PSMA-based 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT: Evaluating Its Application in Real Life (PEARL)

February 12, 2019 updated by: Grand River Hospital
The purpose of the study is to provide pilot data on the clinical situations in which ordering a 18F-DCFPyL positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was thought to be clinically useful, and to document how the results of the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT affected patient management. The results of this study could then serve as a guide to help OHIP to consider these scenarios when deciding the precise indications for funded 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT scans in the future. In this study the investigators will image subjects with prostate cancer using 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT and record how the result of the study affected patient management.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This study will image male subjects with PCa using 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT for detection of disease with correlation to standard-of-care imaging (CT and bone scan) and clinical follow-up over a 1-year time period.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Age ≥ 18 years and male
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2
  • One of the following:
  • CT scan showing indeterminate lymph node(s) in the pelvis that could potentially be treated radically with radiotherapy if found to be positive on PSMA PET.
  • Suspected oligometastatic disease (< 4 sites of disease) that could potentially be treated with stereotactic/radical doses of radiotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Serious or uncontrolled co-existent non-malignant disease, including active and uncontrolled infection
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 95 mmHg)
  • Condition or situation which, in the investigator's opinion, may put the subject at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with subject's participation in the study
  • Not willing to comply with the procedural requirements of this protocol
  • Subjects who have partners of childbearing potential who are not willing to use a method of birth control with adequate barrier protection as determined to be acceptable by the principal investigator and sponsor during the study and for 13 weeks after last study drug administration.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To acquire pilot data on the use of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT following conventional imaging (CT and bone scan) for the detection of metastases in men with prostate cancer
Time Frame: 1 year
To acquire pilot data on the use of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT following conventional imaging (CT and bone scan) for the detection of metastases in men with prostate cancer when: 1. The CT scan shows indeterminate lymph node(s) in the pelvis that could potentially be treated radically with radiotherapy if found to be positive on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT; 2. The subject is suspected to have oligometastatic disease (< 4 sites of disease) that could potentially be treated with stereotactic/ radical doses of radiotherapy.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To acquire pilot data comparing the number and location of metastatic lesions on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT with standard of care imaging (CT and bone scan).
Time Frame: 1 year
1 year
To acquire pilot data on the change in management plans resulting from 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT compared with standard of care imaging (CT and bone scan).
Time Frame: 1 year

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
