What is being measured

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

  1. Staging ability of 18F-FSPG PET/CT

    Sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy of 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG PET/CT will be compared according to patient-based and lesion-based analysis using paired t-test or Krusal-Wallis test.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Ability of 18F-FSPG PET/CT in therapy response evaluation and prognosis prediction

    Comparison between 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG PET/CT will be done using both qualitative and quantitative measures

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Uptake of 18F-FSPG

    Standardised uptake values (SUV) will be compared between 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Safety of 18F-FSPG PET/CT

    Number of reported adverse events

    Measured: 3 years

What does the primary outcome measure?

Staging ability of 18F-FSPG PET/CT (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
