About this study

Official title: Evaluation de O-(2-[18F]-Fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine (or FET), a New Tracer PET (Positron Emission Tomography) , in the Diagnosis of Low Grade Glioma

Determine the overall discriminatory ability of FET PET in the diagnosis of glioma grade II (referring to the current diagnostic gold standard represented by the histopathology exam of a tumor sample).

Read the detailed description

Low-grade glioma is a malignant tumor of young adults (12.5% of gliomas, incidence of 0.99 / 100,000). Median survival, linked to anaplastic transformation is estimated between 7 and 10 years, with great individual variability in the rate of evolution. The morphological MRI, standard assessment tool at present, suffers from many limitations, especially concerning the positive diagnosis, the targeting of surgical biopsies and tumor delineation which is essential to treatment The study design is a validation study of a new diagnostic procedure. This study is prospective, no randomized, multicenter involving 10 centers (Toulouse University Hospital, Caen, Tours, AP-HP Pitie Salpetriere, Lille, Angers, Rennes, Nîmes, Nantes and Nancy). Will be eligible patients in whom the diagnosis of grade II glioma is suspected according to clinical data and MRI, after evaluation and multidisciplinary meeting at which histological confirmation is scheduled within a maximum period of one month.

FET PET scans will be performed before any procedure or surgical treatment and the data will be merged with MRI. The gold standard is histological examination or biopsy material, or complete resection of the tumor. A minimum of three biopsies per patient will be realized. The pathologist will not see the results of PET-FET 100 patients will be enrolled over a period of 5 years. The area under the curve will be determined on a non-parametric for each increase in the value of PET-FET at near 10th. The sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive values will be estimated with confidence intervals at 95%. Factors to be considered in the analysis, the intrasubject variability related to the fact that several positive and negative results are found for each subject included. The concordance between the data-FET PET and MRI will be sought.

The expected benefits are a better diagnostic ability of PET-FET which results in a specific targeting of biopsies with fewer tests to false negatives and false positives, thus a better diagnostic yield of this invasive procedure. Furthermore, the characteristics of this test applied to all of the tumor may help to better define the limit between healthy and tumor areas and thus reduce the radiation fields to the volumes strictly necessary. These volumes are currently defined on the results of the only morphological MRI and can be further clarified

  • O-(2[18F]FLUOROETHYL)-L-TYROSINEDrug

    Also called FET imaging

    Patient 0.1 mCi / kg (maximum 185 MBq) of FET will be injected through the venous catheter. At the same time, will trigger a PET 3D dynamic acquisition of 60 minutes (5 pictures 1 minute and 11 images of 5 minutes)

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the overall discriminating capacity of FET-PET in the diagnosis of glioma grade II (referring to current diagnostic gold standard represented by the histopathological examination of a tumor sample).

    Measured: TEP and MRI Imagy 1 month before surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. - Determine the threshold with the highest positive likelihood ratio. - Determine the threshold with the highest positive likelihood ratio.

    Measured: 1 month before surgery

  2. Assess the concordance of the data-FET PET and MRI morphological data reported to histological diagnostic

    Measured: 1 month before surgery

  3. Evaluate the positive and negative predictive value of this threshold in order to improve the delineation of the tumor area

    Measured: 1 month before surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing O-(2[18F]FLUOROETHYL)-L-TYROSINE in people with Low Grade Glioma, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 3 sites in France.

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 7 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 19 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

Determine the overall discriminating capacity of FET-PET in the diagnosis of glioma grade II (referring to current diagnostic gold standard represented by the histopathological examination of a tumor sample). (time frame: TEP and MRI Imagy 1 month before surgery). 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 19 Aug 2015.
