Evaluation de O-(2-[18F]-Fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine, a New Tracer PET, in the Diagnosis of Low Grade Glioma (PET-FETII)

Evaluation de O-(2-[18F]-Fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine (or FET), a New Tracer PET (Positron Emission Tomography) , in the Diagnosis of Low Grade Glioma

Determine the overall discriminatory ability of FET PET in the diagnosis of glioma grade II (referring to the current diagnostic gold standard represented by the histopathology exam of a tumor sample).

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Low Grade Glioma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: O-(2[18F]FLUOROETHYL)-L-TYROSINE

Detailed Description

Low-grade glioma is a malignant tumor of young adults (12.5% of gliomas, incidence of 0.99 / 100,000). Median survival, linked to anaplastic transformation is estimated between 7 and 10 years, with great individual variability in the rate of evolution. The morphological MRI, standard assessment tool at present, suffers from many limitations, especially concerning the positive diagnosis, the targeting of surgical biopsies and tumor delineation which is essential to treatment The study design is a validation study of a new diagnostic procedure. This study is prospective, no randomized, multicenter involving 10 centers (Toulouse University Hospital, Caen, Tours, AP-HP Pitie Salpetriere, Lille, Angers, Rennes, Nîmes, Nantes and Nancy). Will be eligible patients in whom the diagnosis of grade II glioma is suspected according to clinical data and MRI, after evaluation and multidisciplinary meeting at which histological confirmation is scheduled within a maximum period of one month.

FET PET scans will be performed before any procedure or surgical treatment and the data will be merged with MRI. The gold standard is histological examination or biopsy material, or complete resection of the tumor. A minimum of three biopsies per patient will be realized. The pathologist will not see the results of PET-FET 100 patients will be enrolled over a period of 5 years. The area under the curve will be determined on a non-parametric for each increase in the value of PET-FET at near 10th. The sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive values will be estimated with confidence intervals at 95%. Factors to be considered in the analysis, the intrasubject variability related to the fact that several positive and negative results are found for each subject included. The concordance between the data-FET PET and MRI will be sought.

The expected benefits are a better diagnostic ability of PET-FET which results in a specific targeting of biopsies with fewer tests to false negatives and false positives, thus a better diagnostic yield of this invasive procedure. Furthermore, the characteristics of this test applied to all of the tumor may help to better define the limit between healthy and tumor areas and thus reduce the radiation fields to the volumes strictly necessary. These volumes are currently defined on the results of the only morphological MRI and can be further clarified
