About this study

Official title: Biological Investigations in Active Surveillance (BIAS) IGAR 2008 I 19

This study will use high field MRI (3 Tesla), PET and biomarker to follow prostate cancers and determine if these tests can detect cancers that become aggressive.

Read the detailed description

This study may lead to the identification of additional investigations that can monitor for signs of disease progression in active surveillance protocols. This can directly benefit patients by providing them with greater confidence that their disease is being accurately monitored. In addition, this study may be beneficial to the general management of prostate cancers by adding to our knowledge of these investigations characterizing prostate cancers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary objective to determine if we can accrue patients to this study in a timely manner.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Patient compliance

    Measured: Patients followed for 5 years from baseline

  2. Optimal imaging parameters to characterize prostate cancers

    Measured: patients followed for 5 years from baseline

  3. feasibility of detecting gene arrangements in prostate biopsies

    Measured: patients followed for 5 years from baseline

  4. Incidence of patients developing progressive prostate cancer warranting definitive treatment in an active surveillance protocol

    Measured: patients followe for 5 years from baseline

  5. The natural history of prostate cancer with these investigations

    Measured: patients followed for 5 years from baseline

  6. The sensitivity and specificity of these investigation in detecting prostate cancer

    Measured: patients followed for 5 years from baseline

  7. The sensitivity and specificity of these investigations in differentiating indolent prostate cancer from aggressive disease

    Measured: patients followed for 5 years from baseline

  8. The sensitivity and specificity of these investigations in detecting high grade disease, extracapsular disease and extraprostatic disease and disease progression

    Measured: patients followed for 5 years from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 3T MR Imaging, C-Choline PET Scanning and Gene Rearrangement in people with Prostate Cancer, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 6 Jul 2016. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Primary objective to determine if we can accrue patients to this study in a timely manner. (time frame: 2 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 6 Jul 2016.
