About this study

Official title: A Phase II/III, Open Label, Non-Randomized, Multi - Center Study Of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging With [F-18] FLT Compared to [F-18] FDG in Cancer Patients for Treatment Evaluation

Approximately 60 patients will be enrolled with highly suspected lung cancer, or head and neck cancer. The patients must also be starting radiotherapy or a chemoradiotherapy regimen (except with 5-fluorouracil). The patients will undergo 3 visits. One screening, one pre therapy PET/CT imaging visit, and one (3-5 weeks after the start of therapy) post PET/CT imaging visit. This study will evaluate the FLT and FDG images for tumor proliferation rates for early assessment of tumor response to radiation or chemo-radiation combo.

Read the detailed description

PHASE: II/III

OBJECTIVES:

Primary: To investigate the clinical value of serial quantitative [F-18] FLT positron image assessment of tumor proliferation rates for early assessment of tumor response to radiation or chemoradiotherapy regimens (except with 5-fluorouracil) in comparison to serial quantitative [F-18] FDG images

Secondary: To gain additional clinical information and experience with [F-18]FLT to guide the design of a future, pivotal, Phase III trial where changes in tumor proliferation from pre-treatment baseline values can be used as a early indicator of response to therapy regimens.

DESIGN: Open label, nonrandomized, uncontrolled, single group assignment

DURATION: Pre treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan following a clinical [F-18] FDG PET scan followed by post treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan and a post treatment, clinical [F-18] FDG PET scan at 4 weeks (±1 week) to monitor radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.

PROCEDURES: Informed consent, collection of demographic information, medical history, physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, concomitant medication collection, monitor adverse events, pre treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan and post treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan

SUBJECTS: Approximately 60 patients will be enrolled with confirmed lung cancer, or head and neck cancer. The patients must also be starting radiotherapy or a chemoradiotherapy regimen (except with 5-fluorouracil) to be eligible. This allows for approximately 40 evaluable patients to complete this study at approximately four to eight sites and conducted in the United States.

What participants receive

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

  • [F-18]FLTDrug

    Also called [F-18] FLT, FLT

    The individual doses of [F-18]FLT contain a maximum of 10 mCi. The single IP dose is administered to the study subject approximately 30 to 60 minutes prior to the start of PET imaging.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FLT PET scanExperimentalOpen label, nonrandomized, uncontrolled, single group assignment, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate [F-18] FLT as a PET imaging tool in cancer patients clinically scheduled for treatment with radiation or radiation - chemotherapy. Standard [F-18] FDG PET will be the active comparator.
Receives: Drug: [F-18]FLT

What is being measured

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

  1. [F-18]FLT PET Scan for Early Assessment of Tumor Response to Radiation or Chemoradiotherapy Compared to [F-18] FDG PET Scan

    The sponsor decided not to further develop [F-18]FLT. Therefore, no further analysis was performed.

    Measured: 3-5 weeks after the start of radiation or chemo radio therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing [F-18]FLT in people with Lung Cancer and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Siemens Molecular Imaging at 2 sites 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 8 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 27 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2013). 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?

[F-18]FLT PET Scan for Early Assessment of Tumor Response to Radiation or Chemoradiotherapy Compared to [F-18] FDG PET Scan (time frame: 3-5 weeks after the start of radiation or chemo radio therapy). 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 27 Sep 2013.
