11C-acetate for Treatment Response After Radiotherapy for HCC

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02549755
Lead Sponsor
Justin Sims
Brief Summary

It is thought that PET of the abdomen with 11C Acetate will provide new information regarding whether or not patient's have benefited from radiotherapy. To test this theory, the project will evaluate the potential of 11C acetate to serve as an earlier and/or better signal of treatment success.

GroupInterventionDescription
Radiotherapy treatment monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma11C-AcetateAll patients enrolled in the trial will undergo 3 PET/CT studies using 11C-acetate at the injected radiotracer. The patients will be imaged prior to their radiation therapy and at 1 and 3 months following the completion of their radiation therapy. They will also undergo an MRI scan of the liver at each of those time points.
Primary Outcome Measures

To Compare Changes in 11C-acetate Uptake at One and Three Months Following Radiotherapy With Pre-treatment Uptake of 11C-acetateAt three months

The single patient enrolled in the trial showed no uptake in the liver tumor on the pretreatment scan and was dropped from the trial.
