About this study

Official title: 11C-Methionine and 2-18F-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose PET Imaging in Patients With Progressive Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: New imaging procedures, such as PET scan, may improve the ability to detect new or recurrent prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Measure the pharmacokinetics, whole body retention of isotope, and biodistribution of C11-methionine and FDG by PET imaging and serial sampling of blood in men with progressive prostate cancer.
  • Explore metabolism of each PET scan by comparing the sensitivity of C11-methionine or FDG by PET scanning in androgen independent prostate cancer metastases with the sensitivity of C11-methionine or FDG in androgen dependent metastases on a site by site basis.
  • Compare C11-methionine and FDG PET scanning to standard of care diagnostic studies which include the Tc 99m bone scan, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Patients fast for 6 hours prior to PET imaging with the exception of liberal water intake which is encouraged. A two way catheter is placed in the urinary bladder, and continuous isotonic saline irrigation is performed throughout scan acquisition to reduce the interference in imaging lesions in the pelvic lymph nodes and adjacent pelvic bones caused by radiation excreted in urine held in the bladder.

Each patient receives C11-methionine intravenously. PET imaging begins immediately after injection for approximately 60 minutes total using standard imaging procedures. Immediately following the completion of imaging after C11-methionine administration, each patient receives FDG intravenously. PET imaging begins approximately 45 minutes thereafter for approximately 60 minutes using standard imaging procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing positron emission tomography, fludeoxyglucose F 18 and methionine C 11 in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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?

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 3 Jun 2024. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Jun 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: Up to 9 years). 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 3 Jun 2024.
