Trial summary

Neuroblastic tumors are childhood neoplasms that possess amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) activity and Meta-iodobenzylguanidine(MIBG), they can theoretically be imaged by (18)F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine ((18)F-FDOPA) and (123)I-Meta-iodobenzylguanidine((123)I-MIBG) PET, they are new and specific diagnostic and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of the 6-[18F]Fluoro-levo-dopa and 123I-MIBG Uptake in the Patients With Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastic tumors are childhood neoplasms that possess amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) activity and Meta-iodobenzylguanidine(MIBG), they can theoretically be imaged by (18)F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine ((18)F-FDOPA) and (123)I-Meta-iodobenzylguanidine((123)I-MIBG) PET, they are new and specific diagnostic and follow-up tools for neuroendocrine tumors. In this study, we explored the accuracy and clinical role of (18)F-FDOPA and (123)I-MIBG PET in neuroblastic tumors.

METHODS:

Patients with tissue-proven neuroblastic tumors receiving (18)F-FDOPA PET or (123)I-MIBG at initial diagnosis or during follow-ups were enrolled. The sensitivity and specificity of (18)F-FDOPA or (123)I-MIBG PET were compared to each other and compared to(18)F-FDG PET, using tumor histology as the standard.

What is being measured

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

  1. The maximum standardized uptake value and tumor-to-liver uptake ratio

    The maximum standardized uptake value and tumor-to-liver uptake ratio will be evaluated by specific Nuclear Medicine doctor.

    Measured: Outcome will be measured in one week after performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuroblastoma, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 14 Apr 2014. 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 Taiwan. 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?

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?

The maximum standardized uptake value and tumor-to-liver uptake ratio (time frame: Outcome will be measured in one week after performed.). 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 Apr 2014.
