About this study

Official title: Evaluation of 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT in Predicting Neo Adjuvant Treatment Response in Locally Advanced Rectum Cancer

This phase II trial is assessing how 64Cu-ATSM (64Cu-copper(II) diacetylbis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone)) PET/CT scan could predict neo adjuvant treatment response in rectum cancer locally advanced

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate early and late tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM in predicting histological response to neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy treatment in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Patients receive pre-therapeutic CT scan, Pelvic MRI and 18FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET/CT (positron emission tomography) scan within 45 days before enrollment.

64Cu-ATSM PET/CT scan is done before chemoradiotherapy treatment start. About 3 MBq/Kg of 64Cu-ATSM are injected intravenously, two acquisition sequences are performed 1 hour and 23 to 25 hours after injection in order to evaluate early and late tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM.

Patients are treated for 5 weeks by Capecitabine chemotherapy (1600 mg/m2/day) combined to 50 Gy radiotherapy.

Pelvic MRI is performed 4 weeks after chemotherapy in order to evaluate the treatment efficacy.

Surgery is scheduled 6 to 8 weeks after chemoradiotherapy. Tissue samples from previously collected rectal biopsy (obtained for diagnosis) and from surgery are used for assessing oxidative stress markers by Immuno-histochemical analysis.

Chest, abdomen and pelvis CT scan is performed every 6 months after surgery in order to assess progression free survival.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relationship between early tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT images and prediction of histological response to neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy treatment

    Early tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM will be assessed by SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) measurement, histological response Will be assessed by Rodel grading (Tumor Regression Grading)

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Relationship between late tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT images and prediction of histological response to neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy treatment

    Late tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM will be assessed by SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) measurement, histological response Will be assessed by Rodel grading (Tumor Regression Grading)

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Correlation between 64Cu-ATSM uptake and oxidative stress markers

    Aggressive zones corresponding to high redox potential areas will be assessed by Immuno-histochemical analysis on the surgical sample and on the pre-therapeutic biopsy

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Progression free survival

    Progression Free survival is the delay between surgery and the date of documented disease progression

    Measured: 2 years

  4. 18FDG-PET/CT and 64Cu-PET/CT uptakes

    Correlation between 18FDG-PET/CT and 64Cu-PET/CT uptakes

    Measured: 45 days

  5. Comparison between early and late 64Cu-ATSM uptakes in 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT images

    Early and Late tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM will be assessed by SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) measurement

    Measured: 45 days

  6. 64Cu-ATSM toxicity

    64Cu-ATSM toxicity will be assessed by vital signs monitoring within 2 hours after 64Cu-ATSM injection

    Measured: 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 64Cu-ATSM in people with Rectal Cancer, run by Institut Cancerologie de l'Ouest at 5 sites 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 11 inclusion and 13 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 12 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

Relationship between early tumor uptake of 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT images and prediction of histological response to neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy treatment (time frame: 4 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 12 Mar 2024.
