About this trial

This phase II trial studies the side how well hyperpolarized carbon C 13 pyruvate (HP C-13 pyruvate) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in monitoring patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance who have not received treatment. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help visualize HP C-13 pyruvate uptake and breakdown in tumor cells.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

The subject has biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate with low to intermediate risk disease by UCSF-CAPRA scoring at study entry.

For Part 1: Patient planning to enroll or currently on active surveillance; For Part 2: Currently enrolled on active surveillance with planned fusion biopsy within 12 weeks following completion of baseline HP C-13 pyruvate/mpMRI on study.

The subject is able and willing to comply with study procedures and provide signed and dated informed consent.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

Disqualifiers

Patients without evidence of any prostate cancer on most recent prostate biopsy performed prior to study entry.

Current or prior androgen deprivation therapy including luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue or oral anti-androgen therapy. Previous use of a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor is allowed, provided it was discontinued at least 28 days prior to baseline C-13 HP pyruvate MRI

Prior radiation treatment of the prostate.

Prostate biopsy performed within 14 days prior to baseline C-13 HP pyruvate MRI.
