About this study

Official title: Evaluation of 18 Fluoro-deoxy-glucose Positrons Emission Tomography Combined With Computed Tomography (18-FDG TEP-CT ) in the Diagnosis of the Degeneration of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Tumor of the Pancreas

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the TEP-CT can be sensitive and specific in identifying degenerated intraductal papillary mucinous tumor of the pancreas.The results will be compared to those obtained by the pathological analysis of the removed piece of pancreas.

Read the detailed description

Before surgery is undertaken, a 18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose positrons emission tomography combined with computed tomography (18-FDG TEP-CT ) will be performed. The primary outcome of this study is to compare results of the TEP-CT with those obtained by the pathological analysis of the removed piece of pancreas.

What is being measured

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

  1. Specificity of TEP-CT to point out malignant lesions in pancreas, the gold standard being the anatomopathological analysis of the piece of pancreas removed during the surgery.

    TEP-CT of the different 5 parts of the pancreas (head, uncus, isthmi, body and tail) will be interpreted by nuclearity Doctors. TEP-CT will be considered positive if there is a pathological fixation of the 18-FDG , defined as any focal or diffuse fixation of 18-FDG above the background level of fixation in the pancreas.

    The anatomopathological analysis of the piece of pancreas removed during the ablative surgery will be considered as positive if the degree of dysplasia seen for each part of the pancreas is "infiltrating carcinoma".

    Results will then be compared in term of specificity.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sensitivity of TEP-CT to point out malignant lesions in pancreas, the gold standard being the anatomopathological analysis of the piece of pancreas removed during the surgery.

    TEP-CT of the different 5 parts of the pancreas (head, uncus, isthmi, body and tail) will be interpreted by nuclearity Doctors. TEP-CT will be considered positive if there is a pathological fixation of the 18-FDG , defined as any focal or diffuse fixation of 18-FDG above the background level of fixation in the pancreas.

    The anatomopathological analysis of the piece of pancreas removed during the ablative surgery will be considered as positive if the degree of dysplasia seen for each part of the pancreas is "infiltrating carcinoma".

    Results will then be compared in term of sensitivity.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Comparison of specificity of the TEP-CT to detect malignant lesions in pancreas versus specificity of conventional devices, the gold standard being the anatomopathological analysis results

    Result of conventional devices (such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic ultrasound) will be considered positive if diagnosis is "malignant lesion" or "probable malignant lesion". The 5 parts of the pancreas will be examined.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Number of patients for which metastasis will be detected through TEP-CT and confirmed by biopsy and/or conventional specific device

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose positrons emission tomography combined with computed tomography in people with Tumor, run by Nantes University Hospital at 12 sites in France.

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 8 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 18 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in France. 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?

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?

Specificity of TEP-CT to point out malignant lesions in pancreas, the gold standard being the anatomopathological analysis of the piece of pancreas removed during the surgery. (time frame: 3 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 18 May 2016.
