CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Diagnosis

The main objective is to study the use of a new diagnostic tool: [18F]-FES PET/CT in the detection and characterisation of endometriosis lesions in association with pain.

Secondary objectives 4

  1. Characterize endometriosis lesions according to their anatomical location.
  2. Characterize endometriosis lesions according to pain symptomatology.
  3. Compare the relevance of MRI versus PET in the diagnosis of deep and superficial endometriosis lesions.
  4. Identify a correlation between estrogen receptor expression, PET analysis and pain intensity.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Characterization of the hypermetabolism of lesions on PET by analysis of SUV: Hypermetabolism present or not and quantification

Secondary endpoints 4

  1. Analyzes of lesions in Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and results of in situ hybridization: Characterization of the markings (intensity, type of receptor expressed, etc.) for each lesion depending on the anatomical location.
  2. Analyzes of lesions in Immunohistochemistry and results of in situ hybridization: Characterization of the markings (intensity, type of receptor expressed, etc.) for each patient according to pain (VAS)
  3. Sensitivity of [18F]-FES PET/CT compared to that of MRI in the diagnosis of superficial and deep endometriosis lesions and according to their location
  4. Degree of association between [18F] SUV intensity and ER expression (IHC) and pain intensity (VAS)
