About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Evaluating the Effect of Zolendronic Acid on Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) on FLT PET Scans in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

RATIONALE: A positron emission tomography scan is a procedure in which a small amount of radioactive sugar is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where tumor cells are found. This study is looking at whether the drug zoledronic acid interferes with the ability of a PET scan to find tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well positron emission tomography works when given together with zoledronic acid in finding tumor cells in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the PET response rate after zoledronic acid in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients receive 1 dose of zoledronic acid on day 1 followed by 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine/PET to determine standardized uptake value.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]FLT, Single photon emission computed tomography
Keywords
bone metastases, stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer, stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, recurrent non-small cell lung cancer
Medical subject headings
Lung Neoplasms, Neoplasm Metastasis, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]FLTOther

    Patient should receive the dose of zoledronic acid within 48 hours of the first FLT PET scan. The second FLT PET scan will be done 6-8 days after the dose of zoledronic acid.

  • Single photon emission computed tomographyProcedure or surgery

    Patient should receive the dose of zoledronic acid within 48 hours of the first FLT PET scan. The second FLT PET scan will be done 6-8 days after the dose of zoledronic acid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]FLT and Single photon emission computed tomography in people with Lung Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute 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 4 Feb 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Feb 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

PET Response Rate (time frame: FLT PET scan will be done 6-8 days after the dose of zoledronic acid). 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 4 Feb 2015.
