  • Undergoing any current treatment for cancer (radiation therapy, surgery or chemotherapy)
  • Diabetic with insulin dependence (Patients who have a known insulin dependence for diabetes can be included in the study if the standard of care protocol in place at the clinical site provides for the management of the patient's glucose level sufficiently to allow the PET/CT imaging to be performed. The same glucose management used for the PET/CT imaging should be applied to the SPECT/CT imaging procedures. A waiver will be required to be completed by the clinical site and approved by the sponsor or designee);
  • Patient weight above the SPECT/CT and PET/CT table weight limit;

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Phase 1b Pharmacokinetic and Radiation Dosimetry Study Evaluating 99mTc-EC-DG SPECT/CT in Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This is a multi-center Phase 1 b study designed to expand the patient safety using 99mTc-EC-DG with SPECT/CT imaging and to expand the patient radiation dosimetry and pharmacokinetic database using 99mTc-EC-DG in patients who have non-incisional biopsy definitive evidence of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer as compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.

Read the detailed description

Male and female patients at least 18 years old with untreated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer who have non-incisional biopsy definitive evidence of disease (or cytology results from a bronchoscope procedure confirming NSCLC) and who have been previously certified (per Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requirements)by their physicians will be consented for the study. The study consists of a screening visit, gold-standard 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging followed by the investigational agent 99mTc-EC-DG with SPECT/CT(if the PET/CT was performed as part of the pre-study activities on a qualified PET camera for this study, the SPECT/CT must be done within 45 days of the PET/CT imaging procedures). The study procedures can be performed within 5-7 days of signing the informed consent. During the 99mTc-EC-DG SPECT/CT visit of the study, pharmacokinetic (PK) blood draws and urine collection will be taken and radiation dosimetry (Planar Imaging) will be performed at specified time points post 99mTc-EC-DG injection. Patients will be seen 24 hours after the 99mTc-EC-DG injection for safety and final PK blood and urine collection. A 21-day follow-up period (after the SPECT/CT image) will allow the investigator to acquire additional imaging, surgical, pathology and treatment documentation (an actual patient visit is not required at the 21 day follow-up time point).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Radiolabeled (99Tc) EC-DG (ethylenedicysteine-deoxyglucose), Technetium 99m ethylenedicysteine-deoxyglucose and 18 F fluorodeoxyglucose in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Cell>Point LLC at 3 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 31 inclusion and 11 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 22 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Safety: through adverse event collection (time frame: from 99mTc-EC-DG injection through 21 days). 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 22 Mar 2013.
