F-choline PET in Early Response Assessment for Castration Resistant Prostatic Cancer
A Phase 2/3 study testing F-Choline-PET in people with Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 3 sites in France.
Trial summary
Until today no current diagnostic tool exists to identify an early objective response when patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer were treated by abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide.

About this study
Official title: F-choline PET in Early Response Assessment for Castration Resistant Prostatic Cancer Treated by Abiraterone Acetate or Enzalutamide
Until today no current diagnostic tool exists to identify an early objective response when patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer were treated by abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. According to the Prostate Cancer Working Group, the investigators have to wait 12 weeks before the first evaluation. To know soon that the treatment is effective will be decisive for the oncologist, even more in palliative situation where second effects can't be imposed to patients.
In post-docetaxel, the F-choline PET-CT could be used to assess the response of this new therapy. Moreover, the investigators suppose that we can assess an early stage if there is an objective therapeutic response, at 6 weeks of treatment, in order to avoid unnecessarily and expansive treatment.
The aim of this study is to assess if it is possible to determine early (6 weeks of treatment)if a F-choline PET-CT could predict the response to abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in post-docetaxel.

F-Choline-PETDevice
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| F-Choline PET | Experimental | The F-Choline-PET will be performed before and at 6 weeks of the beginning of treatment by abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. Receives: Device: F-Choline-PET |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sensitivity and specificity of 6 weeks PET-CT performed on the response after 12 weeks of abiraterone acetate treatment or enzalutamide
A centralized review will be carried out by 2 independent reviewers. The gold-standard to evaluate tumoral response to abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide will be the pain, the Prostate Specific Antigen rate, and imagery at 3 months according to prostate cancer working group.
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (4)
Study of global survival and progression-free survival according to the results of baseline F-choline PET .
Measured: 24 weeks
Study of global survival and progression-free survival at 12 weeks of treatment according to the results of 6 weeks treatment F-choline PET.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Until today no current diagnostic tool exists to identify an early objective response when patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer were treated by abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. According to the Prostate Cancer Working Group, the investigators have to wait 12 weeks before the first evaluation. To know soon that the treatment is effective will be decisive for the oncologist, even more in palliative situation where second effects can't be imposed to patients.
In post-docetaxel, the F-choline PET-CT could be used to assess the response of this new therapy. Moreover, the investigators suppose that we can assess an early stage if there is an objective therapeutic response, at 6 weeks of treatment, in order to avoid unnecessarily and expansive treatment.
The aim of this study is to assess if it is possible to determine early (6 weeks of treatment)if a F-choline PET-CT could predict the response to abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in post-docetaxel.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing F-Choline-PET in people with Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 3 sites in France.
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 11 inclusion and 7 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 28 Apr 2016. 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 France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 was stopped early (reason given: enrollment default). 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?
Sensitivity and specificity of 6 weeks PET-CT performed on the response after 12 weeks of abiraterone acetate treatment or enzalutamide (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01981707, which also lists 27 linked publications.
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 28 Apr 2016.
