About this study

Official title: The Predictive Value of Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance (PET-MR) Mediated Dopamine D2 Receptors Imaging in the Drug Therapy of of Prolactinomas.

To study the in vivo expression of dopamine D2 receptors in prolactinoma and the predictive role of dopamine D2 receptors PET-MR imaging in the therapeutic effect of dopamine agonists.

Read the detailed description

The dopamine agonist(DA),such as cabergoline(CAB) and bromocriptine(BC), has been used widely in the treatment of prolactinomas, but its clinical use is hampered by intolerance and/or resistant in some patients. It had been showed that DA inhibit prolactin secretion by binding to and activating dopamine D2 receptors.PET-MR combined MR images with PET function images is substantial to evaluate the expression of dopamine D2 receptors.The aim is to study the in vivo expression of dopamine D2 receptors in prolactinoma and the predictive role of dopamine D2 receptors PET-MR imaging in the therapeutic effect of DA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SurgeryOther

    The medication will be stopped if failure to decrease prolactinoma size and the subjects will be advised to endoscopic transphenoidal pituitary surgery .

  • Drug treatmentDrug

    The medication will continue if DA causes tumors to shrink.

Study groups in NCT03717454
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Drug treatmentExperimentalSubjects are treated with CAB tablets 2mg/week or BC tablets 7.5mg/day.The pituitary hormone levels, tumor volume,visual acuity and visual field scale will be measured every 3 months.MRI showed that the tumors shrunk significantly.
Receives: Drug: Drug treatment
SurgeryExperimentalSubjects are treated with CAB tablets 2mg/week or BC tablets 7.5mg/day.The pituitary hormone levels, tumor volume, visual acuity and visual field scale will be measured every 3 months. The CAB or BC fail to decrease prolactinoma size.
Receives: Other: Surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline on PRL level

    Record the result of PRL on every 3 month follow-up visit

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline on tumor volume measured by enhanced pituitary Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)

    Record the tumor volume from enhanced pituitary MRI on every 3 month follow-up visits

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  2. Change from baseline of visual field scale

    Record the Visual field scale on every 3 month follow-up visit, 0 = normal, no vision loss; 1 = one quadrant vision loss; 2 = two quadrants of vision loss; 3 = three quadrants of vision loss; 4 = four quadrants of vision loss but retain a central tubular vision; 5 = blind

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  3. Change from baseline of visual acuity

    Record the Visual acuity on every 3 month follow-up visit.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surgery and Drug treatment in people with Prolactinoma, run by Zhebao Wu.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 20 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Weiting Gu, MD (0086-13917778956, nowaiting1221@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline on PRL level (time frame: Up to 6 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 NCT03717454, which also lists 3 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 20 Nov 2018.
