Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to see if Positron Emission Tomography (PET) probes make it easier for your surgeon to find cancer and remove it during your surgery. A PET probe is a wandlike device that can detect radioactivity. Read more about this study

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01826227
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Positron Emission TomographyExperimentalThis is a pilot study to determine the ability of intraoperative PET probe to detect and localize recurrent disease. Patients with evidence for a first recurrence of ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma, with evidence of 18F-FDG avid disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT and who are able to undergo secondary CRS are eligible. 20 patients will be studied. All patients will undergo secondary cytoreduction guided by intraoperative PET probe survey. Intraoperative count levels as well as exvivo counts of the resected specimens will be done. Specimens detected with probe only will be labeled so and will be submitted to pathology for histopathologic confirmation.
Receives: Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography; Radiation: 18F-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-lucose; Procedure: Cytoreductive surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity

    of detection of lesions with PET probes compared to preoperative FDG18F-FDG PET and standard intraoperative examination. Sensitivity is defined as the percent of lesions that were found with malignant disease divided by the number of lesions with true presence of malignant disease based on the pathology report. A higher sensitivity will indicate a higher number of lesions found with the respective technique thus providing an initial estimate of the incremental benefit of the PET probe as opposed to the other techniques

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positron Emission Tomography, 18F-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-lucose and Cytoreductive surgery in people with Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 6 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 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 6 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?

Sensitivity (time frame: 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 6 Nov 2017.
