About this study

Official title: A Pilot Phase I Open Label Study of Cu-64-TP3805 PET Imaging for Detection of Prostate Cancer in Men Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy

This pilot phase I trial studies copper Cu 64 TP3805 (Cu-64-TP3805) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in detecting cancer in patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery to remove the entire prostate and some of the tissue around it (radical prostatectomy). Many patients with benign lesions must undergo biopsy to test the lesion. Cu-64-TP3805 is a radioactive substance that attaches to cancer cells but not normal cells. PET/CT uses a scanner to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the radioactive substance is lighting up. Using Cu-64-TP3805 PET/CT scans and comparing them with cancer tissue obtained from surgery may help doctors learn whether Cu-64-TP3805 PET/CT can accurately detect prostate lesions and determine whether they are cancerous or benign, which may minimize the need for prostate biopsies.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the ability of Cu-64-TP3805 to detect prostate cancer (PC) within the prostate gland, as compared with whole mount step-sectioned surgical pathology of the prostate after radical prostatectomy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive copper Cu 64 TP3805 intravenously (IV) and undergo PET/computed tomography (CT) at 30 minutes and 2 hours post-injection. Patients then undergo radical prostatectomy within 1 to 3 weeks after scans.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection rate of Cu-64 PET imaging of PC

    The proportion of lesions detected with Cu-64 PET will be determined and compared with tumor maps derived from the whole mount step sectioned surgical pathology analysis of the radical prostatectomy specimen after surgery. 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. As a secondary analysis, a generalized estimating equations will be utilized to account for multiple lesions in an individual patient.

    Measured: Baseline (at time of surgery)

  2. Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: Up to 30 days post Cu-64-TP3805 injection procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Copper Cu 64 TP3805, Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography in people with Prostate Adenocarcinoma and Stage IIB Prostate Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University 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 5 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 2 May 2025. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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?

Detection rate of Cu-64 PET imaging of PC (time frame: Baseline (at time of surgery)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 May 2025.
