What is being measured

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

  1. The Difference in the Change (Pre and End-treatment) of Standard Uptake Value (SUV) Between Pathological Non-responders and Responders (pCR)

    The quantitative measures of standard uptake value (SULpeak and SULmax, prone and supine position) from PET were obtained. SUV = (Tracer activity in tissue)/(Injected radiotracer dose/patient weight or lean body mass) with unit microcuries/g/(millicuries/kg) (no unit after simplification). The SUV was averaged over the tumor regions. These averages were computed for each patient at each time point. All patients were were planned to be scanned three times: prior to treatment, during treatment and at the end of treatment. The change of SUV was calculated as the end of treatment value minus the pre-treatment value. Then the difference in the change between the responders and non-responders were estimated using Wilcoxon rank sum test. The pseudomedians and nonparametric confidence intervals for the difference (change of non-responders minus the change of responders) were reported for parameters SULpeak and SULmax measured for different positions. Pathological response were measured at the

    Measured: up to 6 months (1 scan prior to chemotherapy and 2 scans prior to surgery)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare and Combine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs) (Obtained From Study BRE0588) and Positron Emission Tomography/ Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Methods to Develop a Robust Assessment of Tumor Status.

    Measured: 48 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Radiopharmaceutical Administration [18F]-FDG and Radiopharmaceutical: [18F]-FLT in people with Breast Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 2 Jul 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jul 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?

The Difference in the Change (Pre and End-treatment) of Standard Uptake Value (SUV) Between Pathological Non-responders and Responders (pCR) (time frame: up to 6 months (1 scan prior to chemotherapy and 2 scans prior to surgery)). 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 2 Jul 2017.
