Fluciclovine F18 or Ga68-PSMA PET/CT to Enhance Prostate Cancer Outcomes

NCT03762759

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan using fluciclovine F18 compared with a PET/CT scan with 68Ga-PSMA works in planning radiation treatments and enhancing outcomes in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. Fluciclovine F18 and 68Ga-PSMA are types of tracers, called radiotracers, that are injected and can accumulate in tumor cells to develop images of them during a PET/CT scan. It is not yet known whether giving fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA may work better in planning radiation treatments and enhancing outcomes in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

      I. Improve the outcomes of post-prostatectomy radiotherapy prostate cancer patients via
      selection and treatment optimization with advanced molecular imaging with dose escalation.

      II. Establish the role of advanced molecular imaging with fluciclovine F18 (fluciclovine
      [18F]) and gallium Ga68-labeled prostate specific membrane antigen PSMA-11 (68Ga-PSMA) PET/CT
      in influencing post-prostatectomy radiotherapy decision-making.

      III. Establish the role of advanced molecular imaging with fluciclovine 18F or 68Ga-PSMA in
      altering radiotherapy treatment volumes.

      OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM I: Patients receive fluciclovine F18 intravenously (IV) and undergo a PET/CT over
      approximately 30 minutes.

      ARM II: Patients receive 68Ga-PSMA IV, wait 60 minutes, then undergo a PET/CT over
      approximately 30 minutes.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 5
      years.

            Exclusion Criteria:
    
              -  Contraindications to radiotherapy (including active inflammatory bowel disease or
                 prior pelvic radiotherapy)

                      patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments
                      involved in this protocol may be significantly immunosuppressive.
                      Protocol-specific requirements may also exclude immunocompromised patients

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Disease-free survival
    Time Frame:Up to 2 years after study start
    Safety Issue:
    Description:A survival analysis will be conducted on disease-free survival (DFS). The survivor functions for DFS will be estimated with Kaplan and Meier method and plotted. The logrank test will be used to test the difference in DFS of (a) both arms in aggregate with the survivor function on our prior R01 trial and (b) between the two study arms.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Decision to offer radiotherapy
    Time Frame:Up to 5 years after study start
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Decision to offer radiotherapy or not between the initial (pre-fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA) and final (post-fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA) treatment decisions will be compared using the Clopper-Pearson (exact) binomial test.
    Measure:Decision to treat pelvic nodes
    Time Frame:Up to 5 years after study start
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Decision to provide treatment on pelvic nodes or not between the initial (pre-fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA) and final (post-fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA) treatment decisions will be compared using the Clopper-Pearson (exact) binomial test.
    Measure:Decision to boost between the initial and final treatment decisions
    Time Frame:Up to 5 years after study start
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Decision to boost or not between the initial (pre-fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA) and final (post-fluciclovine F18 or 68Ga-PSMA) treatment decisions will be compared using the Clopper-Pearson (exact) binomial test.
    Measure:Prostate bed clinical target volume (CTV) and planning target volume (PTV)
    Time Frame:Up to 5 years after study start
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Paired t-test will be used to compare the target volumes (CTV and PTV) and the planned dose delivered to surrounding bladder, rectum, and penile bulb between the initial (pre-positron emission tomography [PET]) and final (post-PET) radiation treatment plans.
    Measure:PTV of the rectum (V65, V40)
    Time Frame:Up to 5 years after study start
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Spearman's correlation coefficient will be used to measure the correlations of the bladder and rectum dosimetric endpoints (V65, V40) with the grades (0, 1, 2, or 3) of acute genitourinary (GU) or gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. A Wald test will be used to test the significance level of their correlations. A Cox model will be employed to assess the relationship between the time to late GU or GI toxicity (grade ≥ 2) and the bladder and rectum dosimetric endpoints (V65, V40), respectively.
