About this study

Official title: The Added Value of Hybrid Functional Anatomical Imaging PET-CT and SPECT-CT in Patients Treated With Yttrium-90 SIRT for Liver

Patients cohort is composed of 50 consecutive patients both male and female with hepatic malignancies, refered to our nuclear medicine department in the process of radioembolization between January 2010- August 2015. 26 of the patients were examined with Tc99-MAA and SPECT-CT and 24 patients were examined with Tc99-MAA , SPECT-CT and PET-CT. Our study protocol was as follows:

  1. Collection of anamnestic data
  2. Calculation of liver tumor volume with quantification software
  3. Evaluation of the liver tumor involvement
  4. Evaluation of liver to lung shunt
  5. Calculation dose of SIRTEX
  6. Y90 imaging
  7. Follow Up
Read the detailed description

The description of the various stages that the patient goes through SIRTex treatment in the department of nuclear medicine and their roll in the study is as following:

The first stage is dedicated to the evaluation of the patient's illegibility for the treatment.

  1. In Angiography department
  2. In Nuclear medicine department assessment of liver-lung shunting (planar images). Followed by SPECT-CT of the upper abdomen. SPECT with Low dose CT is used to identify a leak to the stomach, duodenum and mesentery, as well as to assess uptake of Tc-99m-MAA in tumor lesions. In order to increase SPECT-CT resolution and sensitivity we co-registrated SPECT-CT with diagnostic CT provided from previous contrast enhanced CT or PET-CT. In this procedure, the Low dose CT is used as bridge between diagnostic CT and the functional imaging SPECT.
  3. Calculation dose of Sirtex therapy. At this stage the purpose of the study will be to investigate the added value of SPECT-CT in the estimation of Tc-99m-MAA uptake in tumor lesions.

The second stage is dedicated to the assessment Y-90-SIRTex uptake in liver tumors and to exclude extra hepatic leak. Several hours after treatment patients perform SPECT-CT using Brummshtrullung emission or PET-CT with the peak Zr-90.

At this stage , in our study, we will compare liver lesions uptake of Tc-99m-MAA in the SPECT-CT to lesions uptake of Y-90 -SIRT SPECT/PET-CT as well as to assess if SPECT-CT withTc-99m-MAA may be used as a predictor of Y-90-SIRTex uptake in liver lesion. Does SPECT-CT with Tc-99m-MAA change patient managment.

The third stage of the study is the collection and monitoring of post treatment outcome data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual assesment of Tc-99m-MAA in liver lesions compared to visual assesment of Y-90 sirtex.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Liver Tumor, Metastatic Liver, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 May 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?

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?

Visual assesment of Tc-99m-MAA in liver lesions compared to visual assesment of Y-90 sirtex. (time frame: one 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 4 May 2016.
