Trial summary

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis if not caught early enough. One of the factors that may impact the ability to control NSCLC is low oxygen levels (hypoxia) inside the tumour. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Study to See if a New Type of Imaging Can Help Our Understanding of the Course of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in Patients Undergoing Treatment With Radiotherapy or Chemoradiotherapy

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis if not caught early enough. One of the factors that may impact the ability to control NSCLC is low oxygen levels (hypoxia) inside the tumour. This study will use 18F-FAZA PET scans to assess whether patients have hypoxic tumours and to monitor the changes to the hypoxic areas of a tumour during currently available standard treatment. It is hypothesized that 18F-FAZA PET may predict response to treatment, local control, and/or survival in NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

Locally advanced NSCLC has a poor prognosis with a 5 year overall survival rate of only 15%. Tumour hypoxia may impact the ability to control NSCLC. Using 18F-FAZA PET, this study will assess patients for hypoxic treatment. With this information, we can start individualizing patient treatment to target hypoxia. The relationship between areas of hypoxia (18F-FAZA) and high glucose utilization (18F-FDG) will also be assessed.

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-FAZAOther

    Also called NAP

    Radioactive dose of 110-600 MBq per injection. Up to a maximum of 6 injections per patient: pre-Tx, after 4 weeks (20 fractions) of RT, then 4 weeks, 90 days and 12 months post-RT and upon logo-regional progression or recurrence.

  • 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)Other

    Also called FluGlucoScan Injection

    Radioactive dose of 100-710 MBq per injection. Up to a maximum of 6 injections per patient: pre-Tx, after 4 weeks (20 fractions) RT, then 4 weeks, 90 days, and 12 months post-RT, and upon loco-regional progression or recurrence.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the relationship between hypoxic changes and the early local tumour response after definitive radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in NSCLC

    Measured: 2.5 yrs

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To establish if a correlation exists between 18F-FAZA PET and FluGlucoScan Injection PET in determining responses to definitive treatment in NSCLC

    Measured: 2.5 yrs

  2. To assess if patterns of local failure/overall survival correlate with 18F-FAZA PET and/or FluGlucoScan Injection PET

    Measured: 7 yrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Neoplasm and Cell Hypoxia, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2014. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lai Schrader (780.432.8464, Lai.Schrader@albertahealthservices.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the relationship between hypoxic changes and the early local tumour response after definitive radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in NSCLC (time frame: 2.5 yrs). 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 Oct 2014.
