About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Use of Intra-operative Molecular Imaging With BetaScope and in Vitro Measurement With LightPath Specimen Analyser Devices in Gastrointestinal Tumour Surgery

This study will evaluate the performance of the EnLightTM and LightPathTM Imaging Systems in detecting tumour lesions in patients with gastric, pancreas, bile duct or duodenal cancer.

EnLightTM will be used to detect positron emission and the LightPathTM system to detect Cerenkov Luminescence. Both are emitted by the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) agent.

The study will also evaluate the patient safety and radiation safety of the EnLightTM, and the safety for the device operators and surgical staff of the LightPathTM Imaging System.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study that is prospective, open-label, single-centre in nature in patients with gastric, pancreas, bile duct or duodenal cancer in whom tumour excision surgery is indicated.

Patients who give written informed consent will be screened for the study (Visit 1). Patients will undergo a positron emission tomography (PET) whole body scan. Screening assessments, including the PET scan, must be performed no less than 60 days before surgery and may be performed on the day of surgery.

On the day of surgery (Visit 2), subject's blood glucose level will be measured. Subjects with a blood glucose level < 12 mmol/l will receive an intravenous injection of 2-5 Mega Becquerel/kg (MBq/kg), up to a maximum 300 MBq of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) prior to surgery.

During surgery and not less than 120 minutes after injection of FDG, the primary lesion will be imaged using the EnLightTM system to determine margin status.

Gastrointestinal tumour excision surgery will then be performed according to standard of care. The surgical cavity and the lymph nodes will be imaged by the EnLightTM system to establish whether other radioactive tissue remain. These results will not influence any surgical or clinical decision-making, which will remain as standard of care. The resected tumour excision specimen will be imaged by the LightPathTM Imaging System. The resected tumour excision specimen will, in addition, be analysed according to standard of care pathology. The surgeon and surgical staff will be monitored for external exposure to ionizing radiation by means of dosimeters, and position sensors during surgery.

Patients will be followed-up (Visit 3) within a 2 - 14 day window after the end of surgery for adverse events (AEs). Those related to the use of the investigational devices, or the PET imaging agent will be identified as such.

What participants receive

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

  • The marketed product 2-5 MBq/kg 18F-fluorodeoxyglucoseDrug

    Also called FDG

    The FDG is injected at least 120 minutes prior to the imaging by the EnLightTM and LightPathTM Imaging Systems

  • EnLightTMDevice

    The surgical cavity and the resected lymph nodes (if any) will be imaged by the EnLightTM system to establish whether radioactive tissue remains after surgery.

  • LightPathTM Imaging SystemDevice

    The resected tumour excision specimens and the resected lymph nodes (if any)will be imaged by CLI and by WLI to establish whether they contain radioactive tissue.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EnLightTM and LightPathTM Imaging Systems armPatients will first be injected intravenously with 2-5 MBq/kg, up to a maximum 300 MBq of the marketed product 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and after this undergo tumour excision surgery according to standard of care. The surgical cavity will be imaged by the EnLightTM system and the tumour excision specimen will be imaged by both the EnLightTM and LightPathTM Imaging Systems. The EnLightTM and LightPathTM Imaging Systems results will not influence any surgical or clinical decision-making. The tumour excision specimen will be analysed according to standard of care pathology. Patients will be followed-up (Visit 3) 2-14 days after the end of surgery for adverse events (AEs).

What is being measured

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

  1. The location of PET imaging agent as measured by beta particle detection

    The EnLightTM will be used for determining the number of lesions, their location and margin status, in the surgical cavity including within surrounding tissue, and lymph nodes. The EnLightTM is a beta particle detector used for imaging the location of the PET imaging agent. It works both in a hot-spot mode, to localise areas with high beta particle detection signal from the PET imaging agent, and in an imaging mode that allows video imaging of areas where the PET imaging agent has accumulated.

    Measured: Intraoperatively (during the single session of surgery on Day 0)

  2. The location of PET imaging agent as measured by the LightPathTM Imaging System

    The LightPathTM Imaging System will be used for determining the margin status of lesions and the metastatic involvement of lymph nodes.

    Measured: Intraoperatively (during the single session of surgery on Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The number of lesions by histopathology

    Number of lesions according to standard of care histopathology.

    Measured: Expected on average Day 10 after surgery

  2. The number of metastatic lymph nodes by histopathology

    The number of metastatic lymph nodes according to standard of care histopathology.

    Measured: Expected on average Day 10 after surgery

  3. The extent of resection margins by histopathology

    Extent of resection margins according to standard of care histopathology.

    Measured: Expected on average Day 10 after surgery

  4. Ease of use measured by questionnaire

    Ease of use measured by study-specific questionnaire

    Measured: At the end of imaging on Day 0

  5. Radiation exposure

    Radiological dose in microsieverts as measured by dosimeters worn by operating room staff

    Measured: At the time of discharge to the ward after surgery on Day 0

  6. Number of participants with adverse events

    Patients will be followed-up until Visit 3, 2-14 days after the end of surgery on Day 0 for adverse events

    Measured: Visit 3, at day 3-15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer, run by Lightpoint Medical Limited at 1 site in Hungary.

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 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 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 Hungary. 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?

The location of PET imaging agent as measured by beta particle detection (time frame: Intraoperatively (during the single session of surgery on Day 0)). 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 26 Jan 2017.
