Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the protein pattern in your blood can predict whether or not your prostate tumor is aggressive. We will use a new and very sensitive technique, called mass spectroscopy, to measure hundreds of pieces of protein in your blood. A computer will make a picture of the protein pattern.

About this study

Official title: Serum Protein Profiling to Characterize Patient Risk in Men Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy

The purpose of this study is to see if the protein pattern in your blood can predict whether or not your prostate tumor is aggressive. We will use a new and very sensitive technique, called mass spectroscopy, to measure hundreds of pieces of protein in your blood. A computer will make a picture of the protein pattern. We will do this in 500 men before their prostate surgery and see if there is a pattern that predicts what the tumor looks like under the microscope. We will also check the protein pattern in your blood 6 weeks to 12 months after the surgery to see if your pattern changes.

Read the detailed description

In this pilot study, we propose to address the question: is there a small peptide mass proteomic profile/pattern in blood that can distinguish men with a clinically insignificant/latent prostate cancer from men with more advanced pathological features? We will obtain a pre-operative blood sample from men with clinically localized prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy and determine their preoperative small peptide mass proteomic profile. The pathological features of the radical prostatectomy will be determined and the patient will be classified as having either a pathologically insignificant/latent prostate cancer or a significant cancer. We will then analyze whether or not the small peptide mass proteomic profile in blood can distinguish these groups before radical prostatectomy. In addition, each of these patients will have a blood sample collected at least 6 weeks to 12 months after surgery to evaluate and compare changes that occur as a result of radical prostatectomy. This will determine the effect of radical prostatectomy on the small peptide mass proteomic profile in blood and determine if the proteomic profiles in blood collected prior to radical prostatectomy can identify men at increased risk for recurrence.

What participants receive

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

  • Whole Blood DrawOther

    The plan is to obtain the research blood sample at the time of routine preoperative and postoperative blood testing, typically performed 1-2 weeks prior to surgery and then again 6 weeks to 12 months after surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine if men with pathologically latent prostate cancer have a different preoperative proteomic profile than men with a pathologically significant cancer.

    Measured: conclusion of study

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To determine the effect of radical prostatectomy on the proteomic profile in blood samples from men with a pathologically latent cancer. This should suggest the contribution of 'benign'prostate to the small peptide proteomic profile in blood.

    Measured: conclusion of study

  2. To determine the effect of radical prostatectomy on the protein profile in blood samples from men with pathologically significant cancer. This should (in combination with 2) suggest the contribution of prostate cancer to the proteome in blood samples.

    Measured: preoperative and postoperative

  3. Determine if pre-tx small peptide proteomic profile in blood collected prior to rad. prostatectomy can ident men at increased risk for recurrence, compared to only using the postop nomogram to assess risk of biochem recur after radical prostatectomy

    Measured: preoperative and postoperative

  4. Determine the impact of sample type on proteomic results, will obtain both coagulated & anti-coagulated samples & perform these studies in parallel to examine which collect method might prove the optimal source for improving our predictive models.

    Measured: preoperative and postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of 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?

The sponsor lists 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2022. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To determine if men with pathologically latent prostate cancer have a different preoperative proteomic profile than men with a pathologically significant cancer. (time frame: conclusion of study). 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 23 Jun 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
