Trial summary

Apoptosis or programmed cell death is disrupted in cancer cells allowing them to live longer. A number of anti-cancer agents induce apoptosis as a mechanism of drug action to get rid of cancers. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female patients >18 years of age at screening with histological or cytological diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, small cell lung cancer, breast or ovarian cancer who have been worked up clinically (see below) and due to receive standard chemotherapy treatment, but enrolled prior to the initiation of chemotherapy.
  • A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of non-childbearing potential or if she is of childbearing potential and agrees to use one of the contraception methods listed. Male subjects are eligible to participate if he also agrees to use one of the contraception methods listed.

  • WHO performance status 0, 1 or 2.

Who cannot join

  • Any medical or psychiatric diagnoses or symptoms or social situations that in the view of the investigator would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant or breast feeding females.

  • History of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
  • Inability to comply with contraceptive guidelines during the study.

About this study

Official title: A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Study to Evaluate 18FML10 as an Imaging Agent for Tumour Apoptosis

Apoptosis or programmed cell death is disrupted in cancer cells allowing them to live longer. A number of anti-cancer agents induce apoptosis as a mechanism of drug action to get rid of cancers. A biomarker that would allow apoptosis in tumours to be imaged directly would provide a powerful new tool for oncology drug development and potentially contribute to improved patient care. In this study, we propose to evaluate [18F]ML10-PET for imaging tumour apoptosis in patients receiving standard chemotherapy treatment for their cancer.

  4. serum markers

    To explore the potential role of serum markers in relation to imaging

    Measured: 2.5 years

  5. Oncology patients

    To evaluate oncology patient compliance and attitudes to imaging studies

    Measured: 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 18FML10 in people with Cancer, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The study was terminated early as the results did not support study objectives and were not as significant as expected.). 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?

Apoptosis imaging (time frame: 2.5 years). 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 12 Jan 2017.
