NCT ID NCT04724369

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests a radioactive imaging agent called 18F-mFBG to see if it can accurately detect neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. The study involves 43 participants who either have or are suspected of having neuroblastoma. Researchers will compare the new PET scan method with standard imaging to see if it improves diagnosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
18F-mFBG (a radioactive imaging agent)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more accurate and faster way to detect neuroblastoma, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 3 trial with only 43 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The imaging agent may not be significantly better than existing methods.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. a) An established diagnosis of neuroblastoma based on unequivocal histopathology from tissue obtained at any time prior to enrolment in the trial; OR b) A presumed diagnosis of neuroblastoma based on signs, symptoms, physical examination, imaging findings, and laboratory and genetic test results, including individuals in whom therapy has already been empirically initiated. 2. The subject has undergone or is scheduled to undergo evaluation of neuroblastoma disease status, including at least one functional imaging study (123I-mIBG or 18F-FDG), within 30 days prior to the date of 18F-mFBG imaging, with no interval therapy between such evaluation and investigational drug administration. 3. Ability of subject or subject's legal guardian to understand and sign a written informed consent document, including, for subjects age 7-17, an assent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. The subject was previously entered into this study. 2. The subject is pregnant, breast feeding, or menarchal and unwilling to use effective contraception during the study. 3. The subject has a history or suspicion of significant allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to any components of the 18F-mFBG imaging agent. 4. The subject is unable to lie flat or remain still for approximately 30 minutes to allow performance of a PET scan. 5. The subject uses medications that are known to interfere with uptake of NET-dependent agents and these medications cannot be safely withheld 24 hours before study procedures.
