Brief summary

The goal of this phase 2 study trial is to evaluate the utility of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG used before and after treatment to diagnose, predict, and evaluate response to therapy in patients with a wide variety of metastatic cancers.

Detailed description

OUTLINE: Patients are evaluated with a PET/CT scan using the radiolabel 18F-FSPG \[18F-(S)-4-(3-fluoropropyl)-L-glutamic acid\] or 18F-FDG (\[18F\]-fluorodeoxyglucose), before and after therapeutic treatment. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Uptake of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG in patients with biopsy-proven cancer will be evaluated and compared to the uptake of 18F-FDG, before and after therapy (non-specified) in the same group of patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: * Compare the agreement of the clinical assessment for cancer status between 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG. * Safety and tolerability of 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Standard Uptake Value Maximum (SUVmax) Post-treatmentBaseline and up to 2 yearsStandard Uptake Values (SUVs) for the radiotracers labels 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG were assessed in tumor tissues of study participants, before (baseline), and after therapeutic treatment. Time frame was specified by protocol as at baseline, and at the time of clinical assessments during individual patient regular medical care. The time of the post-treatment assessment was not otherwise explicitly defined but could be anytime within 2 years. The outcome is reported as the difference of means from baseline to post-treatment (a number without dispersion), for all lesions for which an SUVmax value was assessed. A negative result indicates less uptake of radiotracer suggesting a small volume of tumor.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Standard Uptake Value Maximum (SUVmax) Post-treatment

Standard Uptake Values (SUVs) for the radiotracers labels 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG were assessed in tumor tissues of study participants, before (baseline), and after therapeutic treatment. Time frame was specified by protocol as at baseline, and at the time of clinical assessments during individual patient regular medical care. The time of the post-treatment assessment was not otherwise explicitly defined but could be anytime within 2 years. The outcome is reported as the difference of means from baseline to post-treatment (a number without dispersion), for all lesions for which an SUVmax value was assessed. A negative result indicates less uptake of radiotracer suggesting a small volume of tumor.

Time frame: Baseline and up to 2 years

Population: Locations (ie, of lesions) that did not produce an SUVmax value either before or after treatment are omitted from the mean. Note that an analysis mean of differences would have a dispersion, but an analysis for difference of means is simply the delta (a number) between 2 measures of central tendency (mean), and does not have a dispersion.

Secondary

Change From Baseline in Lesion Size Post-treatment, by 18F-FSPG or 18F-FDGs

Lesion size in centimeters (cm) were assessed in 2 dimensions from the computed tomography (CT) component of PET/CT and the area in cm2 calculated for lesion locations at baseline and after treatment. Time frame was specified by protocol as at baseline, and at the time of clinical assessments during individual patient regular medical care. The time of the post-treatment assessment was not otherwise explicitly defined but could be anytime within 2 years. The outcome is reported the difference in area in cm² for each lesion (a number without dispersion).

Time frame: Baseline and up to 2 years

Population: * Lesion locations not detected both before and after treatment are reported as N/A for 2-D area (in the effect that an assessment could be made with the other radiolabel).~* Lesions detected at either before or after treatment only are reported as the difference from zero.
