What this study is about

View original scientific description
Sequential cohort evaluation of ideal timing of imaging and treatment spacing to discern maximal PSMA (Prostate specific membrane antigen) PET (Positron Emission Tomography) response (PSMA-11 68Ga, Illucix) for adaptation of dominant intra-prostatic lesion tumor boost dose
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- -Pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate (within 180 days of registration) of high risk by national comprehensive cancer network (NCCN) criteria as determined by \>=cT3a stage (AJCC 8th edition) OR PSA\>20ng/mL OR ISUP Grade Group 4-5 (Gleason Grade 8-10). Age ≥ 18 years.
- Planned for definitive intent stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SabR) with integrated dose boost to intra-prostatic tumor and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with baseline AUA IPSS \<=18 and prostate size \<=100cc
- Staging 68Ga PMSA-11 PET -CT or -MRI performed within 90 days of registration and before initiation of anti-androgen or androgen deprivation therapy and demonstrating no evidence of distant metastases by (PMSA avid or non-avid nodes \<=1.5cm short axis allowed). Conventional imaging (CT, bone scan, MRI) may also be used in addition to PMSA-PET, and definitive findings of distant extra-pelvic metastases on these scans are not allowed for enrollment.
- Staging 68Ga PSMA-11 PET -CT or -MRI demonstrating a PSMA-avid primary intra-prostatic target lesion amenable at investigator discretion to dose boost
- All men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of standard of care SabR and for a period of time of 6 months thereafter as per standard guidelines. Should a man's partner become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
- Prior curative intent local therapy (e.g. prostatectomy, radiotherapy, focal ablative therapy) for prostate cancer is not allowed, with following exceptions regarding androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)/anti-androgen therapy (AAT): Prior androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) allowed if \<3 month total duration and stopped \>=3 months prior to registration with demonstration of non-castrate testosterone recovery (\>50ng/dL) and meeting all other inclusion criteria. Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is allowed if \<=60 days total duration AND meeting following criteria: If GnRH agonist used (e.g. leuprolide), bicalutamide must have been used for at least 30 days +/-14 days from start of GnRH agonist. All other inclusion criteria.
- Subjects may not be receiving any other investigational agents for the treatment of the cancer under study.
- History of allergic reactions to PMSA-11 68Ga imaging agent.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the investigator, would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Prior pelvic radiotherapy other than cutaneous/superficial treatments.
Where
- Dallas, Texas
Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
