About this study

Official title: Evaluation of 18F-DCFBC PSMA-based PET Imaging for Detection of Metastatic Prostate Cancer.

This research is being done to see if an investigational radioactive drug called 18F-DCFBC can help us find cancer that has spread (metastatic disease) from its original site in people who have cancer in their prostate to other parts of their body.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate a radiolabeled urea-based small molecule inhibitor of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), [18F]DCFBC (DCFBC) PET imaging for detection of metastatic prostate cancer. PSMA is a well characterized histological marker of prostate cancer tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential. The investigators propose to assess the ability of DCFBC PET to detect metastatic prostate cancer by visual qualitative and quantitative SUV analysis. Correlation will be made to sites of suspected metastatic disease detected by standard conventional imaging modalities (CIM) for prostate cancer which includes IV contrast CT of chest/abdomen/pelvis and whole body bone scintigraphy.

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-DCFBCDrug

    Also called N-[N-[(S)-1,3-dicarboxypropyl]carbamoyl]-4-18F-fluorobenzyl-L-cysteine

    18F-DCFBC is a radiofluorinated small-molecule inhibitor of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).

    A bolus of 10 mCi (370 MBq) [9-11 mCi (333-407 MBq)] of 18F-DCFBC will be injected into the IV line by slow IV push.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
18F-DCFBCExperimentalParticipants with hormone-naive prostate cancer (HNPC) and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with metastatic lesions detected on conventional imaging modalities (contrast-enhanced computed tomography [CECT] and bone scintigraphy [BS]) undergo PET imaging with 18F-DCFBC radiotracer.
Receives: Drug: 18F-DCFBC

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of Sensitivity of DCFBC-PET as Determined by Agreement of PET/CT Detection of Metastatic Prostate Cancer With Conventional Imaging Modality (CIM)

    Measurement of sensitivity of DCFBC PET to CIM (contrast-enhanced CT and bone scintigraphy) for detection of metastatic prostate cancer based on number of lesions that are detected on PET/CT, in agreement with CT and CIM. Measurement of sensitivity were obtained on lesion by lesion analysis where lesions that responded on follow up were considered a true positive.

    Measured: 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sensitivity of Detection of New or Progression of Metastasis

    Sensitivity of DCFBC-PET and conventional imaging modalities (CIM), which include bone scintigraphy (BS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) to detect new or progression of metastases at follow-up, where "equivocal" lesions are considered negative. Measurement of sensitivity were obtained on lesion by lesion analysis where lesions that responded on follow up were considered a true positive, therefore, sensitivity is a proportion of responsive lesions to the total number of lesions analyzed.

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 18F-DCFBC in people with Metastatic Prostate Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 20 Aug 2018. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Aug 2018). 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?

Measurement of Sensitivity of DCFBC-PET as Determined by Agreement of PET/CT Detection of Metastatic Prostate Cancer With Conventional Imaging Modality (CIM) (time frame: 24 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 20 Aug 2018.
