Trial summary

In the study, we aimed to characterize the role of FDG PET/CT surveillance at 12 months of malignant lymphoma in asymptomatic patients after a first complete remission and to define a rational follow-up strategy. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients were examined every 3 to 4 months during the first two years, then every 6 months for three years, including physical examination and blood-test. One group (group 1) of patients received a systematic routine surveillance FDG PET/CT at 12 months (PET/CT1y) according to hematologist team and the other group (group 2) did not receive routine follow-up FDG PET/CT at 12 months (non PET/CT1y). None patient was symptomatic the first year. A median follow-up of 24 months at the end of treatment was required.

Who may be able to join

  • first diagnosis of aggressive lymphoma, complete metabolic remission after a first-line of chemotherapy, no relapse in the first year after the end of treatment

Who cannot join

  • minor patient, pregnant woman, legal protection (legal curatorship / guardianship), absence of consent

About this study

Official title: Interest of a Systematic One-year Monitoring by 18F-FDG PET-CT of Patients in Complete Remission of Malignant Lymphoma

In the study, we aimed to characterize the role of FDG PET/CT surveillance at 12 months of malignant lymphoma in asymptomatic patients after a first complete remission and to define a rational follow-up strategy.

Read the detailed description

Most aggressive lymphomas are sensitive to first-line immunochemotherapy and are in first Complete Remission (CR) with initial therapy. CR significantly decreases the risk of recurrence and increases survival. However, a cure is not guaranteed and approximately one third of lymphoma patients have a relapse disease.

FDG PET/CT is a valuable noninvasive tool in the evaluation of lymphomas, especially to differentiate viable lymphoma and fibrosis or necrosis in residual mass.

The majority of relapses are diagnosed based on clinical symptoms reported by patients. And the role of FDG PET/CT for routine surveillance of patients after treatment is controversial.

However, many medical centers use routine follow-up FDG PET/CT in addition to physical examination and laboratory analysis to detect subclinical relapse.

Thus, we can imagine a good timing to routine FDG PET/CT when the tumor burden is small in the asymptomatic window.

Survival improvement for relapse detected by routine follow-up imaging is not clearly established compared to diagnosis by clinical symptoms.

Several studies tried to assess the value of follow-up FDG PET/CT but population, type, timing and duration of surveillance imaging was very heterogeneous.

What is being measured

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

  1. role of FDG-PET/CT surveillance at 12months of lymphoma in asymptomatic patient in first complete remission

    detection rate of relapse at 1 year and at the end of follow-up

    Measured: one day

  2. performances FDG-PET/CT 1 year

    sensitivity, sensibility, predictive negative value, predictive positive value, accuracy

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. overall survival and progression-free survival

    as the time from the end of first-line chemotherapy

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Lymphoma and Relapsed Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by University Hospital, Brest.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 9 Jul 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?

role of FDG-PET/CT surveillance at 12months of lymphoma in asymptomatic patient in first complete remission (time frame: one day). The study lists 2 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 9 Jul 2020.
