About this study

Official title: Study of Different Gating Techniques of Positron Emission Tomography Acquisition Focus on Lung or Liver Nodules. Comparaison on Phantoms and a Series of Patients

Lesions blurred by respiratory motion are common in fluorine-18 PET/CT studies. To avoid these artefacts, several standard gating correction technics are available. the investigator aimed to compare the impact of different gating techniques based on phase, amplitude, elastic-motion monitored with and without pressurre sensor device on standardized uptake value (SUVmax and SUVpeak) and uptake volume (UV) measurements on different sizes of pulmonary and liver lesions. The feasability of this study will be done using anthropomorphic coupled with a motion phantom and on a series of patients.

Read the detailed description

PET-CT images will be acquired on a Biograph Vision600 PET/CT, fitted with 26cm axial field of view and time of flight.

Phantom study will use an anthropomorphic TORSO phantom with a programmable motion phantom, mimicking respiratory motion (QUASAR). Spheres with various internal diameters will be introduce into the lungs (air density) adding an axial mechanical device simulating breathing movement of +/-20mm. Concentration in the spheres will be the same for all diameters. The background and liver activities will be approximatively respectively 38 and 14 MBq. This phantom will be a simulating patient only for lung lesions.

The investigator will compare 6 different PET acquisitions: standard 3min acquisition without movement as our reference of "trues SUVmax and UV", 3min acquisition with simulated breathing movement without any gating and 3min with respectively gating techniques based on phase, amplitude, elastic-motion monitored with and without pressurre sensor device.

Patient study will be on 50 consecutive patients with lung or liver nodules. 18F-FDG injection will be around 2.5 MBq/kg.

The investigator will compare 5 different PET acquisitions: standard acquisition with free respiratory movement as our reference of "trues SUVmax and UV", acquisitions with respectively gating techniques based on phase, amplitude, elastic-motion monitored with and without pressurre sensor device.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung; Nodule and Liver Metastases, run by Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace at 1 site in Monaco.

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 25 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Monaco. 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.

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 the different gating systems in lung lesions visualization (time frame: Inclusion). 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 NCT05779865, which also lists 2 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 25 Sep 2023.
