Gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE PET/CT in Diagnosing Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma
Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma
Stage IV Prostate Cancer AJCC v7
Interventions
Procedure: CT (Computed Tomography)
Drug: Gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE
Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography
Registration Number
NCT03448458
Lead Sponsor
Emory University
Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other placed in the body. Gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE PET/CT may help doctors to identify those patients with early neuroendocrine transdifferentiation and who are at greater risk for poor outcomes.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Establish the feasibility of using gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE (68Ga-DOTATATE) PET as a predictive imaging biomarker for neuroendocrine transdifferentiation in prostate cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

Correlate progression of disease with degree of uptake on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET examination.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE intravenously (IV). Within 55-70 minutes, patients undergo PET/CT.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for at least 1 year.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE uptakeUp to 1 year post-therapy

Will be summarized using descriptive statistics. The inter-rater agreement will be assessed by Kappa statistics or intra-class correlation coefficient. The degree of uptake will be plotted against length of time to progress, and the association will be described by Spearman correlation coefficient with 95% confidence interval (CI). In addition, will dichotomize degree of update by median and defined it as high vs. low, and apply Wilcoxon rank sum test or Fisher exact test wherever appropriate.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression free survivalDate of enrollment to date of progression (radiographic progression or clinical deterioration) or death, or last follow up if event free, assessed up to 1 year

Will be associated with 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake. Will be described by Kaplan-Meier method along log-rank p-value.
