About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter Study, to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of [18F]-ML-10, a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging Radiotracer, in Early Detection of Response of Non-Hematological Tumors to Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether [18F]-ML-10 used in conjunction with PET imaging is effective as an imaging tool for the early detection of response of oncological tumors in the lungs,head and neck to chemoradiation therapy.

The study will evaluate the potential of [18F]-ML-10 used in conjunction with PET imaging to distinguish early during the course of chemoradiation therapy between a tumor that responds to the therapy, and a tumor that does not respond to the therapy. Currently, this distinction is available to the physician several weeks or months after completion of therapy, using anatomical imaging (for example Computed Tomography [CT] or Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI]).

What participants receive

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

  • [18F]-ML-10 in conjunction with PET imagingOther

    Subjects will receive two to three intravenous (IV) doses of [18F]-ML-10. The dose for each [18F]-ML-10 dose will be 5.50 MBq/Kg or 0.15 mCi/Kg but will not exceed 500.00 MBq (13.50 mCi) per administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. To characterize changes in [18F]-ML-10 uptake in the target lesion in response to chemoradiotherapy.

    Measured: Between baseline and day 11 ± 1, and between baseline and day 18 ± 1

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To assess the correlation between the changes in the uptake of [18F]-ML-10 in the target lesion and the changes in the anatomical dimensions of the target lesion.

    To assess the correlation between the changes in the uptake of [18F]-ML-10 in the target lesion following an accumulative radiation dose of 14.4-20.0 Gy, and the changes in the anatomical dimensions of the target lesion, as assessed by the follow-up anatomical imaging by CT, performed after completion of the concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT).

  2. To identify at least one parameter, derived from the changes in [18F]-ML-10 uptake that can discriminate tumors responsive to treatment from tumors that are non-responsive.

    For this parameter, various cut-off values of change will be evaluated, with corresponding estimates of sensitivity and specificity.

  3. To perform additional analyses for all other lesions and lymph nodes with at least one diameter ≥ 2 cm treated by concurrent CRT.

  4. To assess the safety of [18F]-ML-10 administered to cancer patients receiving concurrent CRT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing [18F]-ML-10 in conjunction with PET imaging in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and Head and Neck Neoplasms, run by Aposense Ltd. at 4 sites 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 25 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To characterize changes in [18F]-ML-10 uptake in the target lesion in response to chemoradiotherapy. (time frame: Between baseline and day 11 ± 1, and between baseline and day 18 ± 1). 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 2010.
