About this study

Official title: Whether 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT Scan Can Predict the Efficacy and Adverse Events of Apatinib in Patients With Malignancies.

This is an open-label, single arm study to explore whether 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT scan can predict the efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in patients with malignancies.

Integrin αvβ3 has been shown to play an important role in angiogenesis and up-regulated obviously in various types of tumor cells and activated endothelial cells. The arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) tripeptide sequence can bind to integrin αvβ3 with high affinity and specificity. The 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 will highly combine with αvβ3, and thus will monitor the antiangiogenic status.In the current study, investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility of 18F-RGD PET/CT in monitoring efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in malignancies.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single arm study to explore whether 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-RGD PET/CT) scan can predict the efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in patients with malignancies.

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is the process of generating neovascularization from preexisting vessels. It can promote tumor growth and metastasis by providing nutrients and oxygen. Integrin αvβ3 has been shown to play an important role in angiogenesis and up-regulated obviously in various types of tumor cells and activated endothelial cells. Since the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) tripeptide sequence can bind to integrin αvβ3 with high affinity and specificity, RGD PET/CT may be helpful to evaluate the biological and metabolic activity status during angiogenesis. However, 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT as response biomarker for antiangiogenic therapy has not been fully proved and is still without universal understanding according to current publications. Apatinib (YN968D1) is the first orally antiangiogenic drug targeting VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase.In the current study, investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility of 18F-RGD PET/CT in monitoring efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in malignancies. Patients confirmed malignancies histopathologically will be prospectively enrolled in the study. All patients provided written informed consent prior to enrollment. Patients will receive apatinib therapy, and undergo 18F-RGD PET/CT scans berore and after first cycle of therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • ApatinibDrug

    Also called YN968D1

    Patients will accept apatinib therapy and undergo baseline 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT scans of the whole body after having met all eligibility criterias.

Study groups in NCT03384511
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Apatinib & RGD PET/CTExperimentalAll of the patients will receive apatinib at oral dose of 250 mg twice daily (500 mg/day) at least 30 days.One treatment cycle is defined as 4 weeks.18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT scan will be performed berore and after one cycle of therapy. Treatment interruptions or dose reductions to 250 mg/day will be allowed for the management of adverse events. The maximum allowable period of treatment interruption is 1 week during each treatment cycle, and the dose should be re-escalated to 500 mg/day after adverse events mitigation. Treatment will not stop until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or patients' request for withdrawal from the study.
Receives: Drug: Apatinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor response defined by RECIST criteria

    Tumor response will be evaluated as complete response or partial response or stable disease or PD according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria.

    Measured: At 1 month of the study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Days from the start of therapy to disease progression or death due to any cause

    Progression free survival (evaluated by RECIST criteria), defined as the interval from start of therapy to investigator-assessed progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first or lost of follow-up.

    Measured: At 6 months of the study

  2. Days from the start of therapy to death due to any cause

    Overall survival is the time interval from the start of therapy to death due to any reason or lost of follow-up.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE

    Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Apatinib in people with Malignancies and Stomach Cancer, run by Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute at 1 site in China.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2018. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Tumor response defined by RECIST criteria (time frame: At 1 month of the study). 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 20 Feb 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
