  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥ or equal 18 years old
  • Scheduled for treatment at Memorial Hospital

  • This diagnosis may be based upon histologic confirmation of metastatic disease by biopsy of a lesion OR clear clinical evidence for metastatic disease (e.g., based on clinical findings, laboratory data and/or imaging findings in CT, MRI, or bone scan), as defined by the referring oncologist
  • Progressive disease is defined as clear progression on imaging studies (increase in size and number of lesions on bone scan, CT, or MRI) and consecutive rises in PSA as used in clinical management by the prostate cancer oncology group at MSKCC
  • FDG PET scan was obtained as part of the clinical work-up, within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. This clinical FDG PET scan should be done at MSKCC.
  • Disease can be clearly demonstrated by structural imaging (CT or MRI) or bone scan. This may include characteristic bone lesions on bone scan, CT or MRI; AND/OR measurable soft tissue/nodal lesions on CT or MRI.
  • Minimum tumor/metastasis size of 1 cm
  • Negative pregnancy test

Who cannot join

  • Patient cannot tolerate lying still for approximately 60 minute sessions in the PET tomograph.
  • Pregnancy

What participants receive

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

  • novel PET tracer FACBCProcedure or surgery

    Two IV catheters (heplock) will be placed in your forearms for injection of the dye-like material (FACBC) and blood sampling. An IV blood sample and a urine sample will be taken for testing. These samples will be used to measure the dye, FACBC, in blood and urine. You will be placed in the PET machine, where FACBC will be injected slowly over 30 seconds. Pictures of one region of your body will be taken for up to 60 minutes. Depending on your condition, your actual picture time may be shorter. You will come out of the scanner to stretch, walk around or sit in a chair. An optional urine sample and an IV blood sample will also be taken at this time. Again, these samples will be used to measure the dye, FACBC, in blood and urine. This will be followed by a picture of your body from the neck to the upper thighs. This picture will take about 30 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. To study the biodistribution and dosimetry of FACBC in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), breast cancer and prostate cancer.

    Measured: conclusion of study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare these FACBC data with PET imaging findings using the current clinical standard PET tracer FDG.

    Measured: conclusion of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing novel PET tracer FACBC in people with Breast Cancer and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 2 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 10 Apr 2017. 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 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?

To study the biodistribution and dosimetry of FACBC in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), breast cancer and prostate cancer. (time frame: conclusion 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 10 Apr 2017.
