About this study

Official title: Determining the Extent and Grade of Prostate Cancer Using MR Elastography, Diffusion Weighted Imaging, and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI With Gadofosveset

The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of several new MRI techniques (MR elastography, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI with gadofosveset, and oscillating gradient diffusion) to determine the location, size, and grade of prostate carcinoma. Thirty patients with biopsy proven carcinoma awaiting prostatectomy will be included in the study. Ex-vivo MRI will also be conducted on the prostate specimen to obtain high resolution imaging correlates to both in-vivo MRI and whole mount prostatectomy specimens. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of these three techniques will increase the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of MRI for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation coefficient

    Correlation coefficient between the expected location and grade of prostate cancer as determined by each new MRI method compared with whole mount histological specimen using a 5 mm grid for spatial reference.

    Measured: This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 4 weeks following prostatectomy (an average of 8 weeks from time of enrolment).

  2. Receiver operator characteristic curve for the prediction of prostate cancer for each new MRI method

    Measured: This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 4 weeks following prostatectomy (an average of 8 weeks from time of enrolment).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI with gadofosveset and MR elastography in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre 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 1 inclusion and 9 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 18 Oct 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Inadequate accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Correlation coefficient (time frame: This outcome measure will be assessed approximately 4 weeks following prostatectomy (an average of 8 weeks from time of enrolment).). 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 18 Oct 2016.
