About this study

Official title: Study of F18 Fluciclovine PET CT for Assessment of Glioblastoma Tumor Volume and Radiation Response

This early phase I trial studies how well F18 fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in assessing tumor volume and radiation therapy response in patients with glioblastoma undergoing surgery. Radioactive imaging agents, such as F18 fluciclovine, used during PET/CT scan may help measure tumor size compared to standard of care magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents in patients receiving radiation therapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare fluciclovine F18 (F18 fluciclovine) PET CT for tumor volume assessment compared to T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and T1 post contrast magnetic resonance (MR) brain imaging.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess changes in F18 fluciclovine defined disease with surgery and radiation.

II. To assess the relationship between post-radiation enhancing brain tissue and F18 fluciclovine activity.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the association between results from pathology and F18 fluciclovine, T2 FLAIR, and T1 post-contrast MR brain imaging.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive fluciclovine F18 intravenously (IV) and undergo 4 PET/CT scans over 10 minutes paired with standard of care MRI within 14 days prior to initial maximal tumor resection, within 7 days prior to initiation of radiation therapy, 28 days after the completion of radiation therapy, and 6 months after the completion of radiation therapy.

After completion of study, patients will be followed up at 3 and 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor volume

    Will be assessed with fluciclovine F18 (F18 fluciclovine) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT). The three volumes measured (amino acid hypermetabolic volume [AHV], T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR] and T1 contrast [T1C]) will be compared to each other for each patient, and plotted as boxplots, both raw (as mL) and as normalized values (to the T1C volume) to facilitate comparisons between patients.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes in F18 fluciclovine defined disease with surgery and radiation

    Will compare tumor volumes measured by this method between the initial time point and the three follow-up time points within patients using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months

  2. Post-radiation enhancing brain tissue

    To assess the relationship between post-radiation enhancing brain tissue and F18 fluciclovine activity, will use rank correlation analysis.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Computed Tomography, Fluciclovine F18 and Positron Emission Tomography in people with Glioblastoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 2 inclusion and 16 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 9 Oct 2024. 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 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 volume (time frame: Up to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03926507, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Oct 2024.
