Study summary

To evaluate the potential usefulness of 18F-S16/T807 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic lesions in various Tau-related disease patients.

Read the detailed description

Subjects with various Tau-related disease patients underwent 18F-S16/T807 PET/CT either for an initial assessment or for recurrence detection. Lesions uptake was quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of 18F-S16/T807 PET/CT were calculated.

Study population

(i) adult patients (aged 18 years or order); (ii) patients with suspected or new diagnosed or previously treated malignant tumors (supporting evidence may include MRI, CT, tumor markers and pathology report); (iii) patients who had scheduled Tau PET/CT scan; (iv) patients who were able to provide informed consent (signed by participant, parent or legal representative) and assent according to the guidelines of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee.

Inclusion criteria

- (i) adult patients (aged 18 years or order); (ii) patients with suspected or new diagnosed or previously treated malignant tumors (supporting evidence may include MRI, CT, tumor markers and pathology report); (iii) patients who had scheduled Tau PET/CT scan; (iv) patients who were able to provide (signed by participant, parent or legal representative) and assent according to the guidelines of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

- (i) patients with non-malignant lesions; (ii) patients with pregnancy; (iii) the inability or unwillingness of the research participant, parent or legal representative to provide written .

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

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.
