Trial Outcomes & Findings for FACBC Prostate Therapy Response (NCT NCT02830880)

NCT ID: NCT02830880

Last Updated: 2020-01-07

Results Overview

Clinical response will be assessed with FACBC PET imaging. The same measurements of the lesions and background structures will be undertaken at baseline and post-therapy scan. The researchers utilized the following parameters to follow response to therapy: maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of most intense lesion each of bone and node, sum and mean SUVmax of up to 5 index lesions for each of bone and node of most intense lesion each of bone and node of the 5 index lesions for each of bone and node. SUVmax measures uptake of the radiotracer by malignant cells. Percent change after therapy, compared to baseline, was calculated and a positive percent increase indicates greater uptake of FACBC by cancer cells.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Cycle 1 (Week 2), Cycle 6 (Week 17)

Population: This analysis includes participants completing the study visits used in each change from baseline determination.

Clinical response will be assessed with FACBC PET imaging. The same measurements of the lesions and background structures will be undertaken at baseline and post-therapy scan. The researchers utilized the following parameters to follow response to therapy: maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of most intense lesion each of bone and node, sum and mean SUVmax of up to 5 index lesions for each of bone and node of most intense lesion each of bone and node of the 5 index lesions for each of bone and node. SUVmax measures uptake of the radiotracer by malignant cells. Percent change after therapy, compared to baseline, was calculated and a positive percent increase indicates greater uptake of FACBC by cancer cells.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Cycle 1 (Week 2), Cycle 6 (Week 17)

Population: This analysis includes participants completing the study visits.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) serum biomarker will be used to assess response to treatment. PSA level will be collected via blood draw. While a formal cutpoint signifying prostate cancer is not generally used as PSA levels vary between men, in general, higher PSA levels indicate prostate cancer.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Cycle 1 (Week 2), Cycle 6 (Week 17)

Population: Data were not collected for this outcome measure as all participants had a CT scan rather than an MRI to assess response to treatment.

Participants will have an MRI or a CT scan to assess response to treatment. Treatment response will be reported as follows: * Complete Response (CR) Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. * Complete Response Unknown (CRU) * Partial Response (PR) At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. * Stable Disease (NR/SD) Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. * Progressive Disease (PD) At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this may include the baseline sum). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, After Cycle 6 (Week 17)

Population: This analysis includes participants who completed the study.

Each patient underwent 99mTc MDP whole body bone scanning at baseline, and after the 6th cycle. Bone scans findings were interpreted based on recommendations from Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial Working Group 3 (PCCTWG3) using a specialized Bone Scan Assessment Tool. The change in disease response after cycle 6 compared to the baseline assessment is presented here.
