About this study

Official title: Dynamic FDG-PET/CT Response During Chemoradiation for NSCLC

A prospective observational study to determine the prognostic value of the timing of 50% reduction in metabolic activity (T50) during CCRT for NSCLC for treatment outcome (PFS).

Read the detailed description

This is a single-centre observational study. Patients with proven locally advanced NSCLC will be treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy according to the standard clinical protocol of the NKI-AVL. During treatment, the biological behaviour of the tumour will be monitored with serial quantitative FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET/CT scans. From these images, the time during treatment where a 50% reduction in FDG uptake relative to day 1 is reached (T50) will be derived. The T50 of progression-free surviving patients will be compared with that of relapsed or deceased patients, in order to find a value that predicts early treatment failure. An additional FDG PET/CT scan at the same day as regular follow up CT scan will be made, two months after treatment, to have a baseline after treatment for follow up.

What participants receive

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

  • Low dose FDG PET/CT 5 x.Other

    Also called No treatment intervention but diagnostic intervention.

    Multiple FDG PET/CT studies will be added to the normal diagnostic procedures as a part of this study, with the number of scans depending on the study stage, to a maximum of 6 per patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. maximum FDG uptake (SUVmax)

    • A main study parameter is the maximum FDG uptake (SUVmax (maximum Standardized Uptake Value)) at the location of the primary tumour, as determined at multiple days during treatment (with a maximum of five time points per patient), expressed as T50 for response evaluation.

    Measured: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. SUVmax during the first two weeks of treatment, indicating inflammatory response.

    • Increase SUVmax during the first two weeks of treatment, indicating inflammatory response.

    Measured: First Two weeks of treatment

  2. SUVmax in the two weeks prior to treatment, indicating progression

    • Increase SUVmax between diagnostic imaging and start of treatment, indicating potential progression.

    Measured: Two weeks prior to treatment

  3. Progression free survival

    • Secondary study endpoint is progression free survival, to be associated with T50 for prognostic value.

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low dose FDG PET/CT 5 x. in people with NSCLC, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 27 Oct 2017. 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 Netherlands. 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?

maximum FDG uptake (SUVmax) (time frame: 1 Year). 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 27 Oct 2017.
