About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Practice of the TEP Choline in Provence - Alps and Côte d'Azur at Patients With Prostate Cancer - Multicentre Retrospective Study.

The prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease the care of which varies according to the status: localized, locally advanced, or in recurrence after local or metastatic treatment. The precise evaluation of the degree of extension of the disease is thus essential because it is going to allow to adapt at best the therapeutic strategy.

Contrary to the abdomino-pelvic scanning and to the osseous scintigraphy which(who) are a member(part) of the balance assessment of standard extension of the prostate cancer, the place of the Tomography with broadcast of Positrons to scan (TEP scan) in Choline in the management of patients affected by prostate cancer is not clearly defined in the national and European recommendations.

The current marketing authorization ( AMM) is the research for bones localizations in the prostatic cancers at high risk. It indeed seems that this examination is more successful than the standard radiological examinations (bone scintigraphy and abdomino-pelvic scanning) in the detection of the bone metastatic hurts, with a sensibility of about 100 % and a precision of the order of 93 % according to certain studies.

The recent data of the literature suggest a quite particular interest at the patients in situation of biochemical recurrence in terms of localization of (or) tumoral site (s).

THE AMM however not specifying if this examination has to be made within the framework of the initial balance sheet of extension, at the time of the biochemical second offense or at the known metastatic stage, there is a big variability of the practices according to the centers.

The current indications being very ill-assorted, he is interesting being able to estimate the heterogeneousness of the practices of way multicentre, by leading a study observationally retrospective in region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes.

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 1 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 28 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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 TEP scan in Choline indications in the care of prostate cancers and more particularly the search for bone metastasis at diagnosis (time frame: One 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 28 Jun 2017.
