Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with histologically-confirmed colorectal carcinoma and preoperative PET scan with evidence of hypermetabolic lesions suspicious for cancer will be eligible for this study. In cases of primary cancer, there must be a tissue-confirmed diagnosis. In recurrent cases, patients must have clinical evidence by CT or MRI of disease suitable for resection.
  • Patients must be candidates for clinically indicated surgery.
  • Patients with recurrent disease may have had prior surgery and/or chemotherapy with no limit to the number of prior therapeutic procedures or chemotherapeutic regimens.
  • Patients must have a performance status of 0, 1 or 2 by ECOG(Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group)standards.
  • Patients must give written informed consent including consent to have IV line placed for FDG administration.
  • Patients must be at least 18 years of age. Children under the age of 18 are excluded from the study due to the rarity of colorectal cancer in children.

  • Because radiolabeled agents are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use an acceptable form of contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of the study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Organ function requirements: Patients must have organ and marrow function adequate to undergo laparotomy. Specifically:
  • Serum creatinine < 2.0 mg/dl
  • Serum bilirubin < 2.0 mg/dl
  • AST(aspartate aminotransferase,serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase,serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase)[SGOT]/ALT[SGPT]<4 times institutional upper limit of normal
  • Total WBC(white blood cell)>4,000/mm3 or ANC(absolute neutrophil count)> 1,500/mm3
  • Platelets > 100,000/mm3
  • Hgb >10g/dl
  • Patient must have no clinically significant cardiac disease (New York Heart Association Class III/IV); no serious infection requiring treatment with antibiotics; no other serious ill-ness or illness requiring the use of steroids; no clinically significant pulmonary disease or other illness that would contraindicate or increase the risk of complications at surgery.
  • Fasting blood sugar less than 120 mg/dl

Who cannot join

  • Patients with active CNS (central nervous system)tumor involvement are ineligible.
  • Any patient who has retained childbearing potential will not be pregnant or lactating and must use adequate contraception to assure avoidance of conception.
  • Body size prohibits use of the diagnostic equipment (portable CT scanner).
  • Tumor burden is so great (as determined by preoperative PET scanning or intraoperative findings) that further surgery is not advised.
  • If lesions are detected with preoperative CT but not with PET scanning (in other words, all patients will have a positive PET scan as part of the inclusion criteria).

About this study

Official title: A 2 Phase Comparison of Pre-operative CT AND PET Images in the Intraoperative Detection of Disease to a Hand-held Probe, and to an Intraoperative CT Scan in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

This pilot phase II studies how well computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging works in detecting disease in patients undergoing surgery for metastatic colorectal cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as CT and PET scans, done before and during surgery may help find colorectal cancer and help guide surgery

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the feasibility of rigidly (linearly) registering PET to CT images and applying this fused dataset to guide surgery with an image-guided navigation system and a handheld positron probe in order to facilitate disease detection and improve resection accuracy in advanced stage colorectal cancer.

II. To complete development of software for the nonlinear registration of PET and CT datasets.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo preoperative whole-body PET scans and CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis. Patients then receive 18 F fludeoxyglucose (FDG) intravenously (IV) 60-90 minutes prior to surgery and undergo intraoperative CT scans using a handheld probe and computer navigation system.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PET Scan, CT Scan and fludeoxyglucose F 18 in people with Recurrent Colon Cancer and Recurrent Rectal Cancer, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive 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 16 inclusion and 5 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 2 Mar 2016. 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 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 3 Feb 2016). 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?

Detection of Position Accuracy With Handheld Probe on Anatomical Location. (time frame: up to 12 months). 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 NCT01821105, 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 2 Mar 2016.
