68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin PET/MRI in Imaging Patients With Prostate Cancer

February 28, 2017 updated by: Andrei Iagaru, Stanford University

68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin PET/MRI in the Evaluation of Patients With Prostate Cancer: A Feasibility Study

This clinical trial studies the use of gallium-68 (68Ga)-DOTA-Bombesin as the imaging agent for positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), collectively PET-MRI, in patients with prostate cancer. PET uses a radioactive substance called 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin, which attaches to tumor cells with specific receptors on their surfaces. The PET scanner takes pictures that capture where the radioactive drug is "lighting up" and attaching to tumor cells, which may help doctors recognize differences between tumor and healthy prostate tissue. MRI uses radio waves and a magnet to make a picture of areas inside the body. Using 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin in diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may allow doctors to identify smaller tumors than standard imaging.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the feasibility and biodistribution of 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin (BAY 86-7548 or 68Ga-DOTA RM2).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin intravenously (IV) and then undergo PET/MRI approximately 1 hour later.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24 hours and 1 week.

Description

INCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Provides written informed consent
  • Known diagnosis of prostate cancer

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin PET/MRI
Patients receive 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin IV and then undergo PET/MRI approximately 1 hour later.

68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin is a gallium-68-labeled gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPr) antagonist. DOTA is [4,7,10-Tris-(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododec-1-yl]-acetyl.

68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin is administered intravenously (IV)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Normal Biodistribution of 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin
Time Frame: 1 hour
Radiopharmaceutical uptake in normal organs will be evaluated visually and measured semi-quantitatively using standardized uptake values (SUV) derived from the PET/CT scan software in patients with prostate cancer. Uptake values in different tissues will be measured as SUVmean (mean value for SUV). SUVmean values reflect relative uptake of the radiolabel into the tissue.
1 hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin Feasibility
Time Frame: Up to 1 week
Feasibility of 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin as a radiopharmaceutical for PET/MRI was assessed as the percentage of enrolled subjects who complete the examination, and for which the PET/MRI data were evaluable.
Up to 1 week
