NCT00602043 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

F-18 16 Alpha-Fluoroestradiol-Labeled Positron Emission Tomography in Predicting Response to First-Line Hormone Therapy in Patients With Stage IV Breast Cancer

Draft scope assessment: unclear. Attached because the study's own record describes metastatic disease. The study was not selected for this indication by its sponsor, and its eligibility has not been reconciled against this page in full. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

primary · POSTED

Patients were expected to start endocrine therapy within 2 weeks of the FES PET scan. Response assessment was evaluated at 3 and 6 months. For patients with at least one site of measurable disease \[per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST, version 1.1)\], size-based response criteria were used to assess response. For patients without disease evaluable by RECIST 1.1, largely patients with bone-dominant metastatic breast cancer, serial FDG PET scanning was used to determine response. A decline in the FDG PET SUV (standard uptake value) of 30% or more was considered as response and an increase of 20% or more was considered to be progressive disease (PD). The initial (baseline) FES uptake was compared to clinical benefit (PD versus other outcome at 6 months).

secondary · POSTED

FES SUV prior to endocrine treatment (dichotomized and as a continuous predictor) will also be tested as predictor of clinical benefit. Patients were expected to start endocrine therapy within 2 weeks of the FES PET scan. Response assessment was evaluated at 3 and 6 months. The initial (baseline) FES uptake was compared to clinical benefit (PD versus other outcome at 6 months).

secondary · POSTED

FES SUV prior to endocrine treatment (dichotomized and as a continuous predictor) will also be tested as predictor of time to progression. Analysis will be conducted using (respectively) logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression. This will include univariate analysis of FES and other predictive measures (ER/PgR expression, serum sex steroid levels), followed by an exploratory multivariate analysis combining FES SUV with other measures showing predictive capability univariate analysis.

secondary · POSTED

Graphical and numerical studies of bivariate relationships will be examined, as well as factors (i.e., tumor size, tumor location, patient age) to explain concurrence, lack of concurrence, and sources of measurement error for measurements of ER function.

Data were not collected due to variations in reporting methods for ER assays.
