Combination PET With 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and 18 F-choline in Patient With HCC (PET-HCC01)

November 15, 2023 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Prospective Study Evaluating the Combination of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) With 18F-FDG and 18 F-Fluorocholine for Optimization of Staging and Treatment Modification in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The objective of this protocol is to obtain a better match between the actual staging and the proposed treatment in order to avoid inadequate treatments at risk of complications. In patients with HCC classified as BCLC A to C, the combination of 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET- TomoDensitoMetry (TDM) with conventional imaging would clinically significantly modify the therapeutic strategy initially planned by conventional imaging alone. This change in therapeutic strategy would be from curative to palliative treatment or from loco-regional palliative to systemic palliative treatment. 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET-CT scans will be performed after inclusion of the patient in the study and prior to multidisciplinary consultation meeting for treatment discussion.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of death from cancer worldwide, developing on cirrhosis in 90% of cases. The prognosis of patients with HCC remains poor with an overall survival of around 10% at 5 years for all tumor stages combined. The diagnosis of HCC relies on non-invasive conventional imaging criteria (computed tomography [CT] and/or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and/or histology. Conventional imaging (liver CT and/or MRI and lung CT) enables HCC staging according to the Barcelona Clinical Liver Cancer (BCLC) system, linking each stage to therapeutic modalities. Accurate staging with reliable imaging methods is therefore crucial to determine the best treatment strategy. The principal objective is to demonstrate that the identification of new tumor lesions by an experimental procedure combining 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine PET-CT scans in patients with HCC, modifies the initially planned therapeutic strategy of a curative treatment palliative treatment, from locoregional palliative treatment to systemic palliative treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Demonstrate that the identification of new tumour lesions by an experimental procedure combining PET-TDMs with 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine in patients with HCC modifies the initially planned therapeutic strategy
Time Frame: through multidisciplinary concertation meeting an average of 3 days
The primary objective of the study will be evaluated by the proportion of patients with a first diagnosis of HCC whose treatment initially planned in a multidisciplinary consultation meeting is modified by the combined use of PET-TDMs at 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluorocholine in combination with conventional imaging compared to conventional imaging alone.
through multidisciplinary concertation meeting an average of 3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
