About this study

Official title: Role of 18FDG PET in the Evaluation of Early Response to Maintenance Treatment With Bevacizumab or Pemetrexed in Advanced Non-small-cell Lung Cancer

Non small cell lung cancer is the first cause of cancer related death in France and is becoming an increasing health problem in developing countries.

Recently for patient with no progression disease after first line chemotherapy, new therapies were validated in maintenance (bevacizumab) or switch maintenance treatment (erlotinib, pemetrexed) with improved survival.

Until now, determination of efficiency of treatment is only based on morphological response (RECIST) and remains inappropriate to such cytostatic drugs for which there is no anatomical lesion modification.

Nuclear Medicine and especially 18-FDG Positron Emission Tomography (PET) offers a biologically relevant tool for assessment of tumour response therapies.

The assumption of the study is that FDG PET would allow to earlier detect a lack of response, thereafter, to modify an ineffective treatment. Indeed, nowadays the treatment is maintained up to evidence of progression disease.

However, despite the increasing use of FDG PET for predicting therapeutic response, there are no validated criteria for judging response of maintenance therapy in non-small cell lung cancer.

It seems necessary to determine standardized criteria response, earlier during the course of maintenance therapy in patient with non small cell lung cancer.

The final aim is to optimize survival by an adapted metabolic imaging guided therapy.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the study is to optimize survival by an adapted metabolic imaging therapy in patients with advances non-small cell lung cancer.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the role of SUV and metabolic volume measured by FDG PETScan in the early prediction of treatment response.

80 patients will be included in 2 years. They will be follow up for one year for monitoring the progression free survival.

What participants receive

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

  • PET scan imagingProcedure or surgery

    a PET scan will be done 2 weeks before the start of maintenance therapy and another 16 days after to predict the earlier response to treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. progression free survival

    time between the start of maintenance therapy and progression

    Measured: 16 weeks after the start of maintenance therapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. progression free survival

    time between the start of maintenance therapy and progression or death

    Measured: on year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PET scan imaging in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Centre Henri Becquerel at 5 sites 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 23 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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?

Contact Stéphanie Becker, MD (+33232082258, stephanie.becker@chb.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression free survival (time frame: 16 weeks after the start of maintenance therapy). 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 23 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
