Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient must have clinically suspected or biopsy proven prostate cancer. If a patient has been diagnosed with prostate cancer an official report of biopsy from MSKCC or outside site is required. All outside pathology reports will be confirmed at MSKCC.
  • For those patients who have undergone prostate biopsy it is recommended that the interval between biopsy and protocol MRI/MRSI should be at least 8 weeks.
  • Patient is a potential surgical candidate for treatment of prostate cancer
  • Patient is willing to undergo an endorectal MRI/MRSI exam on the 3.0T MR scanner

Who cannot join

  • Patients who because of general medical or psychiatric condition, or physiologic status unrelated to the presence of prostate cancer cannot give valid informed consent.
  • Patients who are unwilling or unable to undergo MRI/MRSI (including patients with contra-indications to MRI such as the presence of cardiac pacemakers or non-compatible intracranial vascular clips.
  • Patients who cannot tolerate or have contra-indications to endorectal coil insertion; for example, patients who have had a prior abdominoperineal resection of the rectum or have Crohn's disease, patients with severe hemorrhoids, patients who have had prior radiation to the pelvis to treat a malignancy, or patients who have had minor rectal surgery within the previous 8 weeks.
  • Patients with an allergic reaction to latex.
  • Patients with a metallic hip implant or any other metallic implant or device in the pelvis that might distort local magnetic field and compromise quality of MRI/MRSI.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Spectroscopic Imaging, Contrast Enhanced ImagingOther

    Also called MRI

    All MR examinations will be performed on a 3.0 Tesla whole body GE MR scanner located at the main campus (1275 York Avenue) or the Breast and Imaging Center (BAIC)(located on Second Ave. between 65th and 66th Streets). The MR examination will include MR imaging and spectroscopic imaging employing a combined torso phased array and endorectal coil receiver. The examination will require one hour to one hour and ten minutes.

Study groups in NCT00588679
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalPatients taking part in this study will have one MRI and one MRSI scan acquired in succession during a single MR examination. For those patients who have undergone prostate biopsy it is recommended that this should be done at least eight weeks after the prostate biopsy and should take one hour to one hour and ten minutes total to complete.
Receives: Other: Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Spectroscopic Imaging, Contrast Enhanced Imaging

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To define the relative proton metabolite levels detected by MRSI at 3.0 T in normal and cancerous tissue using pathology as the gold standard.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To measure the sensitivity and specificity of localized detection of prostate cancer by 3.0 T MRSI using pathology as the gold standard.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. To explore whether metabolic markers measured by 3.0 T MRSI are correlated with prostate cancer aggressiveness as defined by the Gleason score.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Spectroscopic Imaging, Contrast Enhanced Imaging in people with Prostate Cancer and MRI, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To define the relative proton metabolite levels detected by MRSI at 3.0 T in normal and cancerous tissue using pathology as the gold standard. (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Mar 2019.
