Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical value of serial quantitative [F-18] FLT as a PET imaging tool in head and neck cancer patients clinically scheduled with radiation or radiation-chemotherapy combination in terms of safety and efficacy. Standard [F-18] FDG PET will be the active comparator. Read more about this study

About this study

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical value of serial quantitative [F-18] FLT as a PET imaging tool in head and neck cancer patients clinically scheduled with radiation or radiation-chemotherapy combination in terms of safety and efficacy. Standard [F-18] FDG PET will be the active comparator.

What participants receive

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

  • [F-18] FLTDrug

    10 mCi [F-18] FLT and 10 mCi [F-18] FDG will be used for PET imaging.

What is being measured

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

  1. The basic safety data of [F-18] FLT tracer will be collected. The treatment response evaluated based on the [F-18] FLT results will be compared to the response evaluated based on the standard PET trace [F-18] FDG.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing [F-18] FLT in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by University of California, Irvine 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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2018. 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.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The basic safety data of [F-18] FLT tracer will be collected. The treatment response evaluated based on the [F-18] FLT results will be compared to the response evaluated based on the standard PET trace [F-18] FDG. (time frame: 1 year). 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 20 Jul 2018.
