Trial summary

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem. In extra-pulmonary forms, evidence of bacteriological cure is difficult to be obtained raising the need for other therapeutic assessment tools. 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) is a glucose analogue widely used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Positron Emission Tomography in Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem. In extra-pulmonary forms, evidence of bacteriological cure is difficult to be obtained raising the need for other therapeutic assessment tools. 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) is a glucose analogue widely used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Its uptake is high in cancer cells and in inflammatory cells, especially in active TB foci. The hypothesis is a decrease in the uptake of FDG in the foci of TB during treatment permitting a non-invasive monitoring of therapeutic response. The main objective is to describe the evolution under treatment of the FDG uptake in PET imaging in TB foci in patients cured from lymph node and bone TB. Secondary objectives are to compare the decrease of FDG uptake according to type of location, to define the frequency of localizations revealed by FDG-PET and their impact on therapeutic management at the beginning and the end of treatment, and to describe the evolution of PET in patients not cured.

What participants receive

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

  • Positron Emission Tomography with 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-glucoseOther

    Also called PET with 18 FDG

    2 or 3 FDG-PET scans will be performed in all patients : at inclusion*, end of treatment and 6 months after completion of treatment in cases of persistent uptake

    *except if already done in the last 15 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. ΣSUVmax variations between the beginning and end of treatment and during follow-up post-treatment, in patients considered cured

    To measure FDG uptake and evolution, the ΣSUVmax will be used. SUV ("Standard Uptake Value") is defined as tissue concentration of FDG / administered FDG dose / patient weight. ΣSUVmax is the sum of the maximum SUV measured in every TB foci. ΣSUVmax variations between the beginning and the end of treatment, and 6 months later in cases of persistent uptake at the end of treatment will be studied in patients considered cured

    Measured: 6 to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in SUVmax differences in the lesions according to their location in cured patients.

    SUV variations between the beginning and the end of treatment, and 6 months later in cases of persistent uptake at the end of treatment will be studied in the lesions according to their location in cured patients

    Measured: 6 to 18 months

  2. Variations ΣSUVmax and SUVmax in individual lesions in patients not cured.

    ΣSUVmax variations between the beginning and the end of treatment, and 6 months later in cases of persistent uptake at the end of treatment will be studied in patients not cured.

    Measured: 6 to 18 months

  3. Frequency, type and consequences on the therapeutic management of lesions revealed by FDG-PET.

    Changes in composition or treatment duration will be identified and reported to the information provided by FDG-PET during the study.

    Measured: 6 to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positron Emission Tomography with 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-glucose in people with Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis and Lymph Node Tuberculosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site 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 5 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 29 Mar 2018. 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 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?

ΣSUVmax variations between the beginning and end of treatment and during follow-up post-treatment, in patients considered cured (time frame: 6 to 18 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 29 Mar 2018.
