About this study

This is a pilot study, single-center, prospective, open-label, to assess the acceptability and performance of the experimental medical device (SPI) used during an imaging examination (PET / CT 4D imaging in synchronized mode centered on the thorax). Each patient will be its own control, since the imaging examination will be synchronized simultaneously with the two systems: tested Medical Device (SPI) and reference Medical Device(RPM).

Being tested
PET/CT 4D imaging in a synchronized mode centered on the thorax.
Keywords
Lung Cancer, PET/CT, FDG, Respiratory synchronization
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Lung Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of the PET/CT synchronized exam with SPI device ("success" or "failure" )

    feasibility is evaluated in a composite end point (success will be obtained in case of concomitant success of the 4 sub-criteria assessment):

    1. Tolerance / acceptability of the patient to breathe into SPI throughout the examination)
    2. Detection of breath cycle of the patient by measuring dCycleSpi (dCycleSpi = Number of synchronization signals emitted by SPI / total number of breath cycle * 100).
    3. Accuracy of detection of inspiratory peak amplitudes with SPI medical device: by measuring dtSpi (dtSpi = standard deviation of the time lag between synchronization signals and maximum inspiratory amplitude for each cycle).
    4. Production of images with a correct segmentation of BTV during PET/CT synchronized exam with SPI device"

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Measure of dCycleRpm (dCycleRpmi = Number of synchronization signals emitted by RPM / total number of breath cycle * 100)

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Accuracy of detection of maximum inspiratory amplitudes with RPM medical device: evaluated by measuring dtRpm

    dtRpm = standard deviation of the time lag between synchronization signals and maximum inspiratory amplitude for each cycle

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Measure of BTVrpm (= biologic tumoral volume)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/CT 4D imaging in a synchronized mode centered on the thorax. in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Lung Nodule, run by Institut Claudius Regaud 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 10 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2026. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Feasibility of the PET/CT synchronized exam with SPI device ("success" or "failure" ) (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01720186, 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 18 Sep 2026.
