About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Observational Study Investigating the Safety and Effectiveness of Fluciclovine (18F) (FACBC) PET Ligand in Human Subjects

This retrospective observational multi centered study has been established to collect the clinical experience relating to the administration of Fluciclovine 18F employed in both investigator initiated studies and named patient/compassionate use programmes in up to 5 sites.

Read the detailed description

This study will collect clinical data from consenting patients (unless a HIPAA waiver or equivalent was granted) who received the PET radiotracer Fluciclovine 18F (FACBC) (a synthetic amino acid analog) for imaging of patients with various cancers at participating sites in the US and Europe.

Data collection will cover baseline medical history and medications in all patients.

The result of PET radiotracer and other imaging findings, and reports of histopathology from biopsied tissue (where available) and in a time window relevant to the use of PET imaging in the diagnosis of primary/recurrent prostate cancer will be recorded.

In all subjects, with regards to safety monitoring, available data for physical examination, vital signs and laboratory test results will be collected from 28 days prior to and out to a 35 day window after Fluciclovine 18F (FACBC) administration.

The major goals of the investigation are to consolidate the safety profile of Fluciclovine 18F (FACBC), to evaluate its use in the detection of local and extraprostatic recurrence of prostate cancer and to evaluate its ability to detect malignancy in patients undergoing screening for primary prostate cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • Fluciclovine (18F)Radiation

    Also called FACBC

    Not applicable. This is an observational study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events

    Treatment-emergent Adverse Events and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events

    Measured: Up to 35 days post Fluciclovine 18F

  2. Positive Predictive Value of FACBC Compared to Histology to Detect Recurrence in Patients Previously Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer

    Positive Predictive Value is the percentage of participants with a positive Fluciclovine 18F scan who truly have positive finding in biopsy.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post Fluciclovine 18F

  3. Positive Predictive Value of FACBC to Detect Presence of Malignant Disease in Patients Undergoing Screening for Primary Prostate Cancer

    Positive Predictive Value is the percentage of participants with a positive Fluciclovine 18F scan who truly have positive finding in biopsy.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post Fluciclovine 18F

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Detection Rate, Sensitivity, Specificity, and Negative Predictive Value in Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer

    Detection rate is the percentage of participants with positive finding in Fluciclovine 18F scan.

    Sensitivity is the percentage of participants with positive finding in biopsy correctly identified as positive by Fluciclovine 18F scan.

    Specificity is the percentage of participants with negative finding in biopsy correctly identified as negative by Fluciclovine 18F scan.

    Negative Predictive Value is the percentage of participants with a negative Fluciclovine 18F scan who truly don't have positive finding in biopsy.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post Fluciclovine 18F

  2. Detection Rate, Sensitivity, Specificity, and Negative Predictive Value to Detect Presence of Malignant Disease in Patients Undergoing Screening for Primary Prostate Cancer

    Detection rate is the percentage of participants with positive finding in Fluciclovine 18F scan.

    Sensitivity is the percentage of participants with positive finding in biopsy correctly identified as positive by Fluciclovine 18F scan.

    Specificity is the percentage of participants with negative finding in biopsy correctly identified as negative by Fluciclovine 18F scan.

    Negative Predictive Value is the percentage of participants with a negative Fluciclovine 18F scan who truly don't have positive finding in biopsy.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post Fluciclovine 18F

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Blue Earth Diagnostics at 4 sites in 3 countries.

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 2 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 19 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Norway, United States, Italy. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Oct 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 35 days post Fluciclovine 18F). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02443571, 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?
