68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin PET/MRI in Imaging Patients With Prostate Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Carcinoma
Interventions
Drug: 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin
Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan
Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan
Registration Number
NCT02440308
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies the use of gallium-68 (68Ga)-DOTA-Bombesin as the imaging agent for positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), collectively PET-MRI, in patients with prostate cancer. PET uses a radioactive substance called 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin, which attaches to tumor cells with specific receptors on their surfaces. The PET scanner takes pictures that capture where the radioactive drug is "lighting up" and attaching to tumor cells, which may help doctors recognize differences between tumor and healthy prostate tissue. MRI uses radio waves and a magnet to make a picture of areas inside the body. Using 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin in diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may allow doctors to identify smaller tumors than standard imaging.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the feasibility and biodistribution of 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin (BAY 86-7548 or 68Ga-DOTA RM2).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin intravenously (IV) and then undergo PET/MRI approximately 1 hour later.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24 hours and 1 week.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Normal Biodistribution of 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin1 hour

Radiopharmaceutical uptake in normal organs will be evaluated visually and measured semi-quantitatively using standardized uptake values (SUV) derived from the PET/CT scan software in patients with prostate cancer. Uptake values in different tissues will be measured as SUVmean (mean value for SUV). SUVmean values reflect relative uptake of the radiolabel into the tissue.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin FeasibilityUp to 1 week

Feasibility of 68Ga-DOTA-Bombesin as a radiopharmaceutical for PET/MRI was assessed as the percentage of enrolled subjects who complete the examination, and for which the PET/MRI data were evaluable.
