About
Approximately 60 patients will be enrolled with highly suspected lung cancer, or head and neck cancer. The patients must also be starting radiotherapy or a chemoradiotherapy regimen (except with 5-fluorouracil). The patients will undergo 3 visits. One screening, one pre therapy PET/CT imaging visit, and one (3-5 weeks after the start of therapy) post PET/CT imaging visit. This study will evaluate the FLT and FDG images for tumor proliferation rates for early assessment of tumor response to radiation or chemo-radiation combo.
Full description
PHASE: II/III
OBJECTIVES:
Primary: To investigate the clinical value of serial quantitative [F-18] FLT positron image assessment of tumor proliferation rates for early assessment of tumor response to radiation or chemoradiotherapy regimens (except with 5-fluorouracil) in comparison to serial quantitative [F-18] FDG images
Secondary: To gain additional clinical information and experience with [F-18]FLT to guide the design of a future, pivotal, Phase III trial where changes in tumor proliferation from pre-treatment baseline values can be used as a early indicator of response to therapy regimens.
DESIGN: Open label, nonrandomized, uncontrolled, single group assignment
DURATION: Pre treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan following a clinical [F-18] FDG PET scan followed by post treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan and a post treatment, clinical [F-18] FDG PET scan at 4 weeks (±1 week) to monitor radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.
PROCEDURES: Informed consent, collection of demographic information, medical history, physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, concomitant medication collection, monitor adverse events, pre treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan and post treatment [F-18] FLT PET scan
SUBJECTS: Approximately 60 patients will be enrolled with confirmed lung cancer, or head and neck cancer. The patients must also be starting radiotherapy or a chemoradiotherapy regimen (except with 5-fluorouracil) to be eligible. This allows for approximately 40 evaluable patients to complete this study at approximately four to eight sites and conducted in the United States.
