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

Who may be able to join

None listed.

Who cannot join

  • Participants will be excluded who have experienced a severe skeletal related event (SRE)within the past 3 months. For this study, an SRE consists of any of the following: palliative radiotherapy to bone, pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and surgery to bone to treat or prevent a fracture.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

About this study

Official title: Measurement of Ca Kinetics in Humans With Prostate Cancer-induced Bone Disease

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as radionuclide imaging using calcium-41 (41Ca) chloride aqueous solution, may help predict progressive disease in patients with prostate cancer and bone metastasis.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well calcium-41 (41Ca) chloride aqueous solution works in diagnosing patients with prostate cancer and bone metastasis.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To measure the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of calcium-41 (41Ca) chloride aqueous solution (^41Ca) over 18 months in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer and bone metastasis.
  • To correlate the ^41Ca-tracer kinetics with time to disease progression, skeletal-related events, and death.

Secondary

  • To correlate modulations in baseline urinary ^41Ca clearance with changes in clinically relevant disease parameters, including isotope bone scan data and PSA.
  • To combine bone turnover assessments with ^41Ca and collagen/bone cell biomarkers with clinical imaging techniques, especially isotope bone scans, to provide improved stratification of disease stage.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral calcium-41 (41Ca) chloride aqueous solution (^41Ca) on day 1. Some patients also receive oral calcium-46 (46Ca) chloride aqueous solution (^46Ca).

Urine and blood specimens are collected periodically for 18 months. Blood samples are assayed for bone collagen residues, bone alkaline phosphatase, and PSA. Urine specimens are assessed for ^41Ca/Ca. Isotope bone scintigraphy is use to measure radioactivity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 3 years.

What participants receive

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

  • 41 CaDrug

    Also called calcium-41 (41Ca) chloride aqueous solution

    single oral 1.2 microgram dose of 41Ca; the first two recruited study subjects will also receive an oral dose of stable calcium isotope (46Ca) to compare initial kinetics with prior work.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Whose Samples Were Measured for Pharmacokinetics

    Pre-dose specimens will be provided immediately prior to dose administration. Day 1 specimens shall be collected by the subjects 6 hours after dosing (at home); all subsequent urine specimens may be collected at any time during the day and blood specimens should be taken at the same time of day, if feasible (e.g., morning fasted).

    Measured: Samples will be collected over 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Patients With Urinary 41Ca Clearance Correlated to Disease Progression

    Urinary 41Ca clearance will be measured and correlated with progression by RECIST 1.0 and/or PSA progression of 100% over patient nadir.

    Measured: Samples will be collected over 18 months

  2. Number of Patients With Correlation Between 41Ca Clearance and Disease Stage

    Measure baseline 41Ca clearance and correlate with number of baseline bone metastasis lesions.

    Measured: Samples will be collected over 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 41 Ca in people with Metastatic Cancer and Prostate Cancer, run by University of California, Davis 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 0 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients Whose Samples Were Measured for Pharmacokinetics (time frame: Samples will be collected over 18 months). 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 22 Dec 2017.
