Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate, for the first time, the sensitivity of 18F-Fludarabine to the initial diagnosis of MM compared to FDG-PET and MRI. The interest of this molecule will also be investigated as part of the end-of-treatment therapeutic evaluation.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Detection of sensitivity of the lesions (osseous and extra-osseous) of 18Fludarabine PET (FludaTEP)	The sensitivity of the initial FludaTEP will be evaluated using an optimal reading mode lesion analysis (ie by consensus of experts) by defining : True positive: positive lesion with 18F-Fludarabine and positive with PET-FDG or MRI; or positive lesion with 18-F-Fludarabine, negative with PET-FDG and MRI, but confirmed by further complementary imaging (CT) or histological examination, or confirmed at follow-up; False negative: -negative lesion with 18F-Fludarabine and positive FDG-PET and / or MR Lesions positivity in PET-FDG and MRI will be assessed by central reading done by consensus of experts. Lesions positivity with 18F-Fludarabine will be defined by central reading assessed by 2 nuclear physicians experts in hematology with no access to the other exams' results.	Before treatment
Secondary	To evaluate the specificity and the positive and negative predictive values of the FludaTEP for the initial assessment through an optimal reading mode.	The specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the FludaTEP for the initial assessment will be assessed through an optimal reading mode lesion analysis (ie by consensus of experts) using same true positive and false positive définitions as for the main endpoint and defining: -positive lesion with 18F-Fludarabine but not found or confirmed on an histological examination, or other imaging technique (PET-FDG, MRI +/- Scan) or at follow-up; True negative: -negative lesion with 18F-Fludarabine and negative with FDG-PET and MRI	Before treatment
Secondary	To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the FludaTEP for the initial balance according to the local reading	The specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the FludaTEP for the initial balance will be evaluated through lesion analysis based on the local reading investigator center reading using definitions of VP, VN, FP, and FN described above.	Before treatment
Secondary	To evaluate the prognostic impact of FDG-PET and FludaTEP on the number of lesions detected by each imaging technique in a population of MM patients in the 1st line therapeutic but not candidates for marrow autograft.	The prognostic impact of FDG-PET and FludaTEP as a function of the number of lesions detected by each imaging technique will be evaluated by evaluating the impact of these data on progression-free survival and overall survival. Progression-free survival is defined as the time between the beginning of treatment of the disease and relapse or progression. Overall survival is defined as the time between the start of treatment and death.	After treatment
Secondary	To evaluate the prognostic impact of FludaTEP on the initial assessment and for the end-of-treatment therapeutic evaluation	The prognostic impact of FludaTEP on the initial assessment and for the end-of-treatment therapeutic evaluation will be determined by evaluating the impact of a decrease and a negation of the signal in imaging on an increase in progression-free survival and overall survival.	Before and After treatment
Secondary	Evaluate in a population of MM patients the existence of a correlation between the 18Fludarabine and FDG uptake intensities	Correlations between the 18Fludarabine and FDG uptake intensities assessed by SUVs and the quantitative expression of markers measured in flow cytometry and cytogenetic data (in particular the expression of the coding gene for hexokinases) will be measured using Spearman's correlation coefficient.	Before and After treatment
Secondary	Evaluate in a population of MM patients the existence of a correlation between the 18Fludarabine and FDG uptake intensities and the cytogenetic data Tolerance to 18F-Fludarabine	Tolerance to 18F-Fludarabine will be evaluated by clinical monitoring during 2 hours following the 18F-Fludarabine injection. Clinical data will be taken prior to the 18F-Fludarabine injection, prior to the data capture at 60min and after the last data capture.	Before and After treatment
