Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the value of dual-time-point PET/CT in the recurrence of breast cancer and to determine whether the method is better than the modalities used in the standard work up. 150 patients with suspected breast cancer recurrence will be included.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the value of dual-time-point PET/CT in the recurrence of breast cancer and to determine whether the method is better than the modalities used in the standard work up.

150 patients with suspected breast cancer recurrence will be included. All patients will undergo dual-time-point PET/CT, CT of thorax and upper abdomen and bone scintigraphy. After completion of the examinations the early and the late PET/CT scan will be compared with each other, the diagnostic CT-scan and the bone scintigraphy. A verification of suspicious findings will be done by biopsy, if the area is accessible. If a biopsy cannot be obtained, the presence of recurrence will be verified with additional imaging follow-up to ensure the highest possible confidence. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative and positive predictive value (NPV/PPV) will be calculated for each modality (incl. early and late PET/CT).

What participants receive

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

  • Dual-time PET/CT (low-dose)Radiation

    4 MBq/kg 18F-flour-deoxyglucose administered iv. PET/CT-scans performed 60 min and 180 min after injection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic value of dual-time point 18FDG PET/CT in recurrent breast cancer

    The sensitivity and specificity of dual-time point 18FDG PET/CT will be compared to conventional imaging modalities usually used in the work up of patients with suspected recurrent breast cancer. In this case CT of thorax and upper abdomen and bone scintigraphy.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Diagnostic value of early and late 18FDG PET/CT respectively in recurrent breast cancer

    The sensitivity and specificity of early (60 min post injection) and late (180 min post injection) 18FDG PET/CT respectively in patients with suspected recurrent breast cancer.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual-time PET/CT (low-dose) in people with Breast Cancer Recurrent, run by Odense University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 21 Apr 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 Denmark. 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?

Diagnostic value of dual-time point 18FDG PET/CT in recurrent breast cancer (time frame: 2 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 NCT01552655, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Apr 2015.
