Trial summary

This pilot clinical trial studies gallium Ga 68-edotreotide (68Ga-DOTATOC) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in finding brain tumors in younger patients. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT imaging, may help find and diagnose brain tumors. Read more about this study

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 6 months to 29 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients presenting with brain tumors will be eligible for this study
  • Eligible subjects must be able and willing to undergo the procedures of the study
  • Electronic version of pre-surgery MRI must be available for co-registration purposes
  • Fresh frozen tumor, and/or paraffin block of biopsy or resected tumor is recommended, but not required to determine expression of somatostatin receptors in tumor by immunohistochemistry and/or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)

About this study

This pilot clinical trial studies gallium Ga 68-edotreotide (68Ga-DOTATOC) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in finding brain tumors in younger patients. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT imaging, may help find and diagnose brain tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine if 68Ga-DOTATOC (gallium Ga 68-edotreotide) PET when combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will differentiate embryonal tumors such as medulloblastoma and supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) from the low and high grade gliomas.

II. To determine if 68Ga-DOTATOC PET will aid in the identification of residual tumor post operatively in those patients who were 68Ga-DOTATOC PET positive prior to surgery.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT at baseline and 1-30 days after surgery.

Being tested
gallium Ga 68-edotreotide, positron emission tomography, computed tomography, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Neuroma, Acoustic, Astrocytoma, Ependymoma, Meningioma, Oligodendroglioma, Choroid Plexus Neoplasms, Craniopharyngioma, Neuroectodermal Tumors, Primitive

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in standardized uptake value (SUV) uptake after gallium Ga 68-edotreotide

    The endpoint is a binary outcome (+ or -) of SUV uptake (after gallium Ga 68-edotreotide) and a binary outcome confirmed at biopsy (+ or -).

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days

  2. Proportion of discordance and concordance between gallium Ga 68-edotreotide and biopsy

    Measured: Up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing gallium Ga 68-edotreotide, positron emission tomography and computed tomography in people with Acoustic Schwannoma and Adult Anaplastic Astrocytoma, run by Sue O'Dorisio 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 4 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in standardized uptake value (SUV) uptake after gallium Ga 68-edotreotide (time frame: Baseline up to 30 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Apr 2017.
