About this study

Official title: A Pilot Feasibility Study of 99mTc EC DG SPECT/CT Imaging in the Treatment Response Evaluation in Patients With Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary information on the potential of 99m Tc-EC-DG SPECT imaging to distinguish cancer from non cancer.

Being tested
99mTc-EC-DG
Medical subject headings
Head and Neck Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • 99mTc-EC-DGDrug

    99mTc-EC-DG will be used before the SPECT/CT scans throughout the study to determine the its effectiveness. 20 mCi of 99mtc-EC-DG will be administered through a vein through a catheter. This will be done before the SPECT/CT scan at 4 weeks and 10 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing 99mTc-EC-DG in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by University of Chicago 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 11 inclusion and 5 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 8 May 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Persistent Disease within 6 months of CRT (time frame: 6 months). 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 8 May 2020.
