Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the presence and numbers of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cancer related gene expression levels in subjects with localized high-risk prostate cancer (HRLPC) and from subjects with non-metastatic disease experiencing biochemical recurrence and castration-resistance (BCRLPC and NMCRPC groups, respectively) who are about to undergo next generation imaging (NGI, such as Axumin® or PSMA PETCT). The investigators will also evaluate subjects with localized indolent prostate cancer who are on active surveillance (AS) as a control population. The CTC and gene expression results will be evaluated for association with disease state and progression and survival.

Detailed Description

Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and provide written informed consent will be enrolled into the study. The four (4) groups of patients to be enrolled into the study will consist of: 1) men with low risk localized prostate cancer (LPC) on active surveillance (AS control group), 2) treatment naïve men with high risk LPC (HRLPC) who are 2 - 5 months out after having a radical prostatectomy, 3) treatment naïve men with biochemically recurrent LPC (BCRLPC) who are about to or have recently undergone next generation imaging [NGI] (i.e. Axumin® or PSMA PETCT), and men with non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (NMCRPC) who are about to or have recently undergone NGI (i.e. Axumin® or PSMA PETCT). The goal is to enroll a total of 25 evaluable patients into each study group (HRLPC, BCRLPC, NMCRPC and AS) and collect up to ~29mL of blood from each patient as a single timepoint for evaluation. HRLPC patients will have blood draw 2 - 5 months following their radical prostatectomy procedure, BCRLPC and NMCRPC patients will have their blood drawn within 45 days prior to or after their scheduled NGI study and prior to initiation of a new treatment for their disease, and AS patients will have their blood drawn either after having a stable PSA for greater than 5 years or greater than 2 years after having a biopsy confirming low risk disease. All patients will be followed for up to 2 years after enrollment for disease progression and survival status.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Active Surveillance (AS) Controls Patients with low or very low risk prostate cancer who have been on active surveillance for 5 or more years with a stable PSA or on active surveillance for 2 or more years with negative multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) or mpMRI with a fusion biopsy(ies) confirming low risk disease.	Other: Blood collection Peripheral blood will be collected from each subject at a single time point and data will be collected from a review of each subject's medical records. Other Names: Data collection
High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer (HRLPC) Men with high-risk localized prostate cancer, defined as stage pT3a or Gleason score greater than or equal to 8 and/or pre-prostatectomy PSA of greater than or equal to 20 ng/mL.	Other: Blood collection Peripheral blood will be collected from each subject at a single time point and data will be collected from a review of each subject's medical records. Other Names: Data collection
Biochemically Recurrent Localized Prostate Cancer (BCRLPC) Systemic and/or hormonal treatment naive men with localized prostate cancer (pathological stages pT2, pT3a or pT4 with TNM N0 or N1 and M0 disease) who have clinical suspicion of biochemical recurrence 2 - 5 months following radical prostatectomy and are scheduled to undergo NGI (i.e., Axumin® or PSMA PETCT) within the next 45 days or have already undergone NGI within the past 45 days.	Other: Blood collection Peripheral blood will be collected from each subject at a single time point and data will be collected from a review of each subject's medical records. Other Names: Data collection
Non-Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (NMCRPC) Patients with evidence of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (i.e. localized prostate cancer patients with clinical symptoms of disease progression and/or evidence of a rising PSA following hormone therapy) who are scheduled to undergo NGI (i.e., Axumin® or PSMA PETCT) within the next 45 days or have already undergone NGI within the past 45 days and who have not started a new therapy for treatment of their castration-resistant prostate cancer.	Other: Blood collection Peripheral blood will be collected from each subject at a single time point and data will be collected from a review of each subject's medical records. Other Names: Data collection

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

CTC number and phenotype [Baseline]
The population of cells captured from the peripheral blood samples by the Parsortix system will be evaluated using cytological and/or immunofluorescent staining methods to determine the numbers and phenotypes of any rare cells present (e.g., epithelial and/or mesenchymal CTCs, megakaryocytes, etc. alone and/or in clusters). The numbers and phenotypes of any rare cells present will be evaluated for association with the patient disease state (e.g., study group), the presence of metastatic disease as determined by NGI, and disease progression and/or survival (for up to two years following enrollment).
CTC genotype [Baseline]
DNA and/or RNA will be isolated from the population of cells captured from the peripheral blood samples by the Parsortix system and will be evaluated using molecular methods (e.g. multiplex gene expression, mutational analysis, sequencing, etc.) to determine the genotype(s) of the harvested cells. The genotype(s) of any rare cells present will be evaluated for association with the patient disease state (e.g., study group), the presence of metastatic disease as determined by NGI, and disease progression and/or survival (for up to two years following enrollment).
