Trial summary

Fractionated radiotherapy induces an observable change in the proliferative activity as assessed by pre-treatment and early-treatment 18F-FLT PET imaging. This study is designed to investigate 18F-FLT as a PET imaging agent for predicting treatment effectiveness in several tumors and will serve as a pilot study to a… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of 18F-FLT Pet Imaging in Cancer Patients

Fractionated radiotherapy induces an observable change in the proliferative activity as assessed by pre-treatment and early-treatment 18F-FLT PET imaging. This study is designed to investigate 18F-FLT as a PET imaging agent for predicting treatment effectiveness in several tumors and will serve as a pilot study to a planned PO1 submission

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. To test whether the cellular response to fractionated radiotherapy leads to observable global change in the uptake of 18F-FLT as assessed by PET imaging

    Measured: end of study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the technical and logistic feasibility of 18F-FLT scans in a population of cancer patients

    Measured: end of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imaging with 18F-FLT PET in people with CNS Brain Metastasis and Head and Neck Cancer, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 4 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

To test whether the cellular response to fractionated radiotherapy leads to observable global change in the uptake of 18F-FLT as assessed by PET imaging (time frame: end of 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 23 Feb 2012.
