What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new radioactive tracer called [18F]FluorThanatrace (FTT) used with PET/CT scans to measure PARP-1 activity in men with metastatic prostate cancer. Up to 30 participants will have scans before and after starting a new therapy. The goal is to see if FTT can non-invasively show PARP expression, which might help guide treatment decisions in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
[18F]FluorThanatrace (a radioactive tracer for PET scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a better way to see PARP activity in prostate cancer tumors using a simple scan, helping doctors choose the right treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase imaging study with only 30 participants. The tracer may not reliably show PARP activity in all patients, and it is not a treatment itself.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Patients with a histological diagnosis of prostate cancer with clinical evidence of metastatic disease who are being considered for new therapy or for a change in therapy with a PARP inhibitor, androgen deprivation therapy, and/or chemotherapy as part of their clinical care.

Ages

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants will be ≥ 18 years of age 2. Histologically proven prostate carcinoma 3. Clinical evidence of metastatic disease with at least one lesion identified on standard of care imaging (CT, MRI, Bone Scan, FDG or other PET/CT, Ultrasound) 4. Considered a candidate for new therapy or change in therapy with PARP inhibitor therapy and/or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and/or chemotherapy with or without additional agents, either on a clinical trial or as part of clinical care. 5. Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and be willing to provide written informed consent and participate in this study in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines prior to study-specific procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Inability to tolerate imaging procedures in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician 2. Any current medical condition, illness, or disorder as assessed by medical record review and/or self-reported that is considered by a physician investigator to be a condition that could compromise participant safety or successful participation in the study
