About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Positron Emission Tomography Imaging With [18F]-Fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) and [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for Assessment of Tumor Hypoxia in Soft Tissue Sarcoma

This phase II trial is studying 18F-fluoromisonidazole and fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET/CT scans to see how well they work in assessing oxygen in tumor tissue of patients with soft tissue sarcoma undergoing chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. Using diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-fluoromisonidazole and fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET scan and CT scan, to find oxygen in tumor cells may help in planning cancer treatment. It may also help doctors predict how well a patient will respond to treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the potential of 18F-fluoromisonidazole ([18F] FMISO) as a non-invasive indicator of tissue hypoxia to provide tumor-imaging data that correlates with tissue markers of hypoxia in patients with soft tissue sarcoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Test [18F] FMISO tumor uptake as an independent predictor of patient outcome and if it provides additional predictive power over fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET scan.

II. Test [18F] FMISO tumor uptake as a predictor of response in the subgroup of patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

III. Test the reproducibility of [18F] FMISO uptake in tumors by imaging the same patients on sequential days in a test-retest protocol.

IV. Determine the relationship between hypoxia-related biomarkers (HIF1-a and VEGF), proliferation biomarkers (microvascular density, p53, and Ki-67), and regional [18F] FMISO uptake in tumor.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18 [18F] FDG and 18F-fluoromisonidazole ([18F] FMISO) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans before starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy (without or without radiotherapy) and after completion of 4 courses of neoadjuvant therapy.

NOTE: Some patients may undergo repeat [18F] FMISO PET/CT scan within 48 hours after the first [18F] FMISO scan to evaluate the variability (test-retest) of this imaging measurement.

Blood samples are collected after completion of [18F] FMISO and [18F] FDG PET/CT scans for laboratory biomarker studies by IHC assays. Tumor samples from biopsy or surgery are also collected for biomarker studies.

After completion of study procedures, patients are followed up periodically for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes From Baseline Hypoxic Volume (HV)

    ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis analysis will be performed across the different categories to look for significant associations.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival

    Multivariate Cox regression will be used. The outcome is binary and generalized linear models and logistic regression will be employed.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Disease Free Survival

    Multivariate Cox regression will be used.

    Measured: From start of treatment to the follow-up review where recurrent disease is first detected, assessed up to 2 years

  3. Response to Radiation Therapy (XRT) by RECIST Criteria

    Will be approached using multivariate logistic regression.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing fludeoxyglucose F 18, 18F-fluoromisonidazole and positron emission tomography in people with Recurrent Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Stage I Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 2 sites 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 11 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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Nov 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Changes From Baseline Hypoxic Volume (HV) (time frame: Baseline and up to 2 years). 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 17 Nov 2017.
