About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study of Gallium-68 Citrate PET to Detect Aberrant MYC Protein Expression in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This is a single center imaging study investigating the use of PET with 68Ga-citrate in patients with DLBCL or BCLU.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center feasibility imaging study in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or B-cell Lymphoma, Unclassifiable with features between DLBCL and Burkitt's (BCLU). Study participants will undergo PET/MRI of the whole body with 68Ga citrate.

The study will include at least 5 patients with double hit lymphoma and 5 patients with DLBCL with an additional 5 more patients as expansion once the dose level has been established. Patients with DLBCL will be included once an optimal dose level for the resolution of cancer lesions has been established.

What participants receive

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

  • Gallium citrateDrug

    Also called Ga-68 citrate

    Ga-68 citrate will be administered on an outpatient basis at the Center for Molecular and Functional Imaging at China Basin. It will be administered a single time point intravenously prior to PET imaging. The one-time nominal injected dose will be up to 15 mCi containing 10 - 25 μg Ga-68. A simultaneous MRI (PET/MRI) of the head will be used for attenuation correction and anatomic localization of gallium-68 citrate uptake and standardized uptake value (SUV) calculation.

Study groups in NCT02776891
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gallium citrateExperimentalThe patients will be organized into two cohorts. Cohort 1 will receive 10 mCi and will be imaged 4 and 6 hours post injection. Cohort 2 will receive 15 millicurie (mCi) and will be imaged 4 and 6 hours post injection. Cohort 2 will be imaged if the optimal protocol identified image quality from cohort 1 does not allow for the resolution of cancer lesions.
Receives: Drug: Gallium citrate

What is being measured

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

  1. Uptake of radiotracer in tumor tissue

    To show evidence of specific uptake of the radiotracer in the tumor tissue compared to background. For exploratory radiotracer studies, this is typically defined as 1.5-2 fold increase in SUVmax in the tumor compared to mediastinal blood pool activity.

    Measured: 16 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparing Gallium citrate uptake

    To compare 68Ga-citrate (standard uptake value, metabolic tumor volume) between patients with Double Hit Lymphoma (DHL) and with diffuse B-cell lymphoma without aberrant MYC expression

    Measured: 16 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gallium citrate in people with Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse and Burkitt Lymphoma, run by University of California, San Francisco.

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 10 inclusion and 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Uptake of radiotracer in tumor tissue (time frame: 16 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 10 Oct 2019.
