About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Performance of PET/CT Vs Bone Marrow Biopsy in Exclusion of BM Infiltration for Initial Staging of Lymphoma

lymphoma is a common malignancy in the developed world. the two main categories of lymphoma are non-Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bone marrow biopsy (BMB) is the most direct method of detecting lymphoma infiltration, however it is an invasive procedure. 18 fluro-2deoxy-D glucose PET/CT is a non-invasive examination that can comperhensively evaluate the state of bone marrow (BM) with extremely high sensitivity in detecting bone marrow infiltration of lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

Lymphoma is a common malignancy in the developed world. Many subtypes of lymphomas are known. The two main categories of lymphoma are the non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (90% of cases) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (10%). Lymphoma makes up 3-4% of all cancers, making them as a group the seventh-most common form.

Bone marrow biopsy is the most direct method of detecting lymphoma infiltration, however, it is an invasive procedure which is accompanied by several complications such as pain, hemorrhage and may miss marrow involvement if infiltration is patchy, or not taken from a part of the marrow that is involved.

18fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a non-invasive examination that can comprehensively evaluate the state of bone marrow with extremely high sensitivity in detecting bone marrow infiltration of lymphoma and can replace bone marrow biopsy.

At this moment, there is no clear international guideline between the indications of PET-CT and bone marrow biopsy, but there is interest in using the PET/CT findings to either supplement or even replace the BMB in the evaluation of BM involvement in lymphoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, run by Assiut University.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2022. 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 Seham Sharef (+201097515105, Seham.14224009@med.aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison between PET/CT and BMB in detection of bone marrow involvement (time frame: 30 days between initial bone marrow biopsy and initial PET/CT before starting treatment for lymphoma). 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 NCT05565898, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 1 Nov 2022.
