Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase II Trial of 64Cu-ATSM PET/CT in Cervical Cancer (NCT NCT00794339)

NCT ID: NCT00794339

Last Updated: 2023-08-14

Results Overview

Progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated every 3 months for first 2 years and every 6 months during year 3 to determine PFS at 3years. Cu64-ATSM Uptake measured within 14 days of baseline Uptake is a measure of activity within a tumor 1. the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax = tracer uptake in ROI / (injected activity / patient weight)) 2. Tumor-to-Muscle uptake ratio (T/M, An FDG-PET/CT-guided circular region of interest of 1.0-1.5 cm in diameter is drawn around the most intense region of the primary tumor to calculate the maximum uptake within the region. In addition, regions of interest are drawn on bilateral gluteal muscle groups on at least 3 slices, and the mean uptake is calculated. The T/M is the ratio of these measurements.)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: every 3 months for first 2 years and every 6 months during year 3, up to 3 years

Population: As a fully paired analysis, all participants were evaluated in each group. 21 participants progressed by year 3 and 38 participants were progression free at year 3.

Progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated every 3 months for first 2 years and every 6 months during year 3 to determine PFS at 3years. Cu64-ATSM Uptake measured within 14 days of baseline Uptake is a measure of activity within a tumor 1. the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax = tracer uptake in ROI / (injected activity / patient weight)) 2. Tumor-to-Muscle uptake ratio (T/M, An FDG-PET/CT-guided circular region of interest of 1.0-1.5 cm in diameter is drawn around the most intense region of the primary tumor to calculate the maximum uptake within the region. In addition, regions of interest are drawn on bilateral gluteal muscle groups on at least 3 slices, and the mean uptake is calculated. The T/M is the ratio of these measurements.)

Population: 52 observations were used for this analysis. 7 participants did not have FDG PET data available for analysis.

Complete metabolic response determined by FDG PET/CT performed 3 months after completion of chemoradiation By definition, metabolic response (as defined by NCI Concept ID: C3897320. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/medgen/856914) is "the disappearance of metabolic tumor activity in target and non-target lesions, marked by a decrease in tumor standardized uptake value to the level of surrounding normal tissue (tumor uptake/normal uptake = \~1)"

Population: Two participants were off study before the follow up period began (one death and one withdrawal) and were not assessed for disease status - thus only 57 of the 59 participants were evaluated for this outcome.

To determine if higher 64Cu ATSM uptake is associated with earlier primary cervical tumor recurrence images were taken every 3 months for first 2 years and every 6 months during year 3, up to 3 years and evaluated for primary cervical tumor recurrence

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline

The Ratio of Tissue to Muscle (T/M) agent uptake measured at baseline was used as a predictor of Hypoxia Tumor Hypoxia was assessed with GLUT-1 markers using the Staining Intensity Score: 0=No staining; 1=Weak staining; and 2=Moderate to strong staining.

Measure
64 CU-ATSM SUVmax @ Baseline
n=2 Participants
The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) is the Cu64-ATSM Uptake measured within 14 days of baseline is defined as SUVmax = tracer uptake in ROI / (injected activity / patient weight))
64 CU-ATSM T/M Ratio @ Baseline
n=6 Participants
Cu64-ATSM uptake measured using the Tumor-to-Muscle uptake ratio within 14 days of baseline The tumor uptake is measured by selecting an FDG-PET/CT-guided circular region of interest of 1.0-1.5 cm in diameter around the most intense region of the primary tumor to calculate the maximum uptake within the region. The Muscle uptake is measured by selecting regions of interest on bilateral gluteal muscle groups on at least 3 slices, and calculating the mean uptake. The T/M uptake is the ratio of these 2 measurements.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: No cases had a composite score of 5

The Ratio of Tissue to Muscle (T/M) agent uptake measured at baseline was used as a predictor of Hypoxia Tumor Hypoxia was assessed with Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) markers using the Composite Score (range 0-6): Computed by using the coded values of Percentage of Tumor Cells Staining Score (0-3) multiplied by the coded value of Staining Intensity Score (0-2).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: every 3 months for first 2 years and every 6 months during year 3, up to 3 years

Population: Participants were divided into two groups by whether their T/M Ratio fell at or above vs. below the observed median of 7.3 and the median time (days) was calculated for the development of new distant metastases.

Existence of distant metastasis was evaluated every 3 months for first 2 years and every 6 months during year 3 Copper Cu 64-ATSM Uptake (T/M) measured within 14 days of baseline;
