About this study

Official title: The Value of Novel Imaging Modality, Hybrid PET/CT, Using F18-Flurodeoxyglucose(FDG) in the Assessment of Cancer Patients. Impact of PET/CT on Clinical Management of Patients With Rising Tumor Markers and no Other Evidence of Disease and in Patients With Metastatic Cancer of Unknown Origin

The purpose of the present study is to assess the role of hybrid PET/CT imaging diagnosis of active malignancy in cancer patients with rising tumor markers after treatment and in the diagnosis of primary tumor in patients with metastatic cancer of unknown origin. The clinical impact of PET/CT in the management and treatment of these two groups of cancer patients will be evaluated

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/CT imaging in people with Cancer, run by Rambam Health Care Campus at 1 site in Israel.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 11 Apr 2007. 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 Israel. 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?

the impact of the imaging modality on patient management. 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 11 Apr 2007.
