About this study

the increase in the serum PSA (prostate specific antigen) value following radical treatment commonly involves subsequent treatment which, in the absence of morphological evidence of disease recovery, is conducted empirically through local radiotherapy or systemic hormonal therapy. The use of PET with choline is therefore of extreme clinical interest as it allows to identify the site of disease recurrence, thus being able to direct towards a specific therapeutic treatment. The diagnostic accuracy of choline PET in identifying the location of the disease has been widely demonstrated in the literature and is comparable to those of conventional diagnostic methods previously described for the restaging of patients with prostatic disease. The real advantage of this method is the possibility of obtaining the same information as conventional methods by carrying out a single exam.

What participants receive

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

  • Diagnostic accuracyDiagnostic test

    The PET CT study with choline, being part of the normal standard diagnostic work-up of the patients, was performed following the normal clinical protocol. By analyzing the data retrospectively, the time elapsed following the prostatectomy operation and the follow up time after the choline PETCT study will be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Choline PET-CT for the restaging of patients with prostatic disease.

    By analyzing the data retrospectively, the time elapsed following the prostatectomy operation and the follow up time after the choline PETCT study will be evaluated.

    Measured: 1 year

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?

Choline PET-CT for the restaging of patients with prostatic disease. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
