About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial of Pinverin (Pinaverium Bromide) to Reduce Bowel Uptake of FDG in a Variety of Cancer Patients Who Undergo FDG PET/CT

  1. Background
  2. PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) using FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) is widely used for evaluation of cancer patients.
  3. Bowel uptake of FDG is a serious problem that hampers the proper reading of PET/CT.
  4. There is no widely-accepted method to reduce the bowel FDG uptake.
  5. Purpose
  6. To know whether pinverin (pinaverium bromide) application during PET/CT can reduce bowel uptake of FDG.
  7. Pinverin is a calcium-channel blocker that ameliorates the bowel contraction.
  8. Pinverin may be useful to reduce bowel FDG uptake by ameliorating the bowel contraction during PET/CT acquisition.
  9. Method
  10. Intervention versus control: administration of single tablet of pinverin (50mg) perorally versus simple water (~100mL).
  11. Timing of administration: At the time of FDG injection. PET/CT images will be acquired 1hr post FDG injection.
  12. Primary outcome
  13. SUV (standardized uptake value) difference between pinverin administered patient group versus control group.
  14. SUV (standardized uptake value) is calculated as: (decay corrected radioactivity in mCi/mL) x (body weight in g) / (injected radioactivity in mCi)

What is being measured

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

  1. SUV (standardized uptake value)

    SUV is the quantitative parameter of FDG uptake during PET/CT and represents the degree of relative FDG uptake in a specific lesion.

    SUV is calculated as: (decay-corrected radioactivity in mCi/mL) x (body weight in g) / (injected radioactivity in mCi). The unit of SUV is g/mL.

    Measured: 1 hour after FDG (the radiopharmaceutical for PET/CT) injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing pinaverium bromide and water in people with Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 14 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 15 Apr 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

SUV (standardized uptake value) (time frame: 1 hour after FDG (the radiopharmaceutical for PET/CT) injection). 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 15 Apr 2016.
