About this study

Official title: A Cancer Research UK Phase I Trial of 99mTc Demobesin-4 (a Diagnostic Radiopharmaceutical) Given Once Via Bolus Intravenous Injection for Imaging of Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as technetium Tc 99m demobesin-4 followed by single-photon emission computer tomography, CT scan, and MRI, may help find prostate cancer and learn the extent of disease.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of technetium Tc 99m demobesin-4 and to see how well it works for imaging procedures in patients with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the safety of technetium Tc 99m (^99mTc) demobesin-4 (DB4) in patients with prostate cancer.
  • To assess the biodistribution of ^99mTc DB4 in these patients.
  • To assess the pharmacokinetics of ^99mTc DB4 in these patients.

Secondary

  • To assess the performance of ^99mTc DB4 in detecting metastatic spread of prostate cancer in these patients.

Tertiary

  • To compare uptake of ^99mTc DB4 with levels of expression in gastrin-releasing peptide receptor in prostate tumor samples and lymph node specimens.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to diagnosis (cancer confined to prostate vs locally advanced disease vs metastatic disease).

Patients receive technetium Tc 99m (^99mTc) demobesin-4 (DB4) IV bolus over 1 minute and undergo imaging by single photon emission computer tomography, CT scan, and/or MRI up to 3 hours after infusion. Some patients undergo radical prostatectomy or surgical pelvic lymph node biopsies.

Blood and urine samples are collected at 5, 10, 20, 30, and 45 minutes at baseline and at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours after ^99mTc DB4 IV infusion for pharmacokinetic studies. Tumor tissue samples obtained during radical prostatectomy and surgical lymph node biopsies are analyzed for gastrin-releasing peptide receptor by IHC.

After completion of study intervention, patients are followed for up to 28 days.

Peer Reviewed and Funded or Endorsed by Cancer Research UK.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Causality of each adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v. 3.0

  2. Biodistribution of radioactivity of 99mTc DB4 by gamma-camera imaging

  3. Pharmacokinetics of 99mTc DB4 in blood and urine and assessment of decline over 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Performance of 99mTc DB4 gamma-camera imaging compared with conventional imaging (CT scan and/or MRI)

  2. Levels of expression in gastrin-releasing peptide in prostate tumor samples and lymph node specimens

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing immunohistochemistry staining method, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Cancer Research UK 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Causality of each adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v. 3.0. 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 Feb 2012.
