About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open Label, Single Center Safety Study of [F-18]FLT

This is a ten subject, phase 1 study. The purpose of the Phase 1 study is to demonstrate drug safety in a target group of subjects with high grade brain cancer. This population represents a potential clinical population that may benefit from this PET imaging tracer. The study will also begin collection of baseline imaging data and allow us to gain information to improve design and conduct of future trials.

Read the detailed description

This is a ten subject, phase 1 study. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate drug safety in a group with high grade brain tumors and to evaluate cell proliferation with F-18 FLT. FLT is known to clear out of normal brain and detect brain tumor. This population represents a potential clinical population that may benefit from this PET imaging tracer. This information will help improve the design and conduct of future F-18 FLT clinical trials.

What participants receive

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

  • F-18 FLTDrug

    Also called 18-F FLT; [F-18]FLT

    One - 10 mci dose of F-18 FLT is administered IV over about 5 seconds prior to PET imaging. Each imaging dose contains no more than 6.1 micrograms of FLT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing F-18 FLT in people with Brain Cancer, run by Siemens Molecular Imaging 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 8 inclusion and 10 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 3 Jul 2008. 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?

Safety will be demonstrated through analysis of adverse events in subjects enrolled in the trial who received study drug (time frame: 24 hr). 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 3 Jul 2008.
