Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize tumour uptake of somatostatin analog 68Ga-DOTATOC in patients with either primary or recurrent malignant glioma. The investigators hypothesis is that some primary and recurrent malignant gliomas overexpress SST2 receptor which can be imaged with 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PET/CT Imaging of Malignant Glioma With Somatostatin Analog 68Ga-DOTATOC

The purpose of this study is to characterize tumour uptake of somatostatin analog 68Ga-DOTATOC in patients with either primary or recurrent malignant glioma. The investigators hypothesis is that some primary and recurrent malignant gliomas overexpress SST2 receptor which can be imaged with 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT. The investigators also hypothesize that tumor uptake of 68Ga-DOTATOC correlates with immunohistochemically determined SST2 receptor status of the tumor specimen.

What participants receive

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

  • [68Ga]DOTATOCDrug

    120MBq 68Ga-DOTATOC intravenously and PET/CT imaging. Performed once to a patient before the surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Malignant glioma uptake of 68Ga-DOTATOC

    PET/CT imaging of the brain starts immediately after the intravenous bolus injection of 68Ga-DOTATOC. Dynamic PET/CT imaging is done over 60-min. A late 90-min scan will be obtained for selected patients. PET studies are analyzed by determining the Standardized Uptake Values (SUV) of the tumor using regions of interest (ROI) drawn both manually and automatically on the tumor.

    Measured: within 90 minutes post-injection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunohistochemical SST2 receptor status of the tumor specimen

    Measured: After glioma surgery within 4 weeks of PET/CT imaging

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing [68Ga]DOTATOC in people with Glioma, run by Turku University Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 3 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 12 Dec 2013. 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 Finland. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Malignant glioma uptake of 68Ga-DOTATOC (time frame: within 90 minutes post-injection). 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 NCT01460706, 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 12 Dec 2013.
