About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of dynamic [18F]FDG PET imaging in assessing brain metastasis post stereotactic radiotherapy to separate true progression from the treatment-related changes.

Read the detailed description

After being informed about the study and potential risk, all participants giving written informed consent will be screened to determine if participant being referred fits eligibility criteria for the study, under of the supervision of the radiation oncologist. If a participant agrees to participate in this study, they will receive three additional imaging sessions (the dynamic PET scan). The first session will occur prior to starting treatment; the second session will occur at about 10 weeks post treatment; the third session will occur at first concern of progression at treated lesions or 12 months post-treatment, whichever comes earlier. These scans will be scheduled in addition to the participant's regular follow-up scans and appointments.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ObservationalExperimentalThis is a prospective, single-arm, pilot diagnostic study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of using dynamic [18F]FDG PET in 70 patients with brain metastases managed with stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS)/fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT). The study will include imaging assessments at baseline, at 10 weeks after treatment, and at first concern for progression or 12 months post-treatment, whichever comes earlier.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: dynamic [18-FDG PET] scan post stereotactic radiation for brain metastases

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of dynamic PET

    Diagnostic accuracy will be calculated and compared based on the index lesion.

    Measured: 12-month follow-up.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Clinical outcomes

    Clinical outcomes such as local recurrence.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  2. Clinical outcomes

    CNS progression-free survival and overall survival will be analyzed

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  3. Clinical outcomes

    Factors impact on these outcomes will be explored.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  4. Diagnostic imaging outcomes

    GMR-to-perfusion ratio.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  5. Diagnostic imaging outcomes

    Blood-brain barrier permeability to glucose.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  6. Diagnostic imaging outcomes

    Glucose Metabolic Rate.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  7. Diagnostic imaging outcomes

    Magnetic resonance spectroscopy data.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  8. Diagnostic imaging outcomes

    Other ancillary clinical data will be explored.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

  9. Cost-effectiveness analysis

    A decision analysis model coupled with Markov model will be constructed to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of performing dynamic PET in this setting from the Canadian health-care system perspective.

    Measured: 24-month follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dynamic [18-FDG PET] scan post stereotactic radiation for brain metastases in people with Brain Metastases, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Maureen Dougan (519 685 8500 ext. 35352, maureen.dougan@sjhc.london.on.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy of dynamic PET (time frame: 12-month follow-up.). 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 Jul 2024.
