About this study

Official title: The Value of 18F-FES-PET/CT in Predicting the Efficacy of Fulvestrant as First-line Treatment in Postmenopausal Patients With Hormone Receptor-positive Advanced Breast Cancer - a Multicenter Prospective Study

This study is focused on the value of 18F-FES-PET in predicting the Fulvestrant efficacy in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The imaging agent involved in this study is 16α-[18F]-fluoro-17β-estradiol (18F-FES).

Read the detailed description

This study is an open, multi-center and prospective clinical study, It is the first time investigators are examining this imaging agent in Chinese patients with breast cancer.

The Chinese FDA has approved 18F-FES as an investigational tracer in a selective few research studies. The Chinese FDA has not approved this tracer for any use outside of research. In this research study, the investigators are investigating the use of a PET tracer called 18F-FES in patients with breast cancer.

The purpose is to take images that can measure the amount of a protein called Estrogen Receptor, or 'ER' in breast tumors. The expression level of ER is tightly correlated with the Fulvestrant efficacy in patients with breast cancer. The investigators will take the pictures of the participant's residual tumor lesions using a PET/CT scanner with 18F-FES used as the tracer before and after the first cycle of Fulvestrant treatment. The investigators are trying to clarify the relationship between the clinical Fulvestrant efficacy and the amount change of 18F-FES uptake by breast tumor around the first cycle of Fulvestrant treatment.

This could help them to predict the efficacy of endocrine therapy by monitoring the dynamic levels of ER in advance, and potentially help guide treatment of breast tumors in the future.

18F-FES was initially developed to image the primary breast tumor. In previous studies of 18F-FES conducted in humans, there were no adverse events (there have been no problems). While this is not the first time 18F-FES has been used in humans, it is the first study in which the investigators study its predictive value in the treatment efficacy in breast cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. the change percentage of 18F-FES SUV

    The change percentage of 18F-FES standard uptake value (SUV) before and after cycle 1 of Fulvestrant treatment

    Measured: At end of cycle 1 of Fulvestrant treatment (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The correlation between the change percentage of 18F-FES SUV and the clinical efficacy

    To find the correlation between the change percentage of 18F-FES SUV and the clinical efficacy, and further to determine the cutoff of 18F-FES SUV change percentage that could predict beneficial efficacy of Fulvestrant in breast cancer

    Measured: From the enrollment time to the time of disease progression or 2 years' followup which comes first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 18F-FES-PET in people with Estrogen Receptor-positive Breast Cancer and Fulvestrant, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong 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 6 inclusion and 14 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 11 Dec 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 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 Jin Yang (0086-029-85324600, yangjin@xjtu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the change percentage of 18F-FES SUV (time frame: At end of cycle 1 of Fulvestrant treatment (each cycle is 28 days)). 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 NCT03768479, 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 11 Dec 2018.
