About this study

Official title: (18F)-Fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine Positron Emission Tomography and Multiparametric MRI for the Delination of Target Volumes in High-grade Glioma Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy

Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults. The primary treatment consists of maximal tumor removal followed by radiotherapy (RT) with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide. Tumor recurrence after chemoradiotherapy has previously been shown to be predominantly within or at the margin of the irradiated volume, but distant failure are not rare, especially in patients with MGMT methylation.Traditionally, RT has been planned based on on planning CT with co-registered postoperative MRI, with the addition of a clinical target volume margin of 2-3 cm to account for infiltrative odema.

To better characterize the disease, more specific physiological and/or metabolical markers of tumor cells, vascularization and hypoxia measured on multiparametric MRI as perfusion, diffusion and spectroscopy alongside with PET tracer like Fluoroéthyl-L-tyrosine ([18F]-FET) are now available and suggest that aggressive areas, like uptake of PET tracer and vascularity are present outside areas of contrast enhancement usually irradiated. These informations could be incorporated to optimize the treatment of radiotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Target volumes contoured on standard MRI and planning CT, FET-PET and multiparametric MRI images

    Increase in at least 10% of irradiation target volumes compared to the result of the MRI+scanner reference technique.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Treatment failure pattern in respect to the target volume based on standard MRI, multiparametric MRI and FET-PET.

    Irradiation target volumes associated with standard MRI

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Sites of failures with composite and standard MRI based RT planning

    Irradiation target volumes associated with standard MRI based RT planning

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Progression-free Survival

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glioblastoma Multiforme and Anaplastic Astrocytoma, run by University Hospital, Brest at 1 site in France.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ulrick SCHICK (ulrike.schick@chu-brest.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Target volumes contoured on standard MRI and planning CT, FET-PET and multiparametric MRI images (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03370926, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Dec 2017.
