E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Tumor to background ratio of [18F] HX4 PET images. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Overlap fraction of (for example) >50% max regions (i) before and during treatment (ii) in the time series.
- Define the optimal time point for HX4 imaging in Cervix cancer, based on the highest tumor to background ratio.
- Determine if there is a relationship between the SUVmax, SUVmean or tumor to muscle ratio in comparison to the amount of osteopontin in the blood, circulating CA-IX in the blood or the degree and presence of tumor tissue markers.
- Overlap fraction of (for example) >50% max regions between HX4-PET and FDG-PET pre-treatment or three months after treatment.
- Correlation of the SUVmax, SUVmean and tumor to muscle ratio in the [18F] HX4 PET images in comparison to local tumor recurrence and survival.
- Correlation of the SUVmax, SUVmean and tumor to muscle ratio in the [18F] HX4 PET images in comparison to Complete Remission rates at 3 months
