About this study

Official title: Assessing Hypoxia by 18F-EF5 PET Scanning and Glycolysis by 18FFDG PET Scanning in Subjects With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography, using the drug fluorine F18-EF5 to find oxygen and fludeoxyglucose F18 to find sugar in tumor cells may help in planning treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying fluorine F18-EF5 and fludeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography in assessing hypoxia and glycolysis in patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.Detailed DescriptionOBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine whether there is an association between Akt activation and hypoxia as determine by 18F-EF5 PET scanning in patients with NSCLC.

II. To determine whether there is an association between Akt activation and increased glycolysis as determined by 18F-FDG PET imaging in patients with NSCLC.

OUTLINE: Within 6 weeks prior to surgery, patients undergo fluorine F18 (18F)-EF5 PET at 10 minutes and 90 minutes after injection of 18F-EF5. Patients also undergo fludeoxyglucose F18 (18F-FDG) PET at 1 hour and 3 hours after injection of 18FFDG.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 5 years.

Being tested
fludeoxyglucose F 18, Fluorine F 18 EF5, Positron emission tomography
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

  3. Tumor Glycolysis as assessed by 18F-FDG PET imaging

  4. Progression-free survival

  5. Overall survival

  6. Toxicity assessed by CTCAE v3.0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing fludeoxyglucose F 18, Fluorine F 18 EF5 and Positron emission tomography in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 9 inclusion and 4 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 26 Sep 2012. 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 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?

P-Akt in tumor cells as assessed by immunohistochemistry. The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Sep 2012.
