About this study

Official title: Whole Body Multi---Parametric MRI: Accuracy in Staging of Biochemically Relapsed Prostate Cancer

The investigator prospectively compare diagnostic concordance of whole body multi---parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with current conventional multi---modality reference standard imaging (CT scan, isotope bone scan +/--- PET---CT scan) for staging of prostate cancer patients with biochemical relapse following external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy of locally advanced prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

The investigators have developed and assessed the feasibility of performing whole---body multi---parametric MRI for staging metastatic disease. The investigators hypothesize that a whole body multi---parametric MRI will be more sensitive and specific than conventional imaging staging for detection of metastatic disease in patients with biochemical failure following local therapies. Investigators therefore propose a comparative trial of conventional imaging verses whole---body multi---parametric MRI within this population of men. The investigators would further like to explore whether heterogeneity between metastases of multi---parametric MRI signals can predict men unlikely to respond to ADT. The investigators aim to enhance the main study by exploratory work on exosome, pathway and genomic analysis, the results of which could lead to complimentary imaging / non---imaging biomarker combinations of clinical utility for patient stratification. Finally the investigators will perform a health economic analysis to assess the cost---effectiveness of whole---body multi---parametric MRI for metastatic disease staging compared with conventional staging with computed tomography and bone---scans.

  • Whole body MRIRadiation

    We have developed and assessed the feasibility of performing whole---body multi---parametric MRI for staging metastatic disease. We hypothesize that a whole body multi---parametric MRI will be more sensitive and specific than conventional imaging staging for detection of metastatic disease in patients with biochemical failure following local therapies. We therefore propose a comparative trial of conventional imaging verses whole---body multi---parametric MRI within this population of men

What is being measured

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

  1. The investigator will measure and analyse sensitivity and specificity of WB-MRI compared to conventional multi-modality imaging for detection of regional lymph node distant metastasis.T

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Interobserver agreement for WB-MRI: Per-site and per-nodal staging assessment will be done by two radiologists separately and then in consensus. Kappa agreement statistic will be tested for the level of agreement for per-site and per-patient assessments.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. The investigator will investigate whether there would be any significant correlation between MRI quantitative parameters and the response following treatment.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. The investigator will evaluate using blood test differences between two groups

    The investigator will evaluate using blood test, differences between Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor analysis in patients with castrate-resistant metastatic prostate cancer and non-metastatic patient to explore any significant differences between two groups

    Measured: 3 years

  4. The investigator will asses the Cost-effectiveness by comparing the direct and indirect costs of multi-modality imaging path versus WB-MRI path

    Measured: 3 years

  5. The investagator will measure sensitivity and specificity of WB-MRI compared to choline PET-CT for detection of regional lymph node distant metastasis. Analysis of sensitivity and specificity will be investigated on per-site basis and per-patient basis

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by University College, London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2016. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Joey J Clemente (02034479094 ext. 79094, joey.clemente@uclh.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The investigator will measure and analyse sensitivity and specificity of WB-MRI compared to conventional multi-modality imaging for detection of regional lymph node distant metastasis.T (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT02935816, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2016.
