Repeatability Assessment of Quantitative DCE-MRI and DWI: A Multicenter Study of Functional Imaging Standardization in the Prostate
Description
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance
imaging or DCE-MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging or DWI, may provide images of prostate
cancer or any cancer that remains after biopsy.
PURPOSE: This trial studies repeated DCE-MRI and DWI in patients diagnosed with prostate
cancer.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the test-retest performance, assessed by the repeatability coefficient [RC] of
K^trans and gadolinium curve (IAUGC90^bn) and measured by median pixel values of the
whole prostate.
- Determine the test-retest performance, assessed by the RC of diffusion-weighted imaging
(DWI) metrics D(t) and measured by median pixel values of the whole prostate.
Secondary
- Determine the test-retest performance, assessed by RC of K^trans, IAUGC90^bn, and D(t),
and measured by median pixel values of the dominant prostate tumor.
- Determine the effect of reader on the RC of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance
imaging (DCE-MRI) and DWI metrics for whole prostate and tumor nodule target lesion.
- Determine whether T1-dependent or T1-independent methods for gadolinium quantification
in DCE-MRI studies produce differing values for the RC for K^trans and IAUGC90^bn.
- Explore the correlation between DCE-MRI and DWI metrics for both whole prostate and
dominant tumor nodule as target lesions. (Exploratory)
- Determine whether the "coffee break" approach toward test-retest analysis of
quantitative DWI provides a reasonable estimate of the RC of D(t)of the whole prostate,
using as the gold standard the RC of D(t) obtained between the two separate MRI visits.
(Exploratory)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to MRI vendor used
(Siemens vs GE vs Philips).
Patients receive gadolinium-based contrast IV and undergo DCE-MRI* and DWI 2 imaging at 2-14
days apart prior to treatment initiation. A central reader evaluation of the 2 successive
scans is then conducted.
NOTE: *At the discretion of the participating sites, the initial MRI visit (MRI SCAN 1) may
be supplemented with endorectal-coil imaging per institutional norms.
Phase
N/AInclusion and Exclusion Criteria
- Diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy between 28 to 90 days prior to enrollment
- Minimal tumor burden as defined by at least one of the following criteria:
- One single core with ≥ 50% cancer burden and ≥ 5 mm tumor length
- Two or more cores in the same prostate region, each with ≥ 30% cancer burden
- Three or more cores positive for prostate cancer (of any magnitude of cancer burden) in the same prostate region
- Gleason score of 7 or higher cancer burden
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥ 10 ng/mL PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Able to tolerate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) required by protocol, to be performed at an American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN)-qualified facility and scanner
- Not suitable to undergo MRI or gadolinium-based contrast agent because of:
- Severe claustrophobia not relieved by oral anxiolytics per institutional standard practice
- Presence of MRI-incompatible metallic objects or implanted medical devices in body (including, but not limited to, non-MRI compatible metal objects, cardiac pacemaker, aneurysm clips, artificial heart valves with steel parts, or metal fragments in the eye or central nervous system)
- Renal failure, as determined by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 30 mL/min based on a serum creatinine level obtained within 48 hours prior to enrollment
- Weight greater than that allowable by the MRI table, per local institutional practice PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- No anti-androgenic therapy within 30 days prior to enrollment
- No prior external-beam radiotherapy, proton radiotherapy, or brachytherapy to the prostate
- No prior hip replacement or other major pelvic surgery
