About this study

Official title: The Diagnostic Value of FDG-PET-CT, NaF-PET-CT and Whole-body MRI Compared to Whole-body Xray in the Detection of Bone Lesions in Multiple Myeloma Patients

The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard whole-body x-ray with the advanced imaging techniques FDG-PET-CT, NaF-PET-CT and whole-body MRI in the detection of myeloma bone lesions.

Read the detailed description

Accurate detection of bone lesions in myeloma patients is essential for treatment planning and patient survival.

Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients can be enrolled in this study. All participants will at time of diagnosis undergo three project scans (FDG-PET-CT, NaF-PET-CT, whole-body MRI) as well as whole-body x-ray as part of clinical routine practice.

Experienced specialists in the field of radiology and nuclear medicine interpret the images. Each reader performs the evaluations blinded to other imaging results as well as to the patient's clinical information. The reader assesses whether myeloma indicative bone lesions are present in eight predefined skeletal body regions.

Endpoint is purely diagnostic.

Statistics:

Cochran's Q-test: to compare the proportion of patients with bone disease detected by the four scanning methods.

Two-sided ANOVA: to compare the average number of regions detected with bone disease by the four scanning methods.

Tukey's comparison test: to compare the difference between each pair of means.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone metastases detection rate - a patient-based analysis

    To compare the proportion of patients with bone disease detected by the four scanning techniques

    Measured: The three project scans will be performed once and as baseline scans within a maximum of 30 days from the performance of the whole-body x-ray. Image analyses and statistical tests will be done when all project scans have been performed

  2. Bone metastases detection rate - a region-based analysis

    To compare the number of affected regions with bone disease detected by the four scanning techniques

    Measured: The three project scans will be performed once and as baseline scans within a maximum of 30 days from the performance of the whole-body x-ray. Image analyses and statistical tests will be done when all project scans have been performed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FDG-PET-CT, NaF-PET-CT and Whole-body MRI in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Herlev Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 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 10 May 2017. 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 Denmark. 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?

Bone metastases detection rate - a patient-based analysis (time frame: The three project scans will be performed once and as baseline scans within a maximum of 30 days from the performance of the whole-body x-ray. Image analyses and statistical tests will be done when all project scans have been performed). 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.

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 May 2017.
