Trial summary

The objective of this pilot study is to determine whether 18F-FLT PET/CT can predict which patients will have poorer progression free survival and overall survival in advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) after first-line therapy and, therefore, need more aggressive treatment.

About this study

Official title: The Role of F-18 FLT PET/CT for Selecting the Patients Who Need Maintenance Treatment After First-line Chemotherapy in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancers

The objective of this pilot study is to determine whether 18F-FLT PET/CT can predict which patients will have poorer progression free survival and overall survival in advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) after first-line therapy and, therefore, need more aggressive treatment.

Read the detailed description

Standard therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC is platinum based doublet chemotherapy. Current first-line chemotherapy is usually limited to 4-6 cycles, as prolonging treatment does not result in additional benefit and may often cause further toxicity. Until recently, treatment guidelines recommended withholding administration of later-line systemic anti-cancer treatment until disease progression.

There are several reports suggesting that maintenance therapy following first-line chemotherapy offers improved survival in advance stage patients. This approach involves the administration of an active treatment immediately after first-line chemotherapy, thus maintaining the clinical benefit initially obtained. However, drug related toxicity and costs are of great concern. There may also be patients with less aggressive disease where an immediate transition to maintenance therapy after first-line results in overtreatment.

Therefore, selecting patients who require more aggressive treatment or earlier intervention is necessary.

If FLT PET/CT can discriminate the patients with shorter progression free survival and overall survival in this pilot study, patients could be selected for more aggressive or earlier treatment such as maintenance therapy, and the investigators could expect to prolong survival while reducing the adverse events and costs that will accompany inconsequential therapy with FLT PET/CT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by The Catholic University of Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 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 South Korea. 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 Woo Hee Choi, MD (82-31-249-8494, choiwoohee@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: from the date of FLT PET/CT to the date of death or last follow-up, assessed up to 1 year). 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 14 Jun 2012.
