PET/MRI for Men Being Considered for Radiotherapy for Suspected Prostate Cancer Recurrence Post-Prostatectomy
A study testing 18F-FCH PET/MRI Scan in people with Prostate Cancer, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 10 sites in 3 countries.
Trial summary
The PROPS trial is for men being considered for radiotherapy due to the suspicion that their prostate cancer has recurred following the surgical removal of their prostate (prostatectomy). This suspicion is based on rises seen on Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: PROPS (PET/MRI Pre-Radiotherapy for Post-Prostatectomy Salvage)
The PROPS trial is for men being considered for radiotherapy due to the suspicion that their prostate cancer has recurred following the surgical removal of their prostate (prostatectomy). This suspicion is based on rises seen on Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests. Only men who demonstrate the absence of disease on standard imaging scans (Computed Tomography (CT) and bone scans) will be invited to participate.
This study will be assessing if the imaging probe 18-F Fluorocholine (18F-FCH) used during Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, can better predict who will benefit from radiotherapy by identifying the source of cancer recurrence. This will be determined by measuring the number of men who have disease identified outside of the prostate bed (the small pocket or depression where the prostate used to be) on their 18F-FCH PET scan. Since F-18-FCH has been shown to be more sensitive in detecting prostate cancer that may have spread into lymph nodes or bone, it may potentially identify areas of prostate cancer spread not seen with standard imaging.
Read the detailed description
The study will be a non-randomized, prospective study of men with suspected local recurrence of prostate cancer post-prostatectomy with negative conventional re-staging studies (bone scan and CT of the abdomen and pelvis; MRI of the pelvis as part of re-staging is allowed where it is the institutional standard of care). The clinician will develop an initial treatment plan based on conventional re-staging information.
Patients enrolled onto trial will undergo hybrid PET/MR imaging using 18F-FCH (sites without access to a hybrid PET/MR scanner will conduct a 18F-FCH PET/CT in addition to a full body MRI). A consensus staging report based on local and centralized review of the 18F-FCH PET imaging will be provided to the attending clinician, who will document a second treatment plan based on this additional information. The treatment plan to be implemented (initial or second) will be left to clinician discretion, but will be documented.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
18F-FCH PET/MRI ScanDevice
Patients will first undergo screening to ensure eligibility. If eligible, they will undergo a PET/MRI scan using 18F-FCH as the radiolabeled tracer. If prostate cancer is detected outside the prostate, patients may undergo a biopsy or follow-up 18F-FCH PET/MRI to confirm the results.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 18F-FCH PET/MRI Scan | Experimental | Patients will undergo an injection of 18F-fluoromethyl-choline at 3.6 MBq/kg followed by whole body PET/CT imaging. Patients will also undergo a whole body MRI including T2 weighted, Diffusion weighted and Gadolinium Contrast Enhanced sequences. Patients with suspicion for recurrence may undergo biopsy if lesions identified on PET/CT or MRI are accessible for biopsy Receives: Device: 18F-FCH PET/MRI Scan |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of men with negative or equivocal conventional restaging imaging (bone scan + CT scan of abdomen and pelvis) with uptake identified outside of the prostate bed on 18F-FCH PET
Measured: Within 2 weeks of 18F-FCH PET scan
Secondary outcomes (1)
Biochemical disease free survival at 3 years post-treatment
Whether biochemical (PSA) control rates 3 years post-treatment are improved for participants with 18F-FCH PET imaging that was negative or demonstrated uptake confined to the prostate bed and received salvage pelvic radiotherapy compared to published results for men with adverse features.
Measured: 3 years post-treatment

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 14 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 5 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 10 sites in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom. 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?
Proportion of men with negative or equivocal conventional restaging imaging (bone scan + CT scan of abdomen and pelvis) with uptake identified outside of the prostate bed on 18F-FCH PET (time frame: Within 2 weeks of 18F-FCH PET scan). 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 5 Apr 2022.
