NCT05645484

Brief Summary

This is a monocentric prospective study. This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of the novel melanin-targeted imaging modality 18F-PFPN PET in patients with melanoma and seek independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The patients with clinically highly suspected or confirmed melanoma who underwent 18F-PFPN and 18F-FDG PET scans will be enrolled consecutively. Patients' PET images, clinical characteristics, and follow-up information will be collected for prognostic analyses. This study plans to set the sample size as 100 cases.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS time is calculated from the date of PET imaging to the first recurrence/progression or death or the endpoint of follow-up. The disease recurrence/progression is confirmed after a thorough review of following-up imaging or pathologic findings.

    1-2 years

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    OS time is defined as the time from PET imaging to death or the endpoint of follow-up.

    1-2 years

Study Arms (2)

18F-PFPN PET imaging

For clinically suspected or confirmed melanoma patients, targeted melanin-specific imaging 18F-PFPN PET/MR was performed. CT was instead when MRI was contraindicated. PET images, clinical characteristics, and follow-up information will be collected for prognostic analyses.

Drug: 18F-PFPN

18F-FDG PET imaging

For clinically suspected or confirmed melanoma patients, general metabolic imaging 18F-FDG PET PET/CT was performed. PET images, clinical characteristics, and follow-up information will be collected for prognostic analyses.

Drug: 18F-FDG

Interventions

18F-PFPN (dose: 3.0-5.4 MBq/kg) will be injected intravenously prior to imaging.

Also known as: 18F-PEG3-FPN
18F-PFPN PET imaging

18F-FDG (dose: 3.7-5.4 MBq/kg) will be injected intravenously prior to imaging.

Also known as: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose
18F-FDG PET imaging

Eligibility Criteria

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with clinically highly suspected or confirmed melanoma underwent 18F-PFPN and 18F-FDG PET scans in the PET center.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with histopathologically confirmed melanoma;
  • Patients with complete clinical and follow-up data (including TNM stage, subtypes, and treatment strategies).

You may not qualify if:

  • Uncertain histopathology;
  • A history of other malignancies.
