About this study

Primary objective:

To correlate the blood/urine metabolomic biomarkers with PET/MR imaging.

Secondary objectives:

  1. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the PET/MR in diagnosis of prostate cancer.
  2. To examine the diagnostic performance among subgroups of defined high-risk and low-risk subjects.
  3. To interrogate the metabolomic alterations with the molecular PET/MR to develop workable panel biomarkers.
Read the detailed description

According to 2015 National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline, medical imaging plays important roles for detection and staging for PCa, in addition to blood or urine biomarkers. Although there are a number of very different diagnostic imaging methods, e.g. transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and spectroscopy, or 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET), none of these have gained a dominant role as the optimum method for all clinical scenarios.The recently added armamentarium, PET/MR, might improve diagnosis in this regard.

Therefore, we conduct this trial to identify the ability of [11C]Choline PET/MR to evaluate the patients with prostate cancer, especially under the circumstance of elevated PSA level.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03451812
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
prostate cancerThe newly diagnostic number for the high-risk PCa patients in our hospital annually is ~70, it is clinically feasible to recruit 40 patients a year since the study begins. The study could be completed in 3 years with 120 cases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic Accuracy

    sensitivity, specificity, accuracy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Adenocarcinoma, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 12 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 8 Aug 2019. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Gigin Lin, MD, PhD (886-3281200 ext. 2575, giginlin@cgmh.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic Accuracy (time frame: 1 year). 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 8 Aug 2019.
