About this study

Official title: Pilot Study Evaluating Panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-Panitumumab for Dual-Modality Imaging for Nodal Staging in Head and Neck Cancer

This study evaluates how well panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab work in identifying cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer. Panitumumab-IRDye800 is a drug that contains a dye molecule that fluoresces during surgery to indicate cancerous tissue. 89Zr-panitumumab is a drug that contains a small amount of radiation, which makes it visible in positron emission tomography (PET) scans. PET scans make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the drug is used. Giving panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab to patients with head and neck cancer may help doctors find metastatic lymph nodes better than current methods [positron emission tomography (PET); computed tomography (CT); magnetic imaging resonance (MRI), or combinations].

Read the detailed description

For patients with head and neck cancer, detection of malignant cells within nearby lymph nodes (LNs) is an important measure of the extent and severity of the cancer. LNs are a key immunologic organ involved in overall immune surveillance. Historically, LN or LNs were harvested before the surgery of curative intent, evaluated pathologically, and then tumor status of the harvested LNs were utilized to inform the individual surgical plan. These LNs became known as "sentinel lymph nodes." In recent years, techniques have been developed to utilize peritumoral injection (around the tumor) of tumor labels that could identify tumor in the LNs without biopsy, ie, only LNs that were tumor-positive would be removed. However, in some patients, this technique could be limited by the location of the primary cancer. Effective and sensitive systemically-administered labels would be a significant advancement. The systemically-administered label 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), detected by positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) and/or PET / magnetic imaging resonance (PET/MRI) radiologic scans and representing current regular medical care, has provided improvement in detection of cancer-positive LNs. However, further enhancements may be possible.

Participants with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and scheduled to undergo regular medical care surgery with curative intent, were assigned to 2 study groups on the basis of whether regular medical care scans using 18F-FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI had indicated that cancer was suspected in the lymph nodes (LN+ or cN+), or without suspected cancer in the lymph nodes (LN- or cN0). Following the 18F-FDG, and prior to surgery, 89Zr-panitumumab was systemically administered by intravenous infusion, and a PET-CT imaging scan was conducted. Research imaging will be performed intraoperatively using optical imaging devices and a high-energy gamma probe. Subsequently, the excised tissue will evaluated ex vivo (back table) using radioactive (89Zr-panitumumab) and fluorescence (panitumumab-IRDye800) imaging techniques. Regular medical care surgical excision of the tumor and adjacent LN was conducted on Day 2 to 5. After surgery, patients are followed up at 15 and 30 days.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of zirconium(89Zr)-panitumumab (89Zr-panitumumab) for the detection of tumor-involved regional lymph nodes.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor positive by histological and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by 89Zr-panitumumab labeling.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of panitumumab-IRDye800 for the detection of tumor-involved regional lymph nodes.

II. Determine the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor positive by histological and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by panitumumab-IRDye800 labeling.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection of Tumor in Lymph Nodes by 18F-FDG and 89Zr-panitumumab Labeling

    The ability of 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) to detect tumor in lymph nodes were assessed on the basis of radiologic scans and histopathologic evaluation of excised lymph nodes (LNs). The histopathologic assessment was considered the definitive, regular medical care, assessment. The outcome is reported by study group as the number of LNs that were identified as tumor-positive by 18F-FDG- and 89Zr-panitumumab, stratified by the tumor-positivity as assessed by histopathology, and expressed as the number of LNs that were tumor-positive by both, negative for both, or positive for one and not the other. Results are also provided by study group for the number of LNs that tumor-positive by both 18F-FDG- and 89Zr-panitumumab, negative for both, or positive for one and not the other. The outcome is numbers without dispersion

    Measured: up to 5 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sensitivity and Specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab, 18F-FDG, and Panitumumab-IRDye800

    The value of 89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 as a label for cancer cells (radiologic or fluorescent, respectively), was assessed by the sensitivity and specificity for the detection of tumor cells in lymph nodes near the tumor. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), an established agent for this use, was also assessed. Sensitivity was assessed as the "true positive rate" of paired measurements, expressed as the proportion (ratio) of the number of specimens positive by histopathology also positive by the test method (test:histopathology). Specificity is the "true negative rate", the proportion of the number of specimens negative by histopathology also negative by the test method. The closer the proportions are to 1, the greater the sensitivity or specificity. The outcome is reported as the sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab, panitumumab-IRDye800, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). The outcome results are ratios, a number without dispersion.

    Measured: up to 5 days

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 9 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 May 2023. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Detection of Tumor in Lymph Nodes by 18F-FDG and 89Zr-panitumumab Labeling (time frame: up to 5 days). 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 May 2023.
