About this study

Official title: Pilot Feasibility Study of 18F-FMAU PET for Diagnosing and Characterizing Prostate Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies how well fluorine F 18 d-FMAU (18F-FMAU) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in diagnosing and characterizing prostate cancer. A PET/CT scan is an imaging test that uses a small amount of radioactive tracer that is given through the vein to take detailed pictures of areas inside the body where the tracer is taken up. Radiotracers such as 18F-FMAU may help to find the cancer and see how far the disease has spread.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To perform a prospective clinical imaging evaluation of 18F-FMAU PET/CT in addition to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and standard transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided 12-core biopsy for detection and localization of primary tumor in 40 men with suspected prostate cancer based on elevated/rising prostate specific antigen level, abnormal digital rectal exam, or those with prior negative standard biopsy who are now returning for a standard of care follow-up.

II. To examine the associations between the PET derived imaging parameters, serum PSA, mpMRI parameters (apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC], Ktrans) and the biopsy histopathology parameters.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive radiotracer F 18 d-FMAU intravenously (IV) over 1 minute and then undergo 18F-FMAU PET/CT on day 1. Patients then undergo standard of care multiparametic MRI and standard of care transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 24-96 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of men for whom biopsy cores taken based only on the 18F-FMAU PET/CT results would have yielded the same overall diagnosis as the standard TRUS-guided core or the mpMRI-directed prostate biopsies

    Standard descriptive methods will be used to summarize the data collected: means, standard deviations, ranges, and confidence intervals (or medians, quartiles), contingency tables, histograms, correlation coefficients (Pearson or Spearman) and scatter plots. The scatter plots and correlations between each of the histopathology parameters and the imaging parameters will be examined to better understand the relationships.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Proportion of men for whom the 18F-FMAU PET/CT identified all lesions that were found to have cancer based on the standard TRUS-guided and the mpMRI directed core prostate biopsies

    Standard descriptive methods will be used to summarize the data collected: means, standard deviations, ranges, and confidence intervals (or medians, quartiles), contingency tables, histograms, correlation coefficients (Pearson or Spearman) and scatter plots. The scatter plots and correlations between each of the histopathology parameters and the imaging parameters will be examined to better understand the relationships.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Proportion of men who completed both imaging procedures and for whom biopsy cores taken based only on the fluorine 18F-FMAU PET/CT results would have yielded the same overall diagnosis as the standard TRUS-guided core prostate biopsies

    Standard descriptive methods will be used to summarize the data collected: means, standard deviations, ranges, and confidence intervals (or medians, quartiles), contingency tables, histograms, correlation coefficients (Pearson or Spearman) and scatter plots. The scatter plots and correlations between each of the histopathology parameters and the imaging parameters will be examined to better understand the relationships.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CAT, 18F-FMAU and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Prostate Neoplasm, 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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2023. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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 for whom biopsy cores taken based only on the 18F-FMAU PET/CT results would have yielded the same overall diagnosis as the standard TRUS-guided core or the mpMRI-directed prostate biopsies (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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?
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 7 Sep 2023.
