Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to see if Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging with a radioactive form of the hormone progesterone called FFNP will give the same results as hormone receptor testing already performed on tissue used to diagnose breast cancer. Read more about this study

What participants receive

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

  • PETRadiation

    PET imaging following injection of F18-FFNP to image hormone receptor status in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer

  • Laboratory TestingOther

    Blood and urine samples for standard laboratory testing and radioactive counts will be obtained during the imaging sessions. Testing will include: urinalysis, complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, and progesterone levels

  • Safety TestingOther

    ECG tracings and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and respiration rate) are obtained at several time points before, during and after the imaging sessions.

  • F18-FFNPDrug

    injection of F18-FFNP

FFNP-PET/CT ImagingOtherAll subjects will receive an injection of F-18-FFNP followed by PET/CT imaging, laboratory testing and safety testing.
Receives: Radiation: PET; Other: Laboratory Testing; Other: Safety Testing; Drug: F18-FFNP

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of FFNP-PET imaging compared to in-vivo receptor status

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To assess the diagnostic quality of FFNP-PET images at the proposed 10.0 mCi dose

    Measured: 4 years

  2. To determine the relationship between tumor FFNP uptake and in vitro status of progesterone receptor

    Measured: 4 years

  3. To calculate human dosimetry and overall safety of FFNP-PET imaging

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PET, Laboratory Testing and Safety Testing in people with Breast Cancer, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 6 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 9 Dec 2015. 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.

What does this 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.

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 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?

Diagnostic accuracy of FFNP-PET imaging compared to in-vivo receptor status (time frame: 4 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 NCT00968409, 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 9 Dec 2015.
