Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to provide clinical evidence to determine if Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WBMRI) with a novel technique called diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can improve current treatment for APC patients, allowing for early identification of disease progression or treatment response, hence facilitating clinical decision-making and leading to improvement in patient care. The IDT study includes two retrospective analyses and a single centre prospective observational study for APC patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Metastatic Advanced Prostate Cancer occurs when cancer spreads from the prostate to other parts of the body (bones, lymph nodes or other organs), with bones being the commonest site of spread in prostate cancer. These cancer growths are called metastases. APC metastases are diverse (heterogeneous) in their growth pattern, such that not all metastases will respond to the same treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Retrospective study A Baseline WBMRI scans in metastatic APC patients acquired up to 8 weeks prior to the initiation of a new line of therapy.
