18F-DCFPyL Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Intermediate or High Risk Prostate Cancer

January 23, 2024 updated by: Ashok Muthukrishnan

Phase 2 Study of 18F-DCFPyL Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Men With Intermediate or High Risk Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer

This is an interventional, single group assignment, prospective nonrandomized, open label Phase 2 trial designed to evaluate 18F-DCFPyL PET imaging in men diagnosed with prostate cancer with increasing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.

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.

Detailed Description

This is an trial designed to evaluate the positive predictive value of 18F-DCFPyL PET imaging in men diagnosed with prostate cancer with increasing PSA levels. Patients will receive a single dose of 18FDCFPyL PET and undergo a PET imaging study. 18F-DCFPyL Injection is an 18F-labeled small molecule that targets the extracellular domain of PSMA. One intravenous catheter will be placed for radiopharmaceutical administration. Patients will be injected with ≤ 333 MBq (≤ 9 mCi) of 18F-DCFPyL via this catheter. The dose range for 18F-DCFPyL will be 7 - 9 mCi. The PET imaging may be repeated at a later date if the biopsy of the lesion is negative and if the lesion is present on follow-up imaging.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer
  • Biochemical recurrence was defined as a PSA of 0.2 or more ng/mL measured more than 6 weeks after prostatectomy or a PSA of 2 or more ng/mL rise above nadir following radiation therapy (ASTRO Phoenix consensus definition)
  • Age ≥ 18 years of age
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document
  • Willing to comply with clinical trial instructions and requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of another active malignancy within 3 years, other than basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Presence of prostate brachytherapy implants unless approved by the PI

  • Radiation or chemotherapy within 2 weeks prior to trial enrollment
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 15 ml/mmol
  • Serum total bilirubin > 3 times the upper limit of normal
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 5 times the upper limit of normal
  • Inadequate venous access
  • Claustrophobia or any other condition that would preclude PET imaging
  • Patients must not be receiving ADT except per criteria directly below. Patients who received in the past must have a serum testosterone that is recovered to at least 100 ng/dL.
  • Patients who have been on ADT +/- novel hormonal agent (NHA) and developed M0 CRPC

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: 18F-DCFPyL + PET imaging

Participants will receive a single dose of 18F-DCFPyL and undergo a PET imaging study.

(The PET imaging may be repeated at a later date if the biopsy of the lesion is negative and if the lesion is present on follow-up imaging.)
Drug: 18F-DCFPyL
18F-DCFPyL (single dose injection) - a radiolabeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand

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
Positive Predictive Value (PPV) (Per-patient)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Number of patients with true positive scans (TP - positive test with disease) divided by number of TP plus number of false positive scans (FP - positive test without disease). A scan will be deemed 'positive' if at least one lesion suggestive of disease recurrence is noted. Prostate lesions and lymph nodes will be considered positive if the uptake in those lesions exceeds blood pool activity. Bone lesions will be recorded as positive if the activity is higher than normal bone marrow uptake.
Up to 12 months

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Positive Predictive Value (PPV) (Per-region)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Number of true positive scans (TP - positive test with disease) divided by number of TP plus number of false positive scans (FP - positive test without true disease), by region (prostate bed, locoregional lymph nodes, distant lymph nodes, bones, and/or visceral organs). A scan will be deemed 'positive' if at least one lesion suggestive of disease recurrence is noted. Prostate lesions and lymph nodes will be considered positive if the uptake in those lesions exceeds blood pool activity. Bone lesions will be recorded as positive if the activity is higher than normal bone marrow uptake.
Up to 12 months
