Systematic review of the Utilization of PERCIST 1.0 metabolic response criteria in prospective clinical trials.

Conclusions: Since its introduction, PERCIST 1.0 has been increasingly used in many clinical trials and prospective studies, with variable reporting of metabolic response and survival data. In general, it appears PERCIST response is associated with longer PFS and survival though the heterogeneity of disease, scan timing and therapies make data pooling difficult. Prospective inclusion of the PERCIST 1.0 criteria in clinical trials using FDG, with baseline, early monitoring, and end of therapy scans could inform cancer clinical trials.
