About this study

Official title: Glucose Metabolic Response by PET/CT to Sarcoma Treatments

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan and CT scan, may help doctors determine the extent of cancer and predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well PET scan combined with CT scan evaluates treatment response in patients undergoing treatment for bone cancer or soft tissue sarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether an FDA-approved device that combines fludeoxyglucose ^18F positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) and CT scanning (FDG-PET/CT) can accurately locate and determine the extent of disease in patients who are undergoing treatment for bone or soft tissue sarcoma.
  • Determine whether FDG-PET/CT scanning is effective in evaluating the response of sarcoma to treatment.
  • Determine whether the new FDG-PET/CT device improves the ability to evaluate treatment response early and accurately.
  • Correlate changes in glucose metabolic activity early and late after treatment with overall and progression-free survival.
  • Correlate changes in glucose metabolic activity early and late after treatment with degree of tumor necrosis at the time of surgery.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective, pilot study. Patients are stratified according to disease (high-grade soft tissue sarcoma vs low-grade soft tissue sarcoma vs osteosarcoma).

Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose ^18F positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT scanning at baseline and then within 2 weeks and 12 weeks after the start of treatment (total of 3 scans).

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 120 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

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

  • positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT)Procedure or surgery

    The first PET/CT scan will be performed as part of clinical evaluation of sarcoma; The second PET/CT scan will be performed 6 weeks after the start of chemotherapy treatment OR 6 weeks after the end of radiation therapy, to monitor response of sarcoma to treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) in people with Sarcoma, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2020. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Determine whether device that combines fludeoxyglucose ^18F positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) and CT scanning (FDG-PET/CT) can accurately locate and determine disease in patients who are undergoing treatment for bone or soft tissue sarcoma. (time frame: 6 months). 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 31 Jul 2020.
