Trial summary

Tumors are characterized by a great heterogeneity. Characterizing this intra-tumor heterogeneity is a major challenge in oncology to improve the therapeutic management and move towards personalized medicine adapted to each patient. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Value of 18FDG PET/CT Textural Indices in Patients With an Adrenal Lesion

Tumors are characterized by a great heterogeneity. Characterizing this intra-tumor heterogeneity is a major challenge in oncology to improve the therapeutic management and move towards personalized medicine adapted to each patient. However, intra-tumor heterogeneity remains rarely used for diagnostic purposes The discovery of an adrenal mass can occur in different circumstances. Detection of an adrenal mass can be done in a context of secreting syndrome, in the assessment of an extra-adrenal neoplasia or fortuitously when performing an imaging for another reason. The etiologies are numerous (cortical tumors, medullary tumors, metastatic lesion of a extra-adrenal neoplasia, others). The adrenal masses can be divided into two categories, depending on whether they are hyperfunctional or not. In patients without an oncological history, an adrenal mass discovered is most often a benign adenoma, but requires an endocrine assessment. In patients with known primary cancer, approximately 30% of the adrenal masses are malignant.

In all cases, the diagnostic procedure includes an imaging assessment to characterize the lesion and an endocrine assessment. CT scan performed without and after intravenous iodinated contrast agent injection is the first-line examination to assess an adrenal mass.

18F-FDG-PET may be indicated as second-line for characterizing an adrenal mass. Adrenal tumor SUVmax (Standard Uptake Value) and adrenal tumor SUVmax / liver SUVmax ratio are routinely used to determine the malignancy of a lesion. Although very useful for assessing the glucose metabolism of a given lesion, these parameters do not allow assessing the heterogeneity of tumor uptake. The texture analysis corresponds to an analysis of the spatial distribution of FDG uptake, and allows, by the calculation of many indices, an evaluation of the heterogeneity of the tumors.

The hypothesis of our study is that the texture parameters could have an additional diagnostic value to improve the performance of conventional quantitative parameters to determine the malignancy of a lesion.

The objective of this study is to investigate the diagnostic value of texture indices in a large cohort of patients presenting an adrenal lesion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adrenal Tumor, 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 4 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 30 Jul 2018. 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?

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?

Diagnostic performance of FDG PET/CT textural indices (time frame: 6 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 30 Jul 2018.
