18F-FDG PET Scan and MRI Diffusion.Evaluation of the Early Therapeutic Response of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Centre Antoine Lacassagne74 enrolled

Overview

Open-label, multicenter, uncontrolled and non-randomized study comparing 18F-FDG PET-Scan and diffusion MRI in the assessment of the early therapeutic response of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

High-grade lymphomas are characterized by noisy symptomatology and quick progression kinetics in the absence of treatment. The therapeutic strategy and prognosis of patients depend on the initial staging and evaluation of early therapeutic response. Positron emission tomography injected with labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG PET-CT) is recommended in the initial disease balance; It also has a prognostic value demonstrated in the evaluation of the intermediate and final response of treatment of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma B (LMNH B) to large cells through a qualitative visual analysis using the 5-point scale of Deauville, but also thanks to a quantitative analysis with the measurement of the Delta SUV max. If the 18F-FDG PET-CT is referred to, it is not without constraint, it is notably an examination leading to exposure to ionizing radiation for the patient. Diffusion MRI (DWI) is a non-irradiating technique based on the evaluation of the diffusion of water molecules allowing indirect qualitative and quantitative analysis of the tumor microstructure, cellularity and integrity of the cell membrane . The tumor is thus detected thanks to its hypercellularity and the mapping of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Several recent studies have demonstrated the feasibility and interest of MRI scattering and measurement of CDA in tumor staging and early therapeutic evaluation of high grade lymphomas and more particularly diffuse large B-cell Lyphoma, The latter being characterized by a high nucleo-cytoplasmic cellularity and ratio which makes it possible to obtain a strong signal and low ADC values in diffusion MRI (5) (7) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (14). However, there are few studies comparing these two imaging techniques in the therapeutic evaluation of large cell LMNH B (6) (11) (15). The main limitations of the existing studies are their small size and, above all, the accuracy of the methodology for quantifying the measurement of therapeutic response and in particular in terms of quantitative analysis of CDA.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

measurement of the correlation between the Delta SUVmax in PET-TDM (or between the Deauville criteria if the Delta SUVmax is not applicable) and the Delta ADCmax in diffusion MRI.

scattering MRI in the assessment of the early therapeutic response of diffuse large cell Lymphoma.

Time frame: up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes

progression free-survival at 2 years

Progression-free survival will be assessed between the date of diagnosis and the date of death (any cause) or progression (according to RECIST 1.1) within two years after inclusion.

Time frame: up to 2 years

diagnostic performance of MRI scattering

The diagnostic performance of MRI scattering will be assessed using the following parameters: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (PNP), positive and negative likelihood ratios, area under the ROC as well as the Youden Index. An optimal threshold of the Delta ADCmax will be defined, which will then correspond to a maximum Youden index.

Time frame: Up to 4 years

- The degree of inter- and intra-observer association (concordance) of the ADCmax

The degree of inter- and intra-observer association (concordance) of the ADCmax will be calculated using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). A representation of Bland and Altman will also be performed in addition to the ICC calculation

Time frame: up to 4 years
