About

This phase II trial studies how well hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging works in predicting treatment response in patients with prostate cancer. Hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging may help to accurately predict how prostate cancer patients will respond to standard therapy (abiraterone and apalutamide).

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess reproducibility of quantitative spectroscopic and imaging parameters in hyperpolarized 13-C pyruvate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), including key performance indicator (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.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

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.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate intravenously (IV) over 10-20 seconds and undergo MRSI over 2-3 minutes at 6 and 8 weeks.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 1 day and then for up to 3 years.

Inclusion criteria

  • Biopsy proven high risk prostate adenocarcinoma, or de novo metastatic previously untreated naive prostate cancer (patients who have initiated gonadotrophin releasing hormone [Lhrh] analog or antagonist within the past 4 weeks are eligible)
  • Gleason >= 8 OR Gleason 7 + >= cT2b + prostate specific antigen (PSA) > 10 ng/ml
  • Prior prostate biopsy must have been performed at least 4 weeks prior

Exclusion criteria

  • Contraindication to MRI
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30
  • Allergy to gadavist intravenous contrast
  • History of cardiac arrhythmia
  • Since they do not get prostate cancer, women are excluded; thus, pregnancy is not an issue
