Hyperpolarized Pyruvate (13C) MR Imaging in Monitoring Patients With Prostate Cancer on Active Surveillance

A Phase 2 Study of Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging With Hyperpolarized Pyruvate (13C) in Patients With Prostate Cancer on Active Surveillance


Sponsor

University of California, San Francisco

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Jul 18, 2018

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial studies the side how well hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate (HP C-13 pyruvate) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in monitoring patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance who have not received treatment. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help visualize HP C-13 pyruvate uptake and breakdown in tumor cells.


Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses a specialized MRI technique with a metabolic tracer (hyperpolarized carbon-13 pyruvate) to detect early changes in low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer in men on active surveillance — the watch-and-wait approach — to help identify who might benefit from treatment sooner. **You may be eligible if...** - You have biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer with low to intermediate risk - You are enrolled in or planning to join active surveillance (monitoring without immediate treatment) - You have an upcoming fusion biopsy within 12 weeks (for Part 2 of the study) - You are in good overall health (ECOG 0-1) with adequate blood and kidney function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have high-risk prostate cancer - You are already receiving active treatment for prostate cancer - Your blood counts or kidney function are below the required thresholds Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
