Study Overview
Brief Summary
Background:
- Prostate cancer is the most common cancer type among men. Some prostate cancers respond to hormonal therapy. However, some cell characteristics of other prostate cancers cause it not to respond as well to these therapies. Researchers want to see if gadoxetate, a contrast agent used to help identify damaged liver tissue, can help tell these types of prostate cancer apart. It may be able to identify if a man has a type of prostate cancer for which hormone therapy may not work as well.
Objectives:
- To see if gadoxetate can help identify different types of prostate cancers during imaging studies.
Eligibility:
- Men at least 18 years of age who have prostate cancer. Participants will be having surgery to either remove the prostate or take tumor tissue samples.
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected.
- Participants will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the lower torso. They will receive gadoxetate during the MRI scan.
- Participants who have surgery will have a sample of their tumor cells collected. Those who have a biopsy will provide cells from this biopsy for study.
- Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.
Detailed Description
BACKGROUND:
- Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy among men in the western world. Prognostic biomarkers would be useful in stratifying patients to different treatments.
- The expression of a testosterone membrane transporter, organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3), is associated with shorter time to progression after hormonal ablation therapy and shorter overall survival in prostate cancer patients. 52% of localized prostate cancer lesions express OATP1B3, while 92% of prostate cancer metastases requiring hormonal ablation treatment, express OATP1B3 in soft tissue lesions. Expression of OATP1B3 also correlates with Gleason grade.
- Current imaging methods cannot predict treatment failure or resistance.
- Gadoxetate disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA) (Eovist , Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. Pittsburgh, PA) is an MR imaging agent which is FDA-approved gadolinium chelate for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as normal hepatocytes express OATP1B3 while most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) do not. However, those HCCs that do take up Eovist have been shown to express OATP1B3.
- Eovist may be useful to evaluate OATP1B3 status in patients with prostate cancer and may therefore serve as a prognostic and treatment biomarker.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
-Evaluate the uptake and retention of Eovist in prostate cancers.

Arms & Interventions
Participants with Advanced Disease
Advanced disease: who have failed hormone therapy and who have sufficient tissue from a soft tissue or metastatic bone lesion (measuring 1.5cm in diameter at computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan) available for organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3) immunohistochemistry (IHC) or must have a soft tissue or metastatic bone lesion that can be biopsied and be willing to undergo percutaneous biopsy to obtain tissue for OATP1B3 expression.
Intervention: Eovist (Drug)
Participants with Localized Disease
Localized disease: must have image guided biopsy confirmed prostate cancer and sufficient tissue available for OATP1B3 IHC.
Intervention: Eovist (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Uptake and Retention of Eovist in Prostate Cancers
Time Frame: Baseline and 20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes after Eovist injection
Uptake and retention of Eovist in prostate cancers is measured by the change of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameter values between pre and post injection.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants With Serious and Non-serious Adverse Events(From date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 3 years and 33 days)
- Baseline Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Levels of Patients Who Were Evaluated for Magnetic Resonance (MR) Contrast Enhancement Parameters Following Eovist Injection(Baseline)
- Number of Participants Who Were Evaluated for Magnetic Resonance (MR) Contrast Enhancement Parameters Following Eovist Injection With Respect to Gleason Score(At baseline)
