Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To assess reproducibility of quantitative spectroscopic and imaging parameters in hyperpolarized 13-C pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), including 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.
II. To test the reproducibility of the normalized area under the lactate curve (nLac), a semi-quantitative biomarker for tumor metabolism.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
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.
II. To assess the correlation between kpl and tumor grade.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 arms.
ARM Ia: Patients receive hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate intravenously (IV) and undergo MRSI at least 5 weeks after prostate cancer biopsy.
ARM Ib: Patients receive hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate IV and undergo MRSI at least 5 weeks after prostate cancer biopsy and at a second time 3-4 weeks after.
ARM II: Patients receive hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate IV and undergo MRSI at least 5 weeks after prostate cancer biopsy, followed by standard of care surgery within 6 months after.
After the completion of study, patients in Arm Ia and Arm Ib are followed up once.
