About this study

Official title: 18F-(2S,4R)4-Glutamine PET/CT in Imaging Patients With Malignant Tumor

This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET) imaging utilizing 18F-(2S,4R)4-fluoroglutamine, a glutamic acid derivative, to image patients with malignant tumor. [18F]Fluoroglutamine PET may provide additional information that help diagnose and stage cancer patients.

Being tested

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
4-[18F]FluoroglutamineExperimentalPatients undergo 18F-FDG PET/CT scan first. Within 7 working days, patients receive 4-[18F]Fluoroglutamine IV and 60 minutes after injection, undergo 4-[18F]Fluoroglutamine PET/CT before the start of therapy.
Receives: Radiation: 18F-(2S,4R)4-fluoroglutamine

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnosing and Staging ability of 4-[18F]Fluoroglutamine PET/CT in malignant cancer

    Sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy of 4-[18F]Fluoroglutamine and 18F-FDG PET/CT will be compared using paired t-test or Krusal-Wallis test.

    Measured: up to three years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    The evaluation of the Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events starts from the day of F-Gln examination until 30 days later; Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events are evaluated according to version 4.03 CTC-AE criteria.

    Measured: up to 30 days after the F-Gln imaging

  2. ASCT2 expression levels in tissue samples

    Wilcoxon rank-sum or Kruskal-Wallis tests will be applied for the group comparisons of IHC staining(ASCT2)

    Measured: up to three years

  3. The correlation between 18F-(2S,4R)4- glutamine PET/CT imaging and prognosis in malignant tumors

    Evaluating the prognostic value of metabolic parameters and clinical indexes by using log-rank tests on univariate analysis and COX proportional hazards regression tests

    Measured: up to three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 18F-(2S,4R)4-fluoroglutamine in people with Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 6 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 6 Sep 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?

Contact Hui Wang, MD (86-02125078590, wanghauishanghai@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnosing and Staging ability of 4-[18F]Fluoroglutamine PET/CT in malignant cancer (time frame: up to three 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 6 Sep 2019.
