About this study

Official title: Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Participants With Known or Suspected Neuroendocrine Tumours Using 64Cu SARTATE: A Multi-Centre, Single Arm, Non-Randomised, Blinded-Review, Phase II Study

The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of imaging agent 64Cu-SARTATE in participants with known or suspected Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) as a potential new way to help diagnose NETs.

Read the detailed description

Up to 63 participants will be recruited in this study and who are confirmed or suspected to have NETs based on biochemical evidence or that of conventional anatomical or molecular imaging.

Being tested
64Cu-SARTATE

What participants receive

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

  • 64Cu-SARTATEDrug

    Also called 64Cu-MeCOSar-Octreotate

    64Cu-SARTATE will be administered at a fixed administration dose, single bolus intravenous injection, peptide mass not exceeding 60µg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of diagnostic performance of 64Cu-SARTATE to that of 68Ga-DOTATATE on a per-lesion basis for discordant findings

    Sensitivity and specificity on the 4-hour 64Cu-SARTATE PET/CT compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.

    Measured: At 4 hours post administration of 64Cu-SARTATE

  2. Comparison of diagnostic performance of 64Cu-SARTATE to that of 68Ga-DOTATATE on a per-lesion basis for discordant findings

    Sensitivity and Specificity on the 20-hour 64Cu-SARTATE PET/CT compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.

    Measured: At 20 hours post administration of 64Cu-SARTATE

  3. Comparison of diagnostic performance of 64Cu-SARTATE to that of 68Ga-DOTATATE on a per-lesion basis for discordant findings

    Lesion detection rate on composite of 4-hour and 20-hour 64Cu-SARTATE PET/CT compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.

    Measured: At 4 and 20 hours post administration of 64Cu-SARTATE

  4. To assess the proportion of concordance between 4-hour 64Cu-SARTATE to that of 68Ga-DOTATATE

    Concordance measured on a per-lesion basis

    Measured: At 4 hours post administration of 64Cu-SARTATE

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To compare the diagnostic performance of 64Cu-SARTATE to 68Ga-DOTATATE on a per-participant basis in participants with suspected disease only.

    1. Sensitivity and specificity of the 4-hour 64Cu-SARTATE PET/CT compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.
    2. Sensitivity and specificity of the 20-hour 64Cu-SARTATE PET/CT compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.

    Measured: At 4 hours and 20 hours post administration of 64Cu-SARTATE

  2. Incidence of adverse events related to 64Cu-SARTATE

    Adverse events will be graded using the national cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0.

    Measured: 1 week post administration of 64Cu-SARTATE

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 64Cu-SARTATE in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Clarity Pharmaceuticals Ltd at 4 sites in Australia.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 12 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Australia. 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?

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?

Comparison of diagnostic performance of 64Cu-SARTATE to that of 68Ga-DOTATATE on a per-lesion basis for discordant findings (time frame: At 4 hours post administration of 64Cu-SARTATE). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 Feb 2025.
