About this study

Official title: Role of 11C-Methionine PET for the Prognostic and Molecular Characterization of Gliomas Candidate to Surgery.

This is a retrospective study that involves the revision of clinical, instrumental and pathologic data of an estimated cohort of maximum 145 patients with glioma treated with surgery with radical intent at our center.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective observation that involves the revision of clinical, instrumental and pathologic data of an estimated cohort of 145 patients with glioma treated with surgery with radical intent at our center.

We will review 11C-Methionine PET data acquired within 30 days prior to surgery and analyze its principal imaging characteristics with respect to IDH1 mutation status, MGMT promoter methylation and 1p/19q co-deletion. These markers will be studied on tumor tissue obtained at surgery, used for diagnostic purposes and stored in paraffin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glioma, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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 1 Oct 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

Correlation of SUVmax (Maximal Standardized Uptake Value) in patients with glioma undergoing surgery with IDH1 mutation, MGMT promoter methylation and 1p/19q co-deletion, (time frame: Baseline SUVmax up to 1 month before surgery.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02518061, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 1 Oct 2020.
