About this study

Official title: NaF PET/CT Repeatability, Responsiveness, and Response Assessment in Patients With Metastatic Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer to Bone Treated With Either an Antimicrotubule Directed Agent or Androgen Receptor (AR)-Directed Therapies

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a newer imaging technique, called 18F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography (PET). NaF is a tracer (dye) that is very sensitive for changes in bone. By using this tracer with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging, our ability to evaluate and measure changes in bone lesions could be greatly improved.

Read the detailed description

The study will look at how repeatable the NaF PET scans are before treatment. Scans will also be performed after standard chemotherapy or hormone-directed treatment. This will allow evaluation of how the NaF PET scans change with the chemotherapy or hormone-directed therapy. In addition, NaF PET scans will be compared with standard computed tomography (CT) and bone scans, as well as prostate specific antigen (PSA). This information could be used to develop better ways to measure prostate cancer bone lesions. In turn, this could be used to better evaluate treatment effects of standard chemotherapy and other new drugs being developed to treat prostate cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • Sodium Fluoride (NaF) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imagingProcedure or surgery

    Subjects who will be enrolled will be those who will be starting treatment (as part of standard of care or as part of another trial) with either a microtubule directed chemotherapy regimen (cohort A), or AR-directed therapy (cohort B). All subjects will have a baseline NaF PET/CT scan (baseline #1), performed within days prior to starting either chemotherapy or AR-directed therapy. A subset of subjects (up to 20 subjects per site, 60 total) will undergo a second NaF PET/CT scan (baseline #2) within 1-8 days of the initial scan to determine repeatability of NaF PET/CT scanning. Subjects in cohort A will undergo another NaF PET/CT scan at week 8 (+/- 1 week). Subjects in cohort B will undergo two additional NaF PET/CT scans at weeks 6 and 12 (+/- 1 week).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort A: Microtubule directed chemotherapy treatmentSubjects receiving antimicrotubule chemotherapy-based treatment will have NaF PET/CT scans at baseline and again after 8 weeks of starting treatment. A subset of subjects will have a second NaF PET/CT scan at baseline 1-8 days after the first baseline scan.
Receives: Procedure: Sodium Fluoride (NaF) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imaging
Cohort B: AR-directed therapySubjects receiving AR-directed therapy will undergo a baseline NaF PET/CT scan at baseline and again after having been on treatment for 6 weeks and again at 12 weeks. A subset of subjects will also undergo a second baseline NaF PET/CT scan 1-8 days after the first baseline scan.

What is being measured

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

  1. The repeatability of NaF PET/CT imaging for evaluating bone metastases in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

    NaF PET/CT scan will be performed within 14 days prior to starting chemotherapy (antimicrotubule directed chemotherapy) or hormone-directed therapy (baseline #1). A portion of subjects (up to 20 subjects at each site, 60 subjects total) will have a second NaF PET/CT scan performed (baseline #2) within 1-8 days of the initial scan to see if measurements repeated over a short period of time are similar.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluate changes on NaF PET/CT images in response to chemotherapy (antimicrotubule directed chemotherapy) or androgen receptor (AR)-directed therapy.

    All subjects will undergo NaF PET/CT scanning at baseline and again either 8 weeks after starting treatment with antimicrotubule chemotherapy based treatment (Cohort A) OR at both 6 weeks and 12 weeks after starting AR-directed treatment (Cohort B).

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) response

    Results from the NaF PET/CT scans will be compared with PSA and bone scan and CT scan results.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) response

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Radiographic progression free survival

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 3 sites 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 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 18 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

The repeatability of NaF PET/CT imaging for evaluating bone metastases in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. (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 18 Nov 2019.
