About this study

Official title: PET/CTbased Radiomics for Lung Cancer (PERL): a Retrospective Multi-center Study

The investigators investigate the utility of FDG PET/CT based radiomics in lung cancer, including diagnosis and prognosis.

Read the detailed description

Recent studies have shown that, in addition to inter-tumor heterogeneity, tumors often display startling intratumoral heterogeneity in various features including histology, gene expression, genotype, and metastatic and proliferative potential, which is often associated with adverse tumor biology. Unfortunately, it is difficult to assess intratumoral heterogeneity with random sampling or biopsy as this does not represent the full extent of phenotypic or genetic variation within a tumor. Given the limitations of current biopsy strategies, there is an important potential for medical imaging, which has the ability to capture intratumoral heterogeneity in a non-invasive way.

Borrowed from the concept in genomics and/or proteomics, radiomics was specifically proposed for medical or radiological images. It is a promising technique for improving diagnosis, staging, prognosis, treatment response prediction and potentially allowing personalization of cancer treatment. It is a process of extraction and analysis of high-dimensional image features from radiological images obtained with CT, MR or PET, which could be either qualitative or quantitative. The basic assumption of radiomics is that tumor biology could be captured by radiomic features .

The purpose of this study is to investigate the utility of FDG PET/CT based radiomics in lung cancer. Four PET/CT centers will be involved in this study, in which more than 1000 patients diagnosed as lung cancer will be retrospectively enrolled.

What is being measured

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

  1. Creation of a FDG PET/CT based radiomic score for survival

    Multiple quantitative radiomic features including SUV, metabolic volume, shape and texture will be measured from FDG PET/CT images. The all subjects will be randomly separated into a training and validation data. The multiple image features will be aggregated into a single combined radiomic score for survival with an appropriate machine learning method and the training data.

    Measured: Time Frame: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Validation of a FDG PET/CT based radiomic score for survival

    The created radiomic score developed in the primary outcome will be evaluated with the validation data in terms of survival(progress-free or overall survival)

    Measured: Time Frame: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 4 Apr 2019. 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 China. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Creation of a FDG PET/CT based radiomic score for survival (time frame: Time Frame: 3 years). 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 4 Apr 2019.
