Early Diagnosis of Pseudoprogression Using 11C-Methionine PET-MRI After Concomitant Radiochemotherapy Treatment for Glioblastoma.

Study Purpose

Pseudoprogression is a phenomenon related to post-treatment rearrangements (including radiation necrosis). It appears early in the first year after treatment and accounts for 30 to 50% of patients followed with glioblastoma. On MRI (current gold standard with international therapeutic response evaluation criteria RANO 2010), pseudoprogression is manifested by a progression of morphological abnormalities (contrast enhancement, FLAIR hypersignal) and can simulate tumor recurrence, even though the corticosteroid improved or kept clinical symptoms stabilized. In view of prognosis, the current diagnostic tools have not enough diagnosis accuracy for differentiation between pseudo-progression and early tumor recurrence, and are based on MRI retrospective analysis (2-3 months after). Recurrence of glioblastoma, is characterized by a higher amino acid metabolism than pseudoprogression, also 11C-Methionine (11C-MET), positron emitting radiotracer, showed promising results to differentiate these two entities. To date, hybrid 11C-MET PET-MRI studies remains limited to small sample size (a few dozen patients), and none focuses exclusively on glioblastoma. Hypothesis of our study is that 11C-MET PET-MRI may be performed as a first-line MRI for suspected pseudoprogression and may changes therapeutic decision making and also patient prognosis. The main objective is to evaluate the performance of hybrid PET-MRI imaging with 11C-MET to differentiate pseudoprogression from glioblastoma recurrence in patients treated with surgery and radiochemotherapy, compared to multimodality MRI).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03739333
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
