Advanced Prostate Carcinoma | Diagnostic Test: Post-treatment CT-guided bone marrow biopsy |
Study Type : | Observational |
Estimated Enrollment : | 50 participants |
Observational Model: | Other |
Time Perspective: | Prospective |
Official Title: | Improving Diagnosis and Treatment of Metastatic Advanced Prostate Cancer Through Better Imaging With Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Diffusion Weighted Imaging |
Estimated Study Start Date : | July 30, 2021 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | May 31, 2024 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | May 31, 2024 |

- Diagnostic Test: Post-treatment CT-guided bone marrow biopsy
At post-treatment, 12 +/- 3 weeks after initiating treatment, patients will undergo a CT guided bone marrow biopsy of the same lesion as baseline.
- Retrospective analysis: WBMRI parameters [ Time Frame: Month 1-26 ]Prognostic association of derived pre-treatment WBMRI parameters, total disease volume (tDV) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for prediction of overall survival.
- Retrospective analysis: Diagnostic performance of MET-RADS-P [ Time Frame: Month 1-26 ]Accuracy of MET-RADS-P to assess response to systemic treatment.
- Single centre prospective observational imaging study [ Time Frame: Month 6-38 ]
Pairwise correlations of percentage of ADC change with:
- Tumour regression grading according to the international system of Salzer-Kuntschnik
- Changes in biopsy tumour content and tumour/necrosis ratio
- Fat fraction percentage with bone marrow adipose tissue/fibrosis reported by histopathology analysis.
- Retrospective analysis: WBMRI parameters [ Time Frame: Month 1-26 ]Prognostic association of baseline tDV and ADC for prediction of radiographic Progression Free Survival (rPFS) using Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria (PCWG3) and Skeletal Related Events (SREs).
- Retrospective analysis: Diagnostic performance of MET-RADS-P [ Time Frame: Month 1-26 ]Inter-observer agreement - determine prognostic association of MET-RADS-P response for prediction of overall survival.
- Single centre prospective observational imaging study [ Time Frame: Month 6-38 ]Fraction of bone biopsies with sufficient tumour yield for genomic sequencing.
