Drugs unavailable:unable to make radioactive topotecan). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Pharmacokinetics on day of positron-emission tomography scan (time frame: Within 1 week of PET). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Mar 2012.
