Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate high and low areas of growth, or proliferation, within the tumor. An imaging technique using a very small amount of a radioactive tracer called 18Ffluoro-deoxy-L-thymidine (18F-FLT) can detect areas of rapid growth within the tumor. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate high and low areas of growth, or proliferation, within the tumor. An imaging technique using a very small amount of a radioactive tracer called 18Ffluoro-deoxy-L-thymidine (18F-FLT) can detect areas of rapid growth within the tumor. This imaging technique is called a FLT PET imaging. This present study involves obtaining one scan using FLT PET imaging. The goal of this study is to investigate associations between the imaging findings showing differences in growth rate within the tumor and the biology of the tumor that is measured in the sampled tumor tissue. This information may be used in future brain tumor patients to determine the best combination of treatment for individual patients. These studies may also improve our understanding of the types of changes taking place in brain tumor tissue that could improve individual patient outcome. FLT is produced for human use by the MSKCC cyclotron facility under an investigational new drug (IND) approval issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that FLT is produced under strict rules and regulations, is considered safe, and has been approved for use in humans for certain disease conditions. 18F-FLT has been used in several research studies to date at this institution.

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-FLT PET ScanDrug

    Also called As part of the standard surgical care for brain cancer, the patient will undergo, biopsy of the tumor. A few small tissue samples will be collected from different, sites within the tumor and used for examining the biology of the tumor tissue., Associations will be made between the 18F-FLT imaging findings at these biopsy

    The patient will undergo MRI and 18F-FLT PET scans of the brain. A IV catheter will be placed in a superficial hand or arm vein for administration of 18F-FLT (approximately 370 MBq), prepared by the MSKCC Radiochemistry Core Facility. A second venous catheter will be placed in the opposite hand or arm for venous blood sampling. If a central venous catheter is present, it will be used for blood sampling or radiopharmaceutical administration, and only a single venous catheter will be placed. Sequential blood samples may be obtained following 18F-FLT infusion for assaying whole blood and plasma radioactivity. All catheters will be removed at the end of the day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Invest Relation Btw Voxel-based Determ of Prolif Rate & Obser MR Imaging Featu (i.e., Ktrans or Microvas Permeabil; fBV, Tiss Fract Blood Vol), as Well With Spatially Reg Histolog Meas of Tum Cell Prolif (Ki67) & Microvas Density (CD31) at Corres Locat.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Attempt to Corroborate Voxel-based Parameter Estimates Reflecting Tumor Cell Proliferation With Estimates Derived Using Standard ROI-based Pharmaco Modeling Methods, for Improving the Characterization of High-grade Gliomas Using Dynamic 18F-FLT PET-CT.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Assess Whether Static Meas of 18F-FLT Uptake Can Ade Serve as Non-invasive Biomarker of Prolif Act or Whether Parametric Images, Based on Compart Analys of FLT Pharmas, Are Req by Correl Find of Both Appro With Region Histol Assays of Tum Cell Prolife.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Evaluate Whether Differ in Gene Expression Seen Between Areas of Increas & Decreas Proliferative Activity on Parametric Maps Define Consistent Differential Transcriptome Signatures for Comparison With Known Molecular Subclasses of GBM & Known Pathways.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 18F-FLT PET Scan in people with Brain Cancer and Glioma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 17 Dec 2020. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Dec 2020). 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?

Invest Relation Btw Voxel-based Determ of Prolif Rate & Obser MR Imaging Featu (i.e., Ktrans or Microvas Permeabil; fBV, Tiss Fract Blood Vol), as Well With Spatially Reg Histolog Meas of Tum Cell Prolif (Ki67) & Microvas Density (CD31) at Corres Locat. (time frame: 2 years). 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 17 Dec 2020.
