BR55 in Prostate Cancer: an Exploratory Clinical Trial

Early Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Prostate Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: BR55

• Registration Number: NCT01253213
• Lead Sponsor: Bracco Diagnostics, Inc

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether BR55 is able to identify areas of VEGFR2 expression in human prostate by ultrasound molecular imaging.

This will be compared with histopathology analysis (location based on expression of VEGFR2 in tissue specimens determined by immuno-histochemistry, IHC).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
BR55 sensitivity assessment	Day 1	Assess the ability of BR55 to identify area(s) of VEGFR2 expression in human prostate by ultrasound molecular imaging on the basis of a visual score in comparison with histopathology analysis (location based on expression of VEGFR2 in tissue specimens determined by immuno-histochemistry, IHC).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
BR55 specificity assessment	Day 1	Evaluate the specificity of BR55 targeting for prostate cancer relative to normal prostate gland on the basis of a visual score in comparison with routine histopathology analysis and IHC assessment of VEGFR2 expression in tissue specimens.
