A Study to Demonstrate the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of 18F-FLT in Patients With Solid Tumours or Lymphoma

August 21, 2019 updated by: AHS Cancer Control Alberta

A Contiguous, Sequential Phase I/II Imaging Study of 18F-fluoro-3'-L-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) in Patients With Known or Suspected Carcinoma of the Lung, Breast, Renal Cell, Pancreas, or Brain, and With Gastrointestinal Malignancies, Neuroendocrine Tumours or Lymphoma

The Radiotracer 18F-FLT can non-invasively assess excessive cell growth in PET scan images. Tumour growth rate is a useful indicator of tumour aggression and response to treatment. Imaging and measuring the cell growth with 18F-FLT may be useful in monitoring response to anticancer treatment.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Clinical trial is a combined Phase I/II imaging, open label, single site study in patients with known or suspected carcinoma of the lung, breast, renal cell, pancreas or brain, and with gastrointestinal malignancies, neuroendocrine tumours, or lymphoma. One 18F-FLT PET scan will be performed in 10 Phase I patients, and pre-injection and post-imaging blood work and vital signs will be collected. Up to 5 18F-FLT PET scans will be performed in 170 Phase II patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

16 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Phase I: to determine the safety of 18 F-FLT.
Time Frame: 3 years
3 years
Phase II: To determine general biodistribution of 18F-FLT and correlate 18F-FLT uptake with hENT1 expression and Ki-67 scores.
Time Frame: 3 years
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Phase I: To determine general biodistribution of 19F-FLT
Time Frame: 3 years
3 years
Phase II: to confirm safety of 18F-FLT; to determine the relative uptake of 18F-FLT (SUV, RUS, T/N); and to correlate 18F-FLT uptake with patient outcomes.
Time Frame: 3 years
3 years
Phase II: to correlate 18F-FLT uptake with patient outcomes (treatment response, progression-free survival, overall survival), over the first 12 months of follow-up after completion of tx, subsequently over the remainder of the disease course
Time Frame: 3 years
3 years
