Brief Title: Hyperpolarized Carbon C 13 Pyruvate Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging in Predicting Treatment Response in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Official Title: Hyperpolarized 13-C-Pyruvate Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging Reproducibilty Pilot in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Study ID: NCT03581500
Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging works in predicting treatment response in patients with prostate cancer. Hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging may help to accurately predict how prostate cancer patients will respond to standard therapy (abiraterone and apalutamide).
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess reproducibility of quantitative spectroscopic and imaging parameters in hyperpolarized 13-C pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), including key performance indicator (kpl), which assesses the rate of conversion of 13-C pyruvate to 13-C lactate in the tissue of interest, using a test-retest study design. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To provide initial assessment of the sensitivity and specificity of hyperpolarized 13-C-pyruvate MRSI performed pre-therapy for detecting high risk localized prostate cancer. OUTLINE: Patients receive hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate intravenously (IV) over 10-20 seconds and undergo MRSI over 2-3 minutes at 6 and 8 weeks. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 1 day and then for up to 3 years.
