About this study

Official title: Evaluation of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Diagnosis and Response Assessment of Patients With IgG4-Related Disease

This is an open-label study to investigate the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) in evaluation of patients with IgG4-related disease. A single dose of 18F-FDG will be intravenously injected into patients with IgG4-related disease before and after treatment.

Read the detailed description

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently defined emerging clinical entity characterized by tissue infiltration by IgG4-positive plasma cells, tissue fibrosclerosis and elevated serum IgG4 concentration. The most important feature of IgG4-RD is chronic inflammation with multiple organ involvement. However, some organ involvements are difficult to find by ultrasound, CT or MRI.

18F-FDG PET/CT is a sensitive imaging tool for inflammation. In this study, PET/CT were performed in patients with IgG4-RD both before and after glucocorticoid treatment by a single dose of 18F-FDG. Visual and semiquantitative method will be employed to assess the PET/CT images. The PET/CT image data will be used to establish a diagnostic model as well as assessment criteria for response evaluation of IgG4-RD treatments.

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-FDGDrug

    Also called 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose, 2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose, Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose

    Intravenous injection of single dose of 18F-FDG before treatment and after 4-week treatment, respectively.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
18F-FDG PET/CT scanningExperimental18F-FDG PET/CT scanning will be performed in patients with IgG4RD to determine the pictorial characteristics and measure the standardized uptake values (SUVs) of the lesions and their response to treatment.
Receives: Drug: 18F-FDG

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual analysis of organ involvement and treatment response of the IgG4-RD patients.

    Visual analysis will be performed by consensus reading by at least 3 experienced nuclear medicine physician. The 18F-FDG PET/CT pattern of IgG4-RG will be extracted and summarized. The response to anti-immune treatment will be assessed.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Semiquantitative measurement of lesion metabolism and treatment response of the IgG4-RD patients.

    The semiquantitative analysis will be performed by measuring the standardized uptake values (SUVs) of 18F-FDG by the IgG4-RD lesions and calculate the SUV changes before and after anti-immune treatment.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing 18F-FDG in people with Autoimmune Disease, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 7 Apr 2017. 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 China. 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Hua Chen, MD (86-10-69158797, chen77hua@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual analysis of organ involvement and treatment response of the IgG4-RD patients. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01665196, 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 7 Apr 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
