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

Who may be able to join

  • Any ethnic group
  • Pathologically proven prostate cancer with high risk for bone metastases
  • Rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) despite androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), PSA > 10 ng/mL
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written combined Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and informed consent document
  • Patients Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance is =< 1

Who cannot join

  • Patients may not receive any other investigational therapeutic agents from within 7 days prior to study drug administration through 7 days following study drug administration
  • Patients with known contraindications to MR imaging such as presence of MRI incompatible devices such as pacemakers and certain aneurysm clips, severe claustrophobia, or any other condition which would preclude proximity to a strong magnetic field; this exclusion is a standard of practice
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements; patients in this category are excluded to reduce medical risk to their safety and to avoid confounding variables in regard to the possibility of adverse events

About this study

Official title: F-18 NaF PET for Detection of Bone Metastases in Men With Prostate Cancer: Exploratory Study

This phase 0 trial studies whole body fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan and whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in finding bone metastases in patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as whole body fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride PET/CT scan and whole body MRI, may help find and diagnose bone metastases.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of whole-body fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride PET/CT scan in detecting bone metastases in patients with high-risk prostate cancer using bone scan as the reference standard.

II. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of whole-body MRI in detecting bone metastases in patients with high-risk prostate cancer using bone scan as the reference standard.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo technetium Tc 99m methylene diphosphonate bone scan, fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride PET/CT scan, and whole-body MRI for the detection of bone metastases. Patients with discordant imaging results (negative bone scan and positive PET/CT scan and/or MRI) undergo additional imaging at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

Being tested
magnetic resonance imaging, fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride, positron emission tomography, computed tomography, technetium Tc 99m methylene diphosphonate

What is being measured

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

  1. Uptake of fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride on PET/CT scan

    Determine if increased uptake of 18F-fluoride on PET/CT scan is directly correlated to the metastatic tumor burden within the bones using bone scan as the reference standard.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Incidence of focal MRI abnormality

    Determine if focal MRI abnormality is directly correlated to the metastatic tumor burden within the bones using bone scan as the reference standard.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing magnetic resonance imaging, fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride and positron emission tomography in people with Bone Metastases and Recurrent Prostate Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 2 Jul 2014. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Uptake of fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride on PET/CT scan (time frame: Up to 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jul 2014.
