About this study

Official title: PET-MR Fusion Imaging and Surrogate Marker for Prediction and Monitoring of Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients

The purpose of this study is:

To validate the efficacy of multiparametric MRI, FDG-PET, RGD-PET, and PET-MR fusion imaging in the prediction and monitoring response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy of locally advanced breast cancer patients.

Read more

To identify the optimal combination parameters of MR spectroscopy, diffusion-weighted MRI, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, FDG-PET, and RGD-PET in the prediction and monitoring response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy of locally advanced breast cancer patients.

To compare the performances of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI using parametric response map analysis versus those of pharmacokinetic parameters (Ktrans, kep, or Ve) in the early prediction of pathological responsiveness to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients

Read the detailed description

Enrolled women with breast cancers who had received an anthracycline-taxane regimen and subsequent surgery were prospectively enrolled. DCE-MRI and FDG-PET scan were performed before and after the 1st cycle of chemotherapy. MR imaging parameters and SUV on PET scan within a tumor were analyzed. Clinicopathologic (age, clinical tumor stage, hormonal receptor status, and surgery type) and imaging parameters were compared according to the pathological response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patholocial Response to Chemotherapy

    Pathological complete response (pCR) or non-pCR

    Measured: Post-operation

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Tumor Size

    Maximal tumor diameter measured on magnetic resonance imaging

    Measured: baseline, completion of 1st cycle of chemotherapy

  2. Tumor Volume

    Tumor volume measured on 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging

    Measured: Baseline, post-1st chemotherapy

  3. Proportions of Voxels Within a Tumor With Increased or Decreased Signal Intensity (Parametric Response Map Signal Intensity; PRMSI)

    Parametric response map analysis using a software calculates the interval change of signal intensity based on a voxel-to-voxel comparison between measurements at baseline and after the first cycle of chemotherapy. PRMSI+ indicates proportions of voxels within a tumor with increased signal intensity. PRMSI- indicates proportions of voxels within a tumor with decreased signal intensity. PRMSI0 indicates proportions of voxels within a tumor with unchanged signal intensity.

    Measured: Baseline, post-1st chemotherapy

  4. Constant for the Transfer of the Contrast Agent From the Plasma Compartment Into the Extracellular Extravascular Space (Ktrans)

    Measured: Baseline, post-1st chemotherapy

  5. Rate Constant of the Escape of the Contrast Agent From the Extracellular Extravascular Space Into the Plasma Compartment (Kep)

    Measured: Baseline, post-1st chemotherapy

  6. Extracellular Extravascular Space Per Unit Volume of Tissue (Ve)

    Measured: Baseline, post-1st chemotherapy

  7. Total Choline Amount of the Tumor Measured on Single Voxel 1H-magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

    Single voxel 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy quantifies the amount of total choline-containing compounds of a tumor, which indicates cellular proliferation and malignant transformation.

    Measured: Baseline, post-1st chemotherapy

  8. Standardized Uptake Value on 18F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose Positron Emission Tomography

    Measured: Baseline, post-1st chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2015. 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 South Korea. 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 7 Jul 2015). 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?

Patholocial Response to Chemotherapy (time frame: Post-operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01190566, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Jul 2015.
