Per-operating Use of a Probe for Detection of β+

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Neoplasms
Interventions
Radiation: 18F-FDG PET/CT
Registration Number
NCT02666599
Lead Sponsor
University of Lausanne Hospitals
Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the sensibility of the probe Forimtech to detect β+ emission in vivo in humans and its usefulness during elective surgical procedure Hypothesis:The probe Forimtech is able to allow per-surgery detection of tumoral lesions sensible to 18F-FDG and to help in the realization of guided biopsies, minimally invasive surgery or complement of resection of tumors.

The β+ emission detected by the probe Forimtech is correlated to the emission γ detected by the 18F-FDG.PET/CT

Detailed Description

Patients with a malignant neoplasic lesion known or suspected for which a surgery is planned will be presented with the protocol. If inclusion/exclusion criteria are fulfilled all the procedures will be planned. A 18F-FDG PET/CT will be done. Surgery will be conducted within 3 hours after the I.V. injection of 18F-FDG according to the standard procedure applied in the visceral surgery department. During the surgery, emission of β+ from the lesion (s) seen during the PET/CT will be detected with the probe.

Resected pieces will be analysed histologically.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sensibility of the probe β+ for detection per-surgery of hypermetabolic tumoral lesionsday 0

Topography and intensity of detection by the probe of emission of β+ by the lesion(s)

• Intensity of emission of β+ by the non specific background and the adjacent structures

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PET/CT imaging resultsday 0

* 18F-FDG PET imaging: SUVmax of the lesion(s), SUVmean of the lesion(s), ratio SUVmax / SUVbackground

* CT imaging: Topography of / the lesion(s), size of / the lesion(s), distance with the surrounding organs

.Comparison of AUC of the imaging methodswithin 10 days after study procedure

A comparison of the AUC will be realized to determine the superiority of a method compared with the other one, by a non parametric test comparing AUC, ROC curves respectively

Sensibility of the probe β+ for detection per-surgery of hypermetabolic tumoral lesionswithin 10 days after study procedure

Change in every primary interpretation criterion corresponding to the parameters of detection found during the operation will be studied and compared with the analysis of the parameters of the histology (gold standard) through an analysis ROC. They will be also studied compared with the analysis of the parameters PET/ CT
