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

Study population: 20 patients with newly diagnosed rectal adenocarcinoma

Who may be able to join

  • A diagnosis of histopathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma.
  • Locally advanced disease as determined by ERUS or pelvic MRI. Endoscopy reports should clearly state both the T and N stage.
  • Patients with cT2N1-3M0 or cT2-4NxM0 will be considered eligible for participation.
  • Age ≥18.
  • Ability to understand a written informed consent document and the willingness to sign it.
  • Tumor must be determined to be surgically resectable. Surgical resection is planned to take place at Univeristy of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
  • Neoadjuvant chemoradiation prior to resection is planned..
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2.

Who cannot join

  • ERUS tumor state of T1.
  • Radiographic evidence of metastatic disease
  • Weight in excess of limitations of the scanner or girth that prohibits entry into the bore of the PET/CT scanner due to size.
  • Any medical condition which impairs the ability to lie flat and without movement for 15 minutes (e.g. cough, severe arthritis, etc.)
  • Prior receipt of any therapy, including local excision, radiation or chemotherapy, for the diagnosed rectal adenocarcinoma.
  • Prior history of pelvic radiation.

  • Uncontrolled hyperglycemia (defined as inability to achieve a glucose of <250 mg/dL at time of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) injection).
  • Impaired renal function (CKD 4 or 5: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mLs/min), which is a contraindication to gadolinium containing contrast.
  • Known allergy to gadolinium containing contrast agents.
  • Contraindication to use of fluoropyrimidines as a radiosensitizing agent.
  • Pregnancy or nursing. Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 72 hours prior to randomization. This is because of the potential teratogenic effects of the involved imaging modalities, radiation, and chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in SUVmax

    To determine whether percent change in SUVmax correlates with the extent of pathologic primary tumor response

    Measured: 2 months

  2. tumor volume

    To determine whether percent change in tumor volume correlates with the extent of pathologic primary tumor response

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rectal Adenocarcinoma, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 13 Aug 2019. 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 stopped early (reason given: Low Accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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 SUVmax (time frame: 2 months). 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 13 Aug 2019.
