Prostate cancer is a significant health issue, representing 21.8% of male cancer cases in France with over 449,000 new cases in 2018. It's the cause of 10% of cancer deaths in Europe. The PSMA is a target for mCRPC treatment, with therapies like 177Lu-PSMA-617 delivering radiation to cancer cells. The Vision study showed that 177Lu-PSMA-617, combined with standard care, improved survival rates significantly compared to standard care alone.The French ANSM authorized 177Lu-PSMA-617 for mCRPC under certain conditions. Patients must have histologically confirmed mCRPC, be progressive despite treatment, and have PSMA-positive imaging. Imaging assessments include PSMA PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT to identify FDG-positive and PSMA-negative sites, which are associated with a poorer prognosis. Parametric analysis using dynamic PET could improve lesion characterization, aiding in treatment decisions. This is the focus of the PyPET study. The main objective focuses on a comparative analysis of data from dynamic parametric analysis (metabolic influx rate Ki, volume of distribution Vd) and static analysis (standard at 1 hour) using 18F-FDG and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for diagnosing metastases, especially in the liver, lymph nodes, and bones. It aims to assess the effectiveness of these imaging techniques in accurately identifying metastatic sites.
PSMA-PET/CT or PSMA-PET/MRI are more accurate imaging modalities compared to CT/BS; in approximately 10-20% of high-risk patients diagnosed using conventional imaging PSMA-PET up-stages the disease. Therefore a substantial proportion of high-risk patients previously considered as non-metastatic are expected to be diagnosed with oligometastatic disease. While standard treatment pathways exist for patients with non-metastatic or oligometastatic disease confirmed using conventional imaging, less is known about the optimal management of patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer on PSMA-PET. Currently, data on the safety, effectiveness and oncologic outcomes of local therapies in oligometastatic patients diagnosed using PSMA-PET have been poorly reported so far. Thus, there is a need for a prospectively maintained database to collect real-world clinical data to produce high-quality research on the optimal management in oligometastatic prostate cancer who underwent PSMA-PET for primary staging and subsequent local therapy. This database will allow centers to retro- and prospectively collect data to facilitate analysis and assessment of the outcomes of oligometastatic patients managed with local therapy.
STAMPEDE2 is a clinical trial comparing three new treatments with standard of care in people with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is responsive to hormone therapy. People from all backgrounds and ethnicities are encouraged to take part and multiple hospitals across the UK are involved. University College London is running the trial. Each comparison within the trial has its own control arm where people get the best standard of care (Arm A) versus a research arm where a new treatment is added to standard of care. Participants are allocated to an arm by a computerised system with a 50% chance of getting the research treatment. Comparison S: Arm A versus Arm S (Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR)) - Tests whether giving targeted doses of radiotherapy (SABR) to parts of the body where the cancer has spread slows the spread of the cancer and improves survival. 2476 people will be in this comparison. Comparison P: Arm A versus Arm P (PSMA-Lutetium (177Lu-PSMA-617)) - Tests whether giving a radioactive material (177Lu-PSMA-617) that targets prostate cancer cells slows the spread of the cancer and improves survival. 1756 people will be in this comparison. Comparison N: Arm A(N) versus Arm N (Niraparib-Abiraterone Acetate+Prednisolone (Nira-AA+P)) - Tests whether giving a new drug (Nira-AA+P) slows the spread of the cancer and improves survival. Only people with certain genetic changes in their tumour sample can take part in Comparison N. 682 people will be in this comparison. Participants may be able to take part in more than one comparison. All participants will be followed up with scans and tests to monitor their cancer. Doctors will check for any side effects from the treatments. Treatments will be stopped if side effects are serious, or people no longer wish to take the treatments.
This prospective study aims to collect data and blood biomarkers from patients undergoing Lu-PSMA therapy at the Erasmus MC. In doing so, it will provide real-world efficacy and safety data on the drug, gather dosimetry data and explore putative biomarkers to identify patients who most benefit from Lu-PSMA treatment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 cycles of combinatory adebrelimab and stereotactic radiotherapy, followed by monotherapy adebrelimab in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dr. Yao Zhu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center is the co-leading PI of this study.
Positron emission tomography (PET), an advanced diagnostic imaging technique, exploits the annihilation of positrons (e+) to delineate pathological alterations within diseased tissues. Integral to PET scanners are detector systems that transform gamma photons into fluorescent photons, thereby gleaning insights into the energy, time, and spatial distribution of gamma photons emanating from positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals. Conventional PET scanners, bear a significant financial burden primarily due to their reliance on LSO (lutetium oxyorthosilicate) or LYSO (lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate) scintillation crystals. The exorbitant cost and limited availability of these crystal scintillators impede the widespread adoption of PET scanners. In a departure from conventional PET technology, the prototype J-PET scanner employed in this trial employs plastic scintillators, characterized by unique physical properties. This prototype is further equipped with bespoke software enabling three-photon imaging based on the annihilation of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) generated within diseased tissue. This study delves into the clinical applicability of PET scanners employing plastic scintillators, particularly investigating the feasibility of PET imaging using plastic scintillators where gamma quanta interact by mechanisms other than the photoelectric effect. Furthermore, this study endeavors to contemporaneously acquire and analyze data related to the lifetime of ortho-positronium (o-P) atoms emanating from routine radiopharmaceuticals. Additionally, it seeks to validate the utilization of a novel diagnostic indicator, termed the "positron biomarker," through a prospective study, comparing its efficacy to conventional diagnostic PET scanning methodologies.
By doing this study, doctors hope to learn more about factors that contribute to frailty (a condition where older adults feel weak, get tired easily, and struggle more with everyday activities) and serious side effects among men over the age of 65 who will receive androgen deprivation therapy (also called "hormone therapy") for prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of their body. Participation in this research will last about 5 years. For the first year, participants will have 5 study visits where they have give blood samples, answer survey questions, and use a wearable device. After study visits are complete, there is a 4-year follow-up period. Research team will check regular doctor visits and look at participants' medical records.
The overall goal of the study is to improve equitable delivery of pre-Tumor genetic testing (TGT) counseling tool for Black or African American men with metastatic prostate cancer and evaluating the tool for implementation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how exercise intervention affects circulating tumor cells (CTC) in men with advanced prostate cancer. The primary objective is to determine if an exercise intervention decreases CTCs in men with advanced prostate cancer. Participants will have baseline screening assessments, followed by 12 weeks of exercise intervention, and then follow-up assessments 12 weeks after the end of the exercise intervention.
