Fluciclovine (Axumin) PET/CT vs. NaF PET/CT in Prostate Cancer Osseous Metastatic Disease

March 21, 2022 updated by: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center

[F-18] Fluciclovine (Axumin) PET/CT vs. [F-18] NaF PET/CT in the Evaluation of Prostate Cancer Osseous Metastatic Disease

The purpose of this study is to look at whether F-18 Fluciclovine (i.e. Axumin) is better or as good as F-18 Sodium Fluoride (F-18 NaF) when looking at bone disease from prostate cancer. Axumin is a radioactive agent used on a positron/computed tomography (PET/CT) camera to look for prostate cancer in general.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study will assess the diagnostic performance of [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT compared to [F-18] NaF PET/CT as the reference standard. Each bone lesion identified on [F-18] NaF PET/CT will be compared with the level of [F-18] fluciclovine uptake

The primary objective is to assess [F-18] fluciclovine efficacy in the evaluation of osseous metastatic disease in prostate cancer on a lesion-by-lesion comparison with [F-18] NaF as a the reference standard.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of lesions seen by [F-18] NaF PET/CT which are also seen by [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT
Time Frame: At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan

Agreement of imaging methods as measured by number of lesions seen by [F-18] NaF PET/CT which are also seen by [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT broken down by diagnostic score on a lesion-by-lesion basis (1 to 5)

  1. Definitely benign
  2. Probably benign
  3. Equivocal
  4. Probably malignant
  5. Definitely malignant
At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan
Sensitivity
Time Frame: At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan

Accuracy of [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT compared to [F-18] NaF PET/CT evaluated via sensitivity

Sensitivity is the number of true positives (TP) divided by the sum of TP and false negatives (FN):

Sensitivity = TP / (TP+FN)

At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan
Specificity
Time Frame: At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan

Accuracy of [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT compared to [F-18] NaF PET/CT evaluated via specificity

Specificity is the number of true Negatives (TN) divided by the sum of TN and false positives (FP):

Sensitivity = TN / (TN+FP)

At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan
Positive Predictive Value (PPV)
Time Frame: At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan

Accuracy of [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT compared to [F-18] NaF PET/CT evaluated via PPV

PPV is the number of true TP divided by the sum of TP and FP:

Sensitivity = TP / (TP+FP)

At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan
Negative Predictive Value (NPV)
Time Frame: At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan

Accuracy of [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT compared to [F-18] NaF PET/CT evaluated via NPV

NPV is the number of true TN divided by the sum of TN and FN:

Sensitivity = TN / (TN+FN)

At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan
Area under the curve (AUC)
Time Frame: At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan
Accuracy of [F-18] fluciclovine PET/CT compared to [F-18] NaF PET/CT evaluated via AUC using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves
At time of scan, up to 60 minutes per scan
