PET/MR Assessment of Sipuleucel T Treatment for Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

July 13, 2017 updated by: NYU Langone Health

Multimodality Imaging Assessment of Sipuleucel T Treatment and in Vivo Immune Response of Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients

This study intents to provide an initial evaluation of the utility of positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging measures for the prediction of immunological response to Sipuleucel T (SipT) therapy.

Detailed Description

Recent studies of treatments of prostate cancer through stimulation of adaptive immune response have indicated the linear measurements by computed tomography (CT) and nuclear scans used to assess tumor response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) were inadequate and the value of progression-free survival (PFS) as a predictive surrogate endpoint of survival was lost.

The objective of this study is to provide an initial evaluation of the utility of PET/MR imaging measures for the prediction of immunological response to SipT therapy. Investigators expect to identify an"imaging-signature" of response to SipT based on changes in metabolism, perfusion, oxygenation and cellularity of metastasis and its correlation with immunological and clinical response. This approach will help elucidate the mechanism of activity and dynamics of immune antitumor responses to SipT in vivo and to identify new parameters of tumor response and predictive value than current RECIST and PFS standards.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: PET/MR
Patients treated with SipT (standard of care) undergo FDG-PET/MRI, NaF-PET/CT and blood drawing at 3 time points: baseline, Day 7 after the last SipT infusion, Week 10 after the last SipT infusion.
Device: PET/CT
Device: PET/MRI

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of patients with imaging parameter change(s) among the patients with immunological response
Time Frame: up to 14 weeks
NaF-PET/CT, FDG-PET/MRI, and blood drawing (for immunological response) are performed on patients at baseline, day 7 after the last SipT infusion, and week 10 after the last SipT infusion. The changes in SUV (standard uptake value) max on FDG-PET and NaF-PET, in MRI-ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient ) value, in MRI contrast enhancement, and in T2 lesion size will be measured.
up to 14 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of patients with imaging parameter change(s) among the patients who respond per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST)
Time Frame: up to 14 weeks
NaF-PET/CT, FDG-PET/MRI, and blood drawing (for immunological response) are performed on patients at baseline, day 7 after the last SipT infusion, and week 10 after the last SipT infusion. The changes in SUV max on FDG-PET and NaF-PET, in MRI-ADC value, in MRI contrast enhancement, and in T2 lesion size will be measured.
up to 14 weeks
