Clinical Trial Summary

Positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) evaluates cancer cell glycolysis(Warburg effect) as a surrogate for tumor response.The hypothesis of this study is that early changes in FDG-PET signal can predict sorafenib response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).


Clinical Trial Description

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health issue worldwide, particularly in Asia and Africa, and a disease that has increased in incidence in the Western world over the past 20 years primarily as a result of the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection, which predisposes patients to HCC.

Sorafenib (a new oral potent multikinase inhibitor directed against both tumour proliferation and angiogenesis) can be considered standard of care for patients with advanced and metastatic HCC who are not candidates for curative or locoregional therapies. Clinical benefit has been shown in 75% of patients with advanced HCC.

PET is a noninvasive imaging technique which might be an effective tool for evaluating sorafenib treatment in HCC. The aim of this study is to evaluate this new treatment with PET with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), since the use of only computed tomography (CT) measurements can be questioned. Our hypothesis is that early effects of sorafenib treatment in advanced HCC can be detected and quantified by PET-CT after one month of treatment. We try to reveal a decrease in tumour glucose uptake at one month and correlate it with other radiologic findings (measured by CT and diffusion-weighted nuclear resonance imaging) and the more clinically relevant endpoints clinical benefit and overall survival. ;
