Trial summary

To develop a novel method for evaluating treatment response in lymphoma by utilizing PET/CT imaging data from patients with high-metabolic lymphoma. This involves comparing end-of-treatment PET (EOT-PET) with interim PET (iPET) results to establish a new response assessment approach. Read more about this study

About this study

To develop a novel method for evaluating treatment response in lymphoma by utilizing PET/CT imaging data from patients with high-metabolic lymphoma. This involves comparing end-of-treatment PET (EOT-PET) with interim PET (iPET) results to establish a new response assessment approach. The aim is to contrast this method with the Lugano classification criteria, providing clinicians with more scientific and accurate tools for response evaluation and prognosis prediction.

Read the detailed description

This study adopted a multicenter retrospective cohort design. A total of 2,000 patients with highly metabolic lymphoma who underwent PET/CT scans and had clinical data available at Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from June 2013 to December 2023, were selected for model development. The model was validated using an external validation cohort of 2,000 patients with highly metabolic lymphoma who underwent PET/CT scans at other institutions, including West China Hospital of Sichuan University. All patients were required to have undergone 18F-FDG PET/CT scans before treatment, during treatment, and after treatment.

Lesions were manually delineated, and software was used to automatically calculate PET/CT parameters such as SUVmax, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) for primary and metastatic lesions based on 18F-FDG PET/CT. Clinical data for all patients were collected from their medical records, including age, gender, LDH levels, B symptoms, extranodal involvement, IPI score, presence of bulky disease, pathological subtype, and treatment regimen.

Each patient's end-of-treatment PET/CT was compared with baseline PET/CT based on the Lugano criteria to evaluate treatment response, and the results were recorded in Group A. Correspondingly, the end-of-treatment PET/CT was also compared with interim PET/CT to derive a new treatment response evaluation, and the results were recorded in Group B. The treatment response evaluations from Groups A and B were then compared. Statistical analysis was performed to identify patients with inconsistent treatment response evaluations between the two groups. Additionally, it was recorded whether the treatment plan for each patient was altered at the end of first-line therapy based on the treatment response evaluation from Group B.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, run by Ruijin Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 0 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2025. 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 China. 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?

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 Rui Guo (13361860108, gr11734@rjh.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Optimization of 18F-FDG PET/CT Response Assessment and Prognostic Evaluation Strategies for High-Metabolism Lymphoma (time frame: Before the start of treatment, after 4 cycles of treatment(each cycle is 28 days), and 6-8 weeks after the end of treatment.). 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 27 Jan 2025.
