Trial summary

Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) is a rare tumor but can grow in different areas, for example, in 60% in limbs and about 20 % in retroperitoneum; and frequently is inoperable. Despite novel therapy in advanced cases survival is still short, approximately 12 month. Read more about this study

About this study

Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) is a rare tumor but can grow in different areas, for example, in 60% in limbs and about 20 % in retroperitoneum; and frequently is inoperable. Despite novel therapy in advanced cases survival is still short, approximately 12 month.

Pazopanib oral angiogenesis inhibitor was recently shown as promising drug for advanced pretreated STS.

Functional imaging especially F18-FDG PET/CT is a good modality for FDG avid tumor either for pre- / post- treatment evaluation or follow up.

Early detection of treatment response to therapy by whole body FDG PET/CT allows for change of treatment as early as possible,when the tumor is non-responsive before serious side effects appear or before depletion of body resources.

The aim of the study is to investigate the contribution of FDG PET/CT to assessment of treatment response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of extent and intensity (standardized uptake value - SUV) of disease demonstrated on PET/CT images before and after treatment.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. determination of treatment efficiency by comparison of PET data (SUV) with CT changes (cm)in 3 studies and clinical information.

    Measured: 4 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. prediction of treatment efficiency

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS), run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 8 May 2012. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Marina Orevi, MD (marinaor@hadassah.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure of extent and intensity (standardized uptake value - SUV) of disease demonstrated on PET/CT images before and after treatment. (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2012.
