About this study

Official title: Integrating 18F-FDG PET/CT With 18F-FLT PET/CT in Predicting Treatment Response and Prognosis of Metastatic/Recurrent Breast Cancer

We aim to investigate the value of 3'-deoxy-3'-18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for early prediction of treatment response and survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer after salvage therapy.

Read the detailed description

Patients with metastatic breast cancer were enrolled and received PET/CT using 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG at baseline, after 1st cycle , and after 2nd cycle of systemic chemotherapy. The standard reference for treatment response was classified according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria for contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) after 3 months of systemic chemotherapy. The metabolic response on PET was assessed according to PET response criteria in solid tumors (PERCIST) criteria and was correlated to the treatment response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-fluorothymidineDiagnostic test

    Patients receive fluorothymidine F-18 IV over 1 minute and undergo PET scan over 60 minutes at least 10 days prior to systemic chemotherapy, and at least 10 days after first and second cycles of systemic chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in 18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) maximal standardized uptake value (SUV) as response to therapy

    The response to therapy would be determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1) by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT). The change of SUVmax between the responders and non responders on 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG would be compared.

    Measured: Baseline, post 1-cycle and post 2-cycle (at least 10 days prior to or after systemic chemotherapy, each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORCT) response by 18F-FLT-PET and 18F-FDG-PET for the prediction of anatomic treatment response

    We will use both EORTC and PERCIST criteria to compare the 18F-FLT-PET and 18F-FDG-PET metabolic response for the predictions of anatomic treatment response. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and comparison were performed to evaluate the performance of 18F-FLT-PET and 18F-FDG-PET in predicting the anatomic treatment response, both with EORTC and PERCIST criteria.

    Measured: Baseline, post 1-cycle and post 2-cycle (at least 10 days prior to or after systemic chemotherapy, , each cycle is 28 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 18F-fluorothymidine in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2020. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in 18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) maximal standardized uptake value (SUV) as response to therapy (time frame: Baseline, post 1-cycle and post 2-cycle (at least 10 days prior to or after systemic chemotherapy, 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 NCT04411966, 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 2 Jun 2020.
