About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Dynamic PET/CT as a tool to assess disease response to anti-cancer therapy in Lung Cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Background:

Lung cancer is a devastating disease in which the response for first line therapy is only 30%. Evaluating response is performed normally by a CT or PET-CT scans after 2-3 cycles of therapy, thus, lack of response is been evaluated only after the patient has been treated following significant amount of therapy, which is inefficient in 70% of cases.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop tools that might predict response to therapy during the early course of therapy; Most valuable will be before or after the first cycle of therapy. For that reason, the investigators aim in this study to evaluate the use of Dynamic PET-CT as a tool to assess disease response to anti-cancer therapy in Lung Cancer patients.

Objectives:

  1. To assess the feasibility of baseline Dynamic PET-CT as a tool for assessing response for anti-cancer therapy in Lung Cancer patients.
  2. To predict early response to treatment as soon as after 1 cycle of therapy by dynamic and static PET-CT.
  3. To correlate Dynamic PET-CT with survival/disease free survival

Method:

200 advanced lung cancer patients will be enrolled over 3 years in a single institute, single arm study at Rabin Medical Center, Beilinson Hospital.

Patients will be evaluated by a Dynamic PET-CT protocol: before initiation of therapy, 7-14 days after the first therapy cycle, 3 months after initiation of therapy and 6 months after the first therapy cycle. In addition, non-invasive biomarkers that are routinely measured including protein markers (CEA- Carcinoembryonic Antigen, CYFRA21- Cytokeratin 19 Fragment, NSE- Neuron Specific Enolase) will be assessed in this trial.

Disease response will be evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST criteria).

Additional PET-CT will not increase radiation dose significantly. The mean estimated radiation dose for a limited CT of the chest is about 14 mSv (i.e., 7mSv for limited diagnostic CT and FDG ([18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose), each). The dynamic stage will add radiation dose of about 0.3mSv. Of note, the significance of adding radiation dose is less of importance with regard to treatment of patients with aggressive cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 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 Israel. 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?

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?

Compare baseline PET-CT with PET-CT after 7-14 days. (time frame: 12 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 18 Nov 2016.
