Study summary

This study will assess the potential of the 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD for the evaluation of neoangiogenesis in patients followed for a neoplastic pathology and for whom a18F-FDG (or 18F-FET for gliomas) is indicated for initial extension evaluation or suspicion of recurrent tumor.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess the value of 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD PET/CT for detection of neoangiogenesis at level of neoplastic processes, in patients, compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT (tumors other than glioma) or 18F-FET PET/CT (patients affected by glioma) and to determine the respective diagnostic contribution of every technique.

Every patient will undergo a routine 18F-FDG (or 18F-FET) PET/CT followed by a 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD PET / CT specific for the study within the next 7 days.

(each image procedure duration: 2h)

The criteria of primary evaluation for each of the techniques will be defined:

  • On the images of PET/CT: SUVmax, SUVmoyen, VOI ( mL ), SUV41 % ratio [mean SUV of pixels ≥ 41 % of the SUVmax] of lesions / SUV
  • On the images of CT: size of the lesions measured in 3D (axial, coronal and sagittal), density in Hounsfield unit (HU)

The 18F-FDG/18F-FET and 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD PET / CTs will be analyzed at first separately then will be compared according to the methods described in the analysis

  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding
  • Age \<18 years
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparison of each method of imaging for detection of tumors

    To compare the capacity of each of the techniques and their combination to detect tumors, to determine the composition of these tumors (neoangiogenesis, metabolism, necrosis), their extension, the changes due to treatment

    Time frame: within 10 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. ROC analysis and comparison of areas under the curve

    A ROC analysis will be realized as well as a comparison of AUCs, to determine the superiority of a method compared to the other one, using a parametric test comparing of the AUC curves and ROC curves respectively by an established algorithm. The criteria of interpretation and positivity will be defined in a standard way on the images 18F-FDG / 18F-FET and 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD.

    Time frame: Within 10 days

  2. Comparison 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD to standard routine extension imaging assessments

    The sensibility for detection of tumor by the 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD will be assessed and compared with the standard routine extension assessements including 18F-FDG PET/CT or18F-FET PET/CT, CT or any other complementary exam (US, MRI)

    Time frame: within 10 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 20, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
