Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Biopsy-documented adenocarcinoma of the prostate which is intermediate or high risk, defined as possessing one or more of the following features:
  • Gleason >= 7
  • > 50% biopsy cores +
  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >= 10
  • Interested in undergoing a radical prostatectomy as definitive management for prostate cancer
  • No clinical or radiographic evidence for distant metastatic disease
  • In subjects with PSA < 20 no radiographic staging is required in the absence of clinical symptoms for distant metastatic disease; for those with PSA > 20, a bone scan must document lack of concern for bone involvement

Who cannot join

  • Ineligible for surgery due to cardiac, pulmonary, or other major comorbidity factor
  • History of claustrophobia
  • Pacemaker or other implanted metal objects which would make subject ineligible for MRI, per standard criteria
  • Unable to give written informed consent

About this study

Official title: Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Staging in Localized Prostate Cancer: A Pilot Study

This pilot clinical trial studies how well diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in staging patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body. New imaging techniques, such as diffusion-weighted MRI, may be a less invasive way of predicting the stage and grade of prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of diffusion-weighted MRI for pathologic T3 stage prostate cancer using a 3 Tesla (3T) magnet with a surface coil.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo diffusion-weighted MRI of the pelvis.

Being tested
diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Prostatic Neoplasms

Receives: Procedure: diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging; Other: laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients found to have extracapsular extension and seminal vesicle involvement using Diffusion-Weighted MRI

    Patients will be imaged using diffusion-weighted MR. Findings will be correlated with histopathologic findings at biopsy and/or prostatectomy.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate and Stage IIA Prostate Cancer, run by University of Southern California 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 7 inclusion and 4 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 11 Sep 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?

Number of patients found to have extracapsular extension and seminal vesicle involvement using Diffusion-Weighted MRI (time frame: Baseline). 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 11 Sep 2014.
