The GENPET Study - An Imaging Study of FCH-PET-CT in Men With Prostate Cancer and a DNA Repair Gene Mutation.

An Imaging Study of FCH-PET-CT in Men With Prostate Cancer and a DNA Repair Gene Mutation (GENPET)


Sponsor

Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Oct 15, 2015

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The aim of the study is to determine if PET-CT imaging (using contrast recommended in clinical guidelines) is superior to combined bone scan and MRI/CT of the abdomen \& pelvis in detecting the increased incidence of metastasis (nodal/distant outside the pelvis) in men with prostatic carcinoma with mutations in any of the following germline DNA repair genes BRCA1, BRCA2, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS2, CHEK2, PALB2, ATM.


Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is using a specialized PET-CT scan (using a tracer called FCH) to better image prostate cancer in men who carry a known DNA repair gene mutation — such as BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM. These genetic mutations affect how cancer grows and may make imaging-guided treatment more effective. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a man over 18 with a confirmed pathogenic mutation in one of these genes: BRCA1, BRCA2, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS2, CHEK2, PALB2, or ATM - You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and imaging is clinically needed — either at new diagnosis, for a biochemical relapse after curative treatment, or if on active surveillance with a rapidly rising PSA **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had another cancer (other than minor skin cancer) within 5 years - You have known metastatic prostate cancer - You have received cancer treatment within the past 6 months - You are taking steroids - You have a contraindication to MRI (pacemaker, claustrophobia, etc.) - You have a history of inflammatory conditions like sarcoidosis or inflammatory bowel disease Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
