About this study

This study will evaluate the feasibility of identifying changes in diffusion MRI characteristics of bone that correlates with response to therapy in men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate a special type of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan that measures the movement of water molecules through tissue called diffusion MRI. Researchers are using this new MRI technology to track the diffusion, or movement, of water through tumor tissue, and map these changes as a cancer patient undergoes treatment. Early research seems to indicate that tumor cells restrict the movement of water, so as tumor cells die, the movement of water changes within the tumor. These changes in the movement (diffusion) of water may help doctors determine earlier than traditional tests whether a patient's cancer is responding (getting better) to treatment. This study will evaluate the feasibility of identifying changes in diffusion MRI characteristics of bone that correlates with response to therapy in men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Study groups in NCT02064283
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diffusion MRI AssessmentExperimentalMen with newly diagnosed metastatic disease initiating therapy with androgen deprivation, or men with hormone refractory prostate cancer initiating treatment with chemotherapy, will be assessed by diffusion MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) at baseline, 2 weeks and again at 9-12 weeks.
Receives: Procedure: Diffusion MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in diffusion MRI measurements

    Identify changes in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) measurements and correlate the changes with response to therapy.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks and 9-12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in units/L of CK18Asp306

    Levels of CK18Asp396 can be measured in serum using a commercially available ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay). Changes in serum CK18Asp396 (a marker of apoptosis) will be correlated with functional diffusion maps and treatment response.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks and 9-12 weeks

  2. Change in levels of bone turnover markers

    Correlate the changes in biochemical markers of bone turnover, such as N-telopeptide and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, with functional diffusion maps and treatment response.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 weeks and 9-12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diffusion MRI in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center 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 9 inclusion and 3 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 9 Dec 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.

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?

Change in diffusion MRI measurements (time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks and 9-12 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 NCT02064283, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Dec 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 4 Nov 2026.
