Trial summary

In this study we will test a new procedure to guide needle biopsies into the prostate gland based on MRI. This study will be conducted in patients who may have recurrence of their cancer in the prostate gland after radiation therapy in order to map out the location of the recurrence.

About this study

Official title: MRI - Guided Biopsy for Suspicion of Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer After External Beam Radiotherapy

In this study we will test a new procedure to guide needle biopsies into the prostate gland based on MRI. This study will be conducted in patients who may have recurrence of their cancer in the prostate gland after radiation therapy in order to map out the location of the recurrence. Using this technique, we will be able to measure the accuracy of MR images in identifying the site of tumour recurrence.

Read the detailed description

This study involves the technical development and clinical testing of a novel technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided prostate biopsy in a 1.5T horizontal bore scanner using a dedicated interventional table. We primarily hypothesize that the integration of diagnostic and interventional MRI enables needle biopsy targeting to foci of tumor recurrence after radiotherapy, and will enable a determination of the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in mapping sub-sites of tumor recurrence after radiotherapy. RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH: Patients with recurrence of their prostate cancer after radiotherapy currently face difficult choices. Standard second line treatments target the entire prostate gland and are associated many side effects. This study will directly improve the detection, spatial delineation, and characterization of prostate cancer persistence after radiotherapy. If anatomic patterns of disease persistence are found across patients, radiation delivery techniques will be suitably modified, which may translate to improved cure rates. Importantly, this study will establish a procedural platform for MRI-guidance of minimally invasive local salvage therapies. By precisely focusing salvage therapy to sites of tumor persistence within the prostate gland, side effects may be reduced in the future.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI-Guided Biopsy in people with Recurrent Prostate Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 29 Nov 2017. 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.

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?

The primary endpoint is a preliminary estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in identifying sites of recurrent tumor after radiotherapy for prostate cancer. (time frame: at the end of the evaluation phase). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00775866, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Nov 2017.
