INTRODUCTION: The incidence of renal tumours is increasing and anatomic imaging cannot reliably distinguish benign tumours from renal cell carcinoma. Up to 30% of renal tumours are benign, with oncocytomas the most common type. Biopsy has not been routinely adopted in many centres due to concerns surrounding non-diagnostic rate, bleeding and tumour seeding. As a result, benign masses are often unnecessarily surgically resected. Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT has shown high diagnostic accuracy for benign renal oncocytomas and other oncocytic renal neoplasms of low malignant potential in single-centre studies. The primary aim of MULTI-MIBI is to assess feasibility of a multicentre study of Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT against a reference standard of histopathology from surgical resection or biopsy. Secondary aims of the study include obtaining estimates of Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT sensitivity and specificity and to inform the design and conduct of a future definitive trial. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A feasibility prospective multicentre study of participants with indeterminate, clinical T1 renal tumours to undergo Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT (index test) compared with histopathology from biopsy or surgical resection (reference test). Interpretation of the index and reference tests will be blinded to the results of the other. Recruitment rate as well as estimates of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value will be reported. Semistructured interviews with patients and clinicians will provide qualitative data to inform onward trial design and delivery. Training materials for Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT interpretation will be developed, assessed and optimised. Early health economic modelling using a decision analytic approach for different diagnostic strategies will be performed to understand the potential cost-effectiveness of Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been granted (UK HRA REC 20/YH/0279) protocol V.5.0 dated 21/6/2022. Study outputs will be presented and published nationally and internationally. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN12572202.
简介:肾肿瘤的发病率正在增加,解剖影像学无法可靠地区分良性肿瘤和肾细胞癌。多达 30%的肾肿瘤是良性的,其中最常见的是嗜酸细胞瘤。由于担心诊断率不高、出血和肿瘤种植,许多中心并未常规采用活检。因此,良性肿块经常被不必要地手术切除。在单中心研究中,Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT 对良性肾嗜酸细胞瘤和其他低恶性潜能的嗜酸细胞瘤性肾肿瘤具有较高的诊断准确性。MULTI-MIBI 的主要目的是评估 Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT 在多中心研究中的可行性,该研究将与手术切除或活检的组织病理学参考标准进行比较。该研究的次要目的包括获得 Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT 的敏感性和特异性估计值,并为未来的确定性试验提供设计和实施依据。
方法和分析:一项关于不确定的临床 T1 期肾肿瘤患者的可行性前瞻性多中心研究,这些患者将接受 Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT(试验)检查,并与活检或手术切除的组织病理学(参考标准)进行比较。试验和参考测试的解释将对彼此的结果保持盲法。将报告招募率以及敏感性、特异性、阳性和阴性预测值的估计值。对患者和临床医生进行半结构化访谈,提供定性数据,以指导进一步的试验设计和实施。将开发、评估和优化 Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT 解释的培训材料。使用决策分析方法对不同的诊断策略进行早期健康经济学建模,以了解 Tc-sestamibi SPECT/CT 的潜在成本效益。
伦理和传播:已获得(英国 HRA REC 20/YH/0279)协议 V.5.0 日期为 2022 年 6 月 21 日的批准。研究结果将在国内外进行展示和发表。
