About this study

Accurate staging of patients with non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) is of fundamental importance both for the correct choice of treatment plan and for prognosis. Numerous studies have demonstrated the added value of co-registration of functional PET images and anatomical CT images using hybrid PET-CT tomographs and the consequent benefits on the choice of treatment in patients with NSCLC. Currently in most PET centers CT is performed with a "low dose" technique and is used exclusively as a transmissive source for attenuation correction and anatomical localization. The availability of new generation hybrid tomographs allows for "diagnostic" CT examinations (contrast CT) to be performed with a standard dose of radiation and with the use of intravenous and/or oral iodinated contrast medium (contrast medium). Little data is currently available on the added value of a PET-CT scan performed in a single session compared to PET-CT performed independently and, generally, subsequently to CT scan.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the ability to correctly define the accuracy in localizing and characterizing lung "lesions" in patients with confirmed NSCLC, in the staging or restaging phase, through the use of: PET-CT "low-dose" and PET contrast CT.

The effects of the two procedures on the patient's quality of life and on the costs incurred by the patient and the healthcare service will also be evaluated.

Being tested
PET/CT with contrast medium in a single session.
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • PET/CT with contrast medium in a single session.Diagnostic test

    Patients will undergo low dose PET/CT with FDG. Following the PET exam, a Standard CT with contrast medium will be acquired, using the CT tomography inserted inside the PET.

What is being measured

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

  1. Use of PET and CT with contrast in a single session

    In patients with confirmed NSCLC, evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of low dose PET-CT and contrast-enhanced PET CT

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by IRCCS San Raffaele.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 13 Dec 2023. 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?

Use of PET and CT with contrast in a single session (time frame: 1 year). 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 13 Dec 2023.
