Trial Outcomes & Findings for Imaging Studies of Kidney Cancer Using 18F-VM4-037 (NCT NCT01712685)

NCT ID: NCT01712685

Last Updated: 2017-01-11

Results Overview

The primary outcome measure will be assessed from quantitative measurements (e.g., correlate immunohistochemistry (IHC) results with standardized uptake values (SUVs) from positron emission tomography (PET) images) of the level of uptake of tumor and non tumor tissues into each target lesion, calculated as standardized uptake values. Normal renal parenchyma and muscle are both "non-tumor" tissue.

Renal Cell Carcinoma
This is a single arm, phase II trial of a novel radiotracer that is being evaluated for use in patients with kidney cancer. This study is designed to evaluate the imaging characteristics of this drug for detecting specific types of kidney cancer. This is a single administration trial of a single dose of the drug (18F-VM4-037: Drug being tested for use in cancer imaging studies; it may help tumor tissue show up more clearly during scans.) followed by imaging to assess distribution of the drug in normal and tumor tissue.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 58 days

The primary outcome measure will be assessed from quantitative measurements (e.g., correlate immunohistochemistry (IHC) results with standardized uptake values (SUVs) from positron emission tomography (PET) images) of the level of uptake of tumor and non tumor tissues into each target lesion, calculated as standardized uptake values. Normal renal parenchyma and muscle are both "non-tumor" tissue.

2 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Dynamic imaging was performed for the first 45 minutes post injection and whole body imaging was obtained at 60 minutes post injection. Tumors were surgically excised or biopsied within 4 weeks of imaging.

Mean SUV for all target lesions was assessed by lesion based analysis to obtain SUV mean (the average SUV value within the lesion contour).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 21 days prior to enrollment until closure of the study, approximately 14 months.

Population: 5/11 participants had germline VHL testing with 4 having identifiable mutations of the VHL gene. 6/11 participants did not have germline VHL mutation testing due to low index of clinical suspicion although 2/6 had germline analysis for other gene mutations linked to familial renal cell carcinoma conditions.

Germline VHL mutation testing was performed using Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratories.
