Trial summary

The standard of care imaging of prostate cancer metastases recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan, may be suboptimal. PyL is a novel PET tracer designed to detect prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate cancer cells. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Patients meet one of the follow criteria:
  • Cohort 1: High risk prostate cancer (PSA >10, Gleason 8-10, or clinical stage >T2c) and planned prostatectomy or radiation therapy or Cohort 2: Biochemical prostate cancer relapse (Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) > 0.2 ng/ml in patients following prostatectomy or ≥ 2 ng/ml more than the PSA nadir in patient following radiotherapy, as defined by the ASTRO-Phoenix criteria [18] and no evidence of malignancy on standard of care imaging for metastases (CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan) within 3 months.

Who cannot join

  • Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data.
  • Patients who cannot undergo PET/CT scanning because of weight limits. PET/CT scanners may not be able to function with patients over 450 pounds.
  • Change in therapy since standard of care imaging

About this study

Official title: 2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-[(6-18F-fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-Amino]-Pentyl}-Ureido)-Pentanedioic Acid (PyL) in Patients With High Risk and Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer

The standard of care imaging of prostate cancer metastases recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan, may be suboptimal. PyL is a novel PET tracer designed to detect prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate cancer cells. PyL PET/CT may provide improved evaluation of clinically significant metastases in patients with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

This will be a phase II clinical trial to assess the clinical value of PyL for detection of disease in pateints with:

  1. High risk prostate cancer and planned prostatectomy or radiation therapy (arm 1) and
  2. Biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (arm 2) but without evidence of disease of standard of care imaging (CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan).

In both cohorts, PyL PET/CT will be obtained and evaluated by a nuclear radiologist trained in novel PET radiotracers, including PyL. Lesions suspicious for disease of PyL that were unsuspected on standard of care imaging will be selected for biopsy for pathologic confirmation if feasible . Pathology will be used as the reference standard for confirming malignancy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection of unsuspected metastases in high risk prostate cancer

    Determine the rate of detection of unsuspected metastases in patients with high risk prostate cancer and planned prostatectomy or radiation therapy.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  2. Detection of unsuspected metastases in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer

    Determine the rate of detection of unsuspected metastases in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer, yet no evidence of disease on CT/bone scan.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DCFPyL PET/CT in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian 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 4 inclusion and 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Beth Thomsen (949-764-4577, clinicalresearch@hoag.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection of unsuspected metastases in high risk prostate cancer (time frame: up to 4 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04700332, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jul 2021.
