About this study

Official title: 18F-FMAU for Imaging in Cancer Patients

This clinical trial studies the safety and drug distribution of the radioactive drug, 2'-deoxy-2'-[18F]fluoro-5-methyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (fluorine F 18 d-FMAU [18F-FMAU]), for imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with advanced cancers. A PET scan is a procedure in which a small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the glucose is taken up. Because cancer cells often take up more glucose than normal cells, the pictures can be used to find cancer cells in the body. PET/CT using the drug fluorine F 18 d-FMAU, may help find cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the radiation dosimetry of 18F-FMAU in humans, confirm absence of adverse events in humans from intravenous (i.v.) injection of 18F-FMAU for PET imaging, and characterize the incidence of circulating metabolites of 18F-FMAU in humans.

II. To simply find out whether there is any visual uptake change of 18F-FMAU in tumors post-therapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive fluorine F 18 d-FMAU IV followed by PET/CT prior to start of cancer treatment. Patients may undergo 2 additional scans at one week prior to second course of chemotherapy and after completion of cancer treatment depending on cancer type.

Being tested
fluorine F 18 d-FMAU, positron emission tomography, computed tomography

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiation dosimetry of fluorine F 18 d-FMAU

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after fluorine F 18 d-FMAU PET/CT scan

  2. Adverse events after injection of fluorine F 18 d-FMAU to the patients

    Measured: Up to 24 hours after fluorine F 18 d-FMAU PET/CT scan

  3. Fluorine F 18 d-FMAU uptake change in tumors post-therapy

    Measured: Baseline up to 24 hours after fluorine F 18 d-FMAU PET/CT scan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fluorine F 18 d-FMAU, positron emission tomography and computed tomography in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by University of Southern California at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 24 May 2024. 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 United States. 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 (reason given: Drug not available). 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?

Radiation dosimetry of fluorine F 18 d-FMAU (time frame: Up to 24 hours after fluorine F 18 d-FMAU PET/CT scan). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 May 2024.
