Infiltration Effect on SUV
A study testing F-18 FDG PET in people with Dose Response Relationship, Drug, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
A widely used semi-quantitative parameter to assess tumor status is the standardized uptake value (SUV). SUV estimation accuracy can be impacted by many variables. Today there still exists a significant amount of variability in PET/CT results in test and re-test studies. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Study to Assess the Impact of Moderate/Significant Infiltrations on the Standardized Uptake Values of Target Lesions
A widely used semi-quantitative parameter to assess tumor status is the standardized uptake value (SUV). SUV estimation accuracy can be impacted by many variables. Today there still exists a significant amount of variability in PET/CT results in test and re-test studies. This variability can be introduced by instrumentation and subject-specific factors. Variability reduces image quality and increases the required changes in tumor quantification to reflect real tumor response or progression.
PET/CT scanning process requires that the entire net injected dose of radiolabeled tracer is administered intravenously as a bolus. The quality and quantification of a PET/CT image is highly dependent on the uptake of radiolabeled tracer. Boellaard et al. have indicated infiltrations could potentially underestimate SUV measurements by as much as 50%. Infiltrations and obstructions are not uncommon.

Recent studies using a novel QA/QC tool (LaraTM System) for the radiotracer injection process revealed that current means to detect infiltration do not completely identify all infiltrations/obstructions. Since infiltrations may not be visible in the standard field of view (FOV) and since the impact of a peripheral circulatory obstruction may not be visible even if an injection site is in the FOV, it is possible for reading and treating physicians to be unaware that a patient's image and quantification has been impacted. Additionally, when current means do detect an infiltration, they under-represent the severity because they are not capturing that infiltrations often resolve during the uptake period. As a result, infiltrations or obstructions may cause SUV inaccuracy and could adversely impact staging and tumor assessments.
The purpose of this study will be to characterize the impact of moderate or greater infiltrations on standardized uptake values. Patients experiencing a moderate or greater infiltration on a routine clinical PET scan will be invited to return for a repeat scan with injection performed by specially trained personnel to reduce the risk of repeat infiltration. The two scans will be compared to assess for changes in tumor uptake intensity.

Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03320564, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 18 Mar 2022.
