  • Ability to hold their arms overhead for approximately 45 minutes;
  • Be able to fast prior to SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging, with length of fasting dependent on the time of the scan (or follow site specific fasting and/or diet restrictions):

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Phase 2 Study Comparing 99m Tc EC-DG SPECT/CT With 18F FDG PET/CT in the Evaluation of Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This is a multiple-center Phase 2 study designed to expand the patient safety and clinical information using 99m Tc-Ec-DG with Spect/CT imaging, to develop procedures and methods for evaluation of the imaging studies, to determine comparability of diagnostic information between SPECT and SPECT/CT imaging and to to compare the safety and efficacy of 99m Tc-EC-DG SPECT/CT with 18F-FDG PET/CT in imaging patients with biopsy confirmed diagnosis of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Read the detailed description

Male and female patients at least 18 years of age with untreated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer who have non-incisional biopsy definitive evidence of disease (or from cytology results from a bronchoscope procedure) 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 99m Tc-Ec-DG SPECT/CT. The study procedures can be performed within 5-7 days of signing the informed consent. [To better meet the standard of care at each clinical location, the PET/CT can be performed as part of pre-study procedures on a PET/CT camera previously qualified by the site to meet the standards required for the study. If this occurs, the SPECT/CT must be performed within 45 days of the PET/CT imaging procedures.] Patients will be seen 24 hours after the 99m Tc-Ec-DG injection for safety. 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 2 study testing Radiolabeled (99Tc) EC-DG (ethylenedicysteine-deoxyglucose) and 18 F fluorodeoxyglucose in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Cell>Point LLC at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 sites in United States, 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 99m Tc-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.
