Trial summary

The Radiotracer 18F-FLT can non-invasively assess excessive cell growth in PET scan images. Tumour growth rate is a useful indicator of tumour aggression and response to treatment. Imaging and measuring the cell growth with 18F-FLT may be useful in monitoring response to anticancer treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Contiguous, Sequential Phase I/II Imaging Study of 18F-fluoro-3'-L-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) in Patients With Known or Suspected Carcinoma of the Lung, Breast, Renal Cell, Pancreas, or Brain, and With Gastrointestinal Malignancies, Neuroendocrine Tumours or Lymphoma

The Radiotracer 18F-FLT can non-invasively assess excessive cell growth in PET scan images. Tumour growth rate is a useful indicator of tumour aggression and response to treatment. Imaging and measuring the cell growth with 18F-FLT may be useful in monitoring response to anticancer treatment.

Read the detailed description

Clinical trial is a combined Phase I/II imaging, open label, single site study in patients with known or suspected carcinoma of the lung, breast, renal cell, pancreas or brain, and with gastrointestinal malignancies, neuroendocrine tumours, or lymphoma. One 18F-FLT PET scan will be performed in 10 Phase I patients, and pre-injection and post-imaging blood work and vital signs will be collected. Up to 5 18F-FLT PET scans will be performed in 170 Phase II patients.

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-FLTBiological

    Phase I: Radioactive dose of 2.59 MBq/kg (111-222 MGq)per injection. A single injection of 18F-FLT and PET scan will be permitted per patient.

    Phase II: Radioactive dose of 2.59 MBq/kg (100-350) MBq per injection. Up to five separate injections of 18F-FLT and PET scans will be permitted per patient

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: to determine the safety of 18 F-FLT.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Phase II: To determine general biodistribution of 18F-FLT and correlate 18F-FLT uptake with hENT1 expression and Ki-67 scores.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Phase I: To determine general biodistribution of 19F-FLT

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Phase II: to confirm safety of 18F-FLT; to determine the relative uptake of 18F-FLT (SUV, RUS, T/N); and to correlate 18F-FLT uptake with patient outcomes.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Phase II: to correlate 18F-FLT uptake with patient outcomes (treatment response, progression-free survival, overall survival), over the first 12 months of follow-up after completion of tx, subsequently over the remainder of the disease course

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 18F-FLT in people with Brain Cancer and Cancer, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2019. 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 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 combined 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Retirement of former Qualified Investigator and lack of resources to complete study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Phase I: to determine the safety of 18 F-FLT. (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 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 22 Aug 2019.
