What participants receive

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

  • PET-MRI in pain-free remission periodProcedure or surgery

    Patients will performed PET-MRI scans. A first 30 minutes acquisition will be performed at time=60min after injection. A second 75 minutes acquisition will be performed at time=150min. Each scans will contain functional dynamic [18F]F13640 PET acquisition, anatomical and functional MRI images acquisition and pain evaluation using a score visual analogic scale.

Study groups in NCT05084469
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Episodic Cluster Headache patientsPatients will perform two PET-MRI scans: (1) during cluster period and (2) during pain-free remission period. Scans during cluster periods will aim to acquire data before, during and after crisis. Sumatriptan 6mg will be injected subcutaneously under PET-MRI camera to relieve patient pain.
Receives: Procedure: PET-MRI in pain-free remission period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cluster Headache, Episodic, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Genevieve Demarquay, MD (04 72 35 79 00 ext. +33, Genevieve.demarquay@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

[18F]F13640 binding (time frame: 30 minutes From t=60 to t=90 after [18F]F13640 injection on each scans). 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 19 Oct 2021.
