Title

A Confirmatory, Prospective, Open-label, Single-arm, Reader-blinded Multi-centre Phase 3 Study to Assess the Diagnostic Accuracy of Ferumoxtran-10-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Unenhanced MRI in Reference to Histopathology in Newly-diagnosed Prostate Cancer (PCA) Patients, Scheduled for Radical Prostatectomy (RP) With Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (ePLND).

Brief Summary in Lay Language

The aim of this study is to assess if Ferumoxtran-10 is suitable contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify small lymph nodes metastasis in the pelvic region. This study is conducted to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and safety of Ferumoxtran-10. The study is intended for patients suffering from prostate cancer with an intermediate to high risk for metastasis and which are scheduled for a prostatcetomy with extended lymph node removal.
Ferumoxtran-10 consists of ultra small iron-particles and is sensitive and specific for the detection of lymph node metastases. A solution of Ferumoxtran-10 is administered via injection into the vein and will be taken up in healthy tissue but not in cancer tissue.
In the imaging process the Ferumoxtran-10 particles which are distributed to the whole body can be made visible. Healthy tissue appears darkened because the Ferumoxtran-10 was takes up whereas the cancer tissue stayes lighter.
This method allows the detection of very small lymph nodes (2 mm) in comparison to normally used scans which can identify metastases from a size of 7-8 mm.

Brief Summary in Scientific Language

This will be a confirmatory, prospective, open-label, single-arm, reader-blinded, multi-centre phase 3 study to assess the diagnostic accuracy and safety of Ferrotran®-enhanced MRI in comparison to unenhanced MRI in the detection of pelvic lymph node metastases in newly-diagnosed patients with prostate cancer and an intermediate to high risk for lymph node metastases, based on the D'Amico criteria.

Interventions/Observational Groups

  •   After signing the consent form, inclusion and exclusion criteria are checked and screening examinations (e.g. blood pressure, pulse, 12-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) and normal MRI) are performed.
    On the day of treatment (day 0), a physical examination, vital signs an weight again assessed before administration of Ferumoxtran-10 (0.13 mL/kg). The contrast medium is administered via slow infusion over a period of 30 minutes. During this time and and for the following 30 min (60 minutes in total), the patient is closely monitored by the study staff to detect any possible allergic or infusion-related reactions. Another physical examination as well as vital signs and laboratory paramateres will be performed four hours after the end of the infusion.
    The next day (day 1) the Ferumoxtran-10 enhanced MRI scan is performed.
    Seven days after the Ferumoxtran-10 infusion, another physical examination and assessment of vital signs are performed as well as blood and urine samples are taken.
    Days 7 to 42: During this period, the planned prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) with extended removal of the lymph nodes in the pelvic area is performed. Prior to this surgery (on the same day or one day before) the same examinations are performed as on day 7.
    About 8 weeks after the surgery, blood and urine samples are assessed again and a normal MRT is also performed.

Primary Outcome

Lymph node metastases will be detected by MRI scan (Ferumoxtran-10-enhanced and unenhanced).
True positive fraction and false positive fraction of identified tumour tissue in pelvic lymph nodes will be analysed by histopathology as established reference method. Based on these parameters the sensitivity and specificity will be evaluated.

end of 1:1-Block primary endpoint
start of 1:1-Block secondary endpoint

Secondary Outcome

- Number and regions of lymph node metastases present in the follow-up MRI in comparison to pre-surgery MRI (unenhanced and Ferrotran®-enhanced)
- Frequency of occurrence and severity of abnormal findings in safety investigations (physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory, concomitant medication, adverse events)
- Percentage of subjects for whom the patient management plan would be changed based on the Ferrotran®-enhanced MRI
