Trial summary

Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic tumors (GEPs) are a subset of Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) derived from the primitive gut and include digestive and bronchial NETs. Historically, the gold standard in their functional exploration is the "conventional" somatostatin receptors scintigraphy (SRS) labeled with Indium-111… Read more about this study

About this study

Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic tumors (GEPs) are a subset of Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) derived from the primitive gut and include digestive and bronchial NETs.

Historically, the gold standard in their functional exploration is the "conventional" somatostatin receptors scintigraphy (SRS) labeled with Indium-111 (Octreoscan®). This reference imaging is complementary to Tomography (CT) and liver MRI. However SRS sensitivity is moderate (60 %), because of its intrinsic detection limits, which could delay the diagnosis or lead to inappropriate therapy.

The use of somatostatin agonists (DOTATOC, DOTATATE, DOTANOC), radiolabeled with gallium-68 (68Ga) enables targeting of Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) with a PET resolution. This has improved diagnosis of TNE with a gain in sensitivity of over 20% compared to SRS. Furthermore, patient irradiation and imaging protocol are significantly reduced.

What is being measured

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

  1. interest of the realization of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT in the detection of tumor sites in TNE diagnosis, staging and restaging

    Measured: 12-15 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. therapeutic impact of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT in addition to reference imaging (SRS, CT, MRI): we will document the rate of changes in treatment options induced by PET-CT

    Measured: 12-15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET-CT in people with Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic Tumors (GEPs), run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2023. 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 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?

interest of the realization of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT in the detection of tumor sites in TNE diagnosis, staging and restaging (time frame: 12-15 months). 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 6 Apr 2023.
