Description

Summary

This is a single site, prospective pilot study to determine the feasibility and safety of the administration of HP 13C bicarbonate in 10 patients with prostate cancer to determine potential hydrogen (pH) values in surrounding tissue. The proposed study will evaluate pre-surgical participants with histologically confirmed localized prostate cancer who receive infusion of hyperpolarized 13C injection prior to MR imaging with endorectal coil.

Official Title

A Pilot Study of Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging With Hyperpolarized Bicarbonate (13C) to Measure Tissue pH in Localized Prostate Cancer

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the feasibility of tumor pH measurement in men with prostate cancer using hyperpolarized 13C bicarbonate imaging.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the safety of administration of hyperpolarized 13C-bicarbonate.

OUTLINE:

Men with biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) within 12 weeks of enrollment will receive infusion with hyperpolarized 13C bicarbonate and undergo metabolic MR imaging with endorectal coil. Participants will be followed for 5-9 days after the hyperpolarized 13C-bicarbonate injection, or removal from study, or until death, whichever occurs first. Participants removed from study for unacceptable study related adverse event(s) will be followed until resolution or stabilization (as determined by the investigator) or until initiation of new anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first.

Open to males ages 18 years and up

  1. Patients age >=18 years.
  2. Patients must have biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate; biopsy may be performed outside of University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) if detailed results of sextant biopsy are available.
  3. Tumor size of at least 1.0 cm in long axis on Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound; if no prior imaging is available, at least 3 cores positive on biopsy.
  4. Patients must have planned radical prostatectomy at UCSF within 12 weeks following protocol MRI/ magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging) (MRSI).
  5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1.
  6. Demonstrates adequate organ function as defined below:
    1. Adequate bone marrow function:
      • Absolute neutrophil count >=1,500 cells/µL.
      • Platelets >=75,000 cells/µL.
      • Hemoglobin >=9.0 gm/dL.
    2. Adequate hepatic function:
      • Total bilirubin <1.5x upper limits of normal (ULN) (within normal institutional limits, unless elevated due to Gilbert's syndrome and direct bilirubin is within normal limits).
      • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) <=1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal.
      • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) <=1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal.
    3. Adequate renal function:
      • Creatinine clearance >= 50 calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation, unless data exists supporting safe use at lower kidney function values, no lower than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
  7. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

You CAN'T join if...

  1. Patients who because of general medical or psychiatric condition, or physiologic status, cannot give valid informed consent.
  2. Patients unwilling or unable to undergo MR imaging, including patients with contraindications to Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as per UCSF radiology departmental guidelines.
  3. Patients who cannot tolerate or have contra-indications to endorectal coil insertion, for example, patients with a prior abdominoperineal resection of the rectum or latex allergy.
  4. Patients with contra-indications to injection of gadolinium contrast as per UCSF radiology departmental guidelines.
  5. Patients who take carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (e.g. acetazolamide, dichlorphenamide, methazolamide).
  6. Metallic hip implant or any other metallic implant or device that distorts local magnetic field and compromises the quality of MR imaging.
  7. Cryosurgery, surgery for prostate cancer, prostatic or pelvic radiotherapy prior to study enrollment. No limit on number of prior prostate biopsies. Prior Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is not allowed.
  8. Poorly controlled hypertension, with blood pressure at study entry >160/100. The addition of anti-hypertensives to control blood pressure is allowed for eligibility determination.
  9. Congestive heart failure or New York Heart Association (NYHA) status >= 2. A history of clinically significant electrocardiogram (EKG) abnormalities, including QT prolongation, a family history of prolonged QT interval syndrome, or myocardial infarction (MI) within 6 months of study entry. Patients with rate-controlled atrial fibrillation/flutter will be allowed on study.
