About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether F-18 FLT PET/CT is useful in early response assessment of induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia patients.

Read the detailed description

Assessment of treatment response in AML is very important to determine the next treatment. Standard treatment of AML begins with induction chemotherapy. NCCN guideline recommend to assess the treatment response via bone marrow examination approximately 7-10 days after completion of induction chemotherapy. However, the possibility of sampling error and risks of infection and bleeding are the limitation of bone marrow biopsy.

F-18 fluorodeoxythymidine (FLT) is a radiopharmaceutical for PET, reflecting the proliferation of the cell. F-18 FLT is trapped after phosphorylation by thymidine kinase1, whose expression is increased in replicating cells. There have been several studies that reported F-18 FLT PET could measure health and proliferation of the bone marrow.

The aim of this study is to evaluate if F-18 FLT PET/CT is suitable for early response assessment of induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia patients.

What participants receive

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

  • FLT PET/CTOther

    All PET/CT scans were performed using a hybrid PET/CT scanner (Gemini TF 64 with Astonish TF, Philips). F-18 FLT (2.96 MBq/kg) in 2-5 mL of normal saline was injected intravenously. One hour after FLT injection, CT began at the vertex and progressed to the upper thigh (120 kVp, 100 mA and 4 mm slice thickness). PET emission data were acquired immediately for 1 min at each bed position followed. The CT data were used for attenuation correction. Images were reconstructed using a standard ordered-subset expectation maximization algorithm with 3 iterations and 33 subsets.

What is being measured

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

  1. Value of FLT PET/CT in early response assessment of induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia

    Correlation between the FLT PET/CT findings on day 8-12 after start of treatment with the result of bone marrow biopsy which is done 4-6 wks after completion of induction chemotherapy

    Measured: 4-6 wks after completion of induction chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FLT PET/CT in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2016. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Value of FLT PET/CT in early response assessment of induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (time frame: 4-6 wks after completion of induction chemotherapy). 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 2 Feb 2016.
