Positron Emission Tomography Imaging With [F-18] FLT Compared to [F-18] FDG in Cancer Patients for Treatment Evaluation

NCT00894101 | Withdrawn Phase 2

• 1 other identifier: HS# 2009-6857
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: N/A
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical value of serial quantitative \[F-18\] FLT as a PET imaging tool in head and neck cancer patients clinically scheduled with radiation or radiation-chemotherapy combination in terms of safety and efficacy. Standard \[F-18\] FDG PET will be the active comparator.

Conditions

Head and Neck Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The basic safety data of [F-18] FLT tracer will be collected. The treatment response evaluated based on the [F-18] FLT results will be compared to the response evaluated based on the standard PET trace [F-18] FDG.

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug: [F-18] FLT

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Patient provides written Informed Consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements
• Patient is at least 18 years of age on the day of dosing (male or female of any race or ethnicity)
• Patient is capable of lying still in the PET scanner for the protocol required time frame(s)
• Patient has a diagnosis of one of the following malignancies (TNM Staging System):
• Lung cancer (T3 grade up, node positive, but no metastatic disease)
• Head and neck cancer (T3 grade up, node positive, but no metastatic disease)
• Patient has undergone a comparative, diagnostic procedure with lesion(s) visible, other than ultrasound, that includes, but is not limited to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine imaging, endoscopy, laparoscopy, standard abdominal x-ray, biopsy and/or surgery for one of the above mentioned areas
• Patient is scheduled to start radiotherapy or a chemoradiotherapy regimen for curative intent
• As a part of his/her standard radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy regimen, patient is scheduled to have clinical \[F-18\] FDG PET scans pre treatment and post treatment (at about 4 weeks (±1 week) after the start of therapy)
• Patient is scheduled to have the investigational, pre treatment \[F-18\] FLT PET scan recommended to be within ± 2 days of the clinical, pre treatment \[F-18\] FDG PET scan
• Patient has not received or intends to receive 5-fluorouracil (5-FU-chemotherapeutic agent)
• Patient has a score of greater than or equal to (≥) 60% on the Karnofsky Performance Status Scale

You may not qualify if:

• Patient is a pregnant or lactating female. These methods will be used to exclude the possibility of pregnancy:
• by testing on site at the institution (serum or urine βHCG) within 48 hours prior to the start of each investigational product administration,
• by surgical history (eg, tubal ligation or hysterectomy),
• by patient's history of being post menopausal with a minimum 1 year without menses.
• Patient is undergoing treatment with palliative intent
• Patient has received an investigational compound and/or medical device within 14 days before admission into this study
• Patient has any medical condition or other circumstances which would significantly decrease the chances of obtaining reliable data, achieving study objectives, or completing the study and/or post-dose follow-up examinations
• Patient is determined by the Investigator that he/she is clinically unsuitable for the study.
