About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study of the Role of 18F-FSPG PET/CT Imaging for Cancer Patients Receiving Therapy

The goal of this phase 2 study trial is to evaluate the utility of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG used before and after treatment to diagnose, predict, and evaluate response to therapy in patients with a wide variety of metastatic cancers.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE:

Patients are evaluated with a PET/CT scan using the radiolabel 18F-FSPG [18F-(S)-4-(3-fluoropropyl)-L-glutamic acid] or 18F-FDG ([18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose), before and after therapeutic treatment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Uptake of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG in patients with biopsy-proven cancer will be evaluated and compared to the uptake of 18F-FDG, before and after therapy (non-specified) in the same group of patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the agreement of the clinical assessment for cancer status between 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG.
  • Safety and tolerability of 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG.
Being tested
18F-FSPG, 18F-FDG
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Standard Uptake Value Maximum (SUVmax) Post-treatment

    Standard Uptake Values (SUVs) for the radiotracers labels 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG were assessed in tumor tissues of study participants, before (baseline), and after therapeutic treatment. Time frame was specified by protocol as at baseline, and at the time of clinical assessments during individual patient regular medical care. The time of the post-treatment assessment was not otherwise explicitly defined but could be anytime within 2 years. The outcome is reported as the difference of means from baseline to post-treatment (a number without dispersion), for all lesions for which an SUVmax value was assessed. A negative result indicates less uptake of radiotracer suggesting a small volume of tumor.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Treatment-Related Adverse Events

    Safety and tolerability of 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG were assessed as treatment-related adverse events, and reported as the number of events related to each treatment, without dispersion.

    Measured: Baseline to up to 2 years

  2. Change From Baseline in Lesion Size Post-treatment, by 18F-FSPG or 18F-FDGs

    Lesion size in centimeters (cm) were assessed in 2 dimensions from the computed tomography (CT) component of PET/CT and the area in cm2 calculated for lesion locations at baseline and after treatment. Time frame was specified by protocol as at baseline, and at the time of clinical assessments during individual patient regular medical care. The time of the post-treatment assessment was not otherwise explicitly defined but could be anytime within 2 years. The outcome is reported the difference in area in cm² for each lesion (a number without dispersion).

    Measured: Baseline and up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG in people with B-Cell Neoplasm and Estrogen Receptor Negative, run by Andrei Iagaru at 1 site in United States.

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 14 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 3 Jan 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Standard Uptake Value Maximum (SUVmax) Post-treatment (time frame: Baseline and up to 2 years). 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 NCT02599194, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jan 2019.
