About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Imaging Study of 1-a-D-(5-deoxy-5-[18]F-fluoroarabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole ([18]F-FAZA) in Patients With Known Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head & Neck, Small Cell and Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung, Lymphoma, Glioblastoma Multiforme, Neuroendocrine Tumours or Renal Cell Carcinoma

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a Nuclear Medicine procedure that uses positron emitting radiolabeled tracer molecules to visualize biological activity. The presence of hypoxia (low oxygen) is associated with poor prognosis in a variety of tumour types and treatment strategies targeting hypoxic cells have been developed. The PET tracer [18]F-FAZA can identify hypoxic areas, and changes in uptake during treatment may predict tumour response.

Read the detailed description

The proposed clinical trial will be a Phase I/II imaging, open label, single site study. In Phase I, one 18F-FAZA PET scan will be conducted in patients with known squamous cell carcinoma of the Head \& Neck, SCLC, NSCLC, lymphoma, GGM, neuroendocrine tumours or renal cell carcinoma. In Phase II, three 18F-FAZA PET scans will be done on patients with the above tumours as follows: one pre-treatment, one mid course and one post-treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-FAZA PET ImagingDrug

    Phase I: 110-600 MBq per injection. A single injection of 18F-FAZA and PET scan will be permitted per patient.

    Phase II: 110-600 MBq per injection. Up to three separate injections of 18F-FAZA and PET scans will be permitted per patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: demonstrate the safety of 18F-FAZA manufactured at the Edmonton Radiopharmaceutical Centre/Edmonton PET Centre. Phase II: determine the general biodistribution pattern of18F-FAZA.

    Phase I: Pre-injection and post-imaging vital signs, blood haematology and blood chemistry, adverse event collection.

    Phase II: The location and relative uptake of normal and abnormal 18F-FAZA biodistribution patterns will be determined.

    Measured: Phase I: 2 years, Phase II: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determine the relative tumour uptake of 18F-FAZA

    Measure relative uptake scores (RUS) and tumour to background ratios (T/B) and correlate this uptake to disease progression, disease-free survival, overall survival and response to treatment over 12 months of follow-up.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Confirm the safety of 18F-FAZA manufactured at the Edmonton Radiopharmaceutical Centre/Edmonton PET Centre

    Adverse event collection

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 18F-FAZA PET Imaging in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Neuroendocrine Tumours, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2019. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Retirement of former Qualified Investigator and lack of resources to complete study.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Phase I: demonstrate the safety of 18F-FAZA manufactured at the Edmonton Radiopharmaceutical Centre/Edmonton PET Centre. Phase II: determine the general biodistribution pattern of18F-FAZA. (time frame: Phase I: 2 years, Phase II: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00323076, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Aug 2019.
