Interest of a Systematic One-year Monitoring by 18F-FDG PET-CT of Patients in Complete Remission of Malignant Lymphoma

In the study, we aimed to characterize the role of FDG PET/CT surveillance at 12 months of malignant lymphoma in asymptomatic patients after a first complete remission and to define a rational follow-up strategy.

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.

Detailed Description

Most aggressive lymphomas are sensitive to first-line immunochemotherapy and are in first Complete Remission (CR) with initial therapy. CR significantly decreases the risk of recurrence and increases survival. However, a cure is not guaranteed and approximately one third of lymphoma patients have a relapse disease.

FDG PET/CT is a valuable noninvasive tool in the evaluation of lymphomas, especially to differentiate viable lymphoma and fibrosis or necrosis in residual mass.

The majority of relapses are diagnosed based on clinical symptoms reported by patients. And the role of FDG PET/CT for routine surveillance of patients after treatment is controversial.

However, many medical centers use routine follow-up FDG PET/CT in addition to physical examination and laboratory analysis to detect subclinical relapse.

Thus, we can imagine a good timing to routine FDG PET/CT when the tumor burden is small in the asymptomatic window.

Survival improvement for relapse detected by routine follow-up imaging is not clearly established compared to diagnosis by clinical symptoms.

Several studies tried to assess the value of follow-up FDG PET/CT but population, type, timing and duration of surveillance imaging was very heterogeneous.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

Study Population

All patients were examined every 3 to 4 months during the first two years, then every 6 months for three years, including physical examination and blood-test.

One group (group 1) of patients received a systematic routine surveillance FDG PET/CT at 12 months (PET/CT1y) according to hematologist team and the other group (group 2) did not receive routine follow-up FDG PET/CT at 12 months (non PET/CT1y).

None patient was symptomatic the first year. A median follow-up of 24 months at the end of treatment was required.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • first diagnosis of aggressive lymphoma, complete metabolic remission after a first-line of chemotherapy, no relapse in the first year after the end of treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • minor patient, pregnant woman, legal protection (legal curatorship / guardianship), absence of consent

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
role of FDG-PET/CT surveillance at 12months of lymphoma in asymptomatic patient in first complete remission
Time Frame: one day
detection rate of relapse at 1 year and at the end of follow-up
one day
performances FDG-PET/CT 1 year
Time Frame: one day
sensitivity, sensibility, predictive negative value, predictive positive value, accuracy
one day

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
overall survival and progression-free survival
Time Frame: one day
as the time from the end of first-line chemotherapy
one day

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2009

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
