E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary endpoints:(this analysis is based on the total trial data collected from the 105 patients recruited across sites)
For each patient in cohort 1 (30 patients) and each lesion imaged within the field of view of a dynamic 18F-FDHT PET scan, we will fit a 2-compartment, first-order model and determine k3 values (a measure of androgen receptor density) using a metabolite corrected, venous blood-sample-scaled, population-based input function. Historically, we have seen an average of 18 lesions per patient for mCRPC patients. The general estimating equation approach, based on an ordinal regression model, will be used to determine at the lesion level the relationship between k3 and the concentration of AR within the lesion as determined from subsequently acquired biopsy samples of these same lesions. The general estimating equation approach is used to account for the multiple time points (15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes from 18F-FDHT injection) imaging is obtained. It is noted that the measure of AR concentration is semi-quantitative, and is recorded using the ordinal scores. The ordinal regression model may be represented as ωj = exp(αj + βk3), where ωj is odds the androgen receptor concentration is less than or equal to j, and αj, β are the ordinal regression parameters to be estimated. A test of association for this model is carried out using the score test for β=0, which indicates that a change in the k3 measure has no effect on androgen receptor concentration. A total of 75 patients will be used to explore the reproducibility of the 18F-FDHT SQM measure. This part of the study design will consist of three patient cohorts that are described as cohorts 2-4. The analyses will be undertaken at the patient and lesion level using the SQM measure. The primary analysis is at the patient level and the primary endpoint is the relative difference in the maximum SQM at baseline and post-baseline. For a given patient, if the relative difference is ≤ 0.15, then the measure is stable. The post-baseline time points are day 2 (cohort 2), day 8 (cohort 3), and day 22 (cohort 4). Initially 25 patients will be studied in cohort 2, where 18F-FDHT PET scans will be recorded at baseline and at day two. If unstable scans (a relative difference > 0.15) are recorded in 5 or more patients at any time during accrual, then the study will proceed to cohort 3; otherwise, an additional 50 patients will be studied in cohort 2. The probability of proceeding to cohort 3 is 0.10 when the true stability rate in the population is 0.10. This probability increases to 0.90 when the true stability rate in this cohort population is 0.30. If necessary, this algorithm will be used for the decision to continue accrual in cohort 3 (25 patients in the first stage and if the scans are stable 25 additional patients will be accrued to this cohort) or to proceed to cohort 4. If the study reaches cohort 4, 25 patients will studied in this final group. The concordance correlation coefficient measure of reproducibility will be computed in the cohort with 25 or more patients. To calculate reproducibility, the baseline and post-baseline data pair for each subject are plotted and the concordance correlation coefficient measures the variation of the points around a 45-degree line through the origin. The statistic for the concordance correlation coefficient ranges between zero and one, with the value one representing perfect reproducibility of the 18F-FDHT SQM measures. We will look at reproducibility at the patient and lesion levels. For each 18F-FDHT measure, a 95% confidence interval for the concordance correlation coefficient will be computed. If for a given measure the lower confidence bound exceeds 0.80, it will be concluded that this measure is reproducible. To account for the correlation of the 18F-FDHT measure between lesions within patient, a bootstrap estimate of the standard error of the concordance correlation coefficient estimate will be computed using the subject as the re-sampling unit. This bootstrap approach provides flexibility in estimating the standard error when the number of lesions varies between patients.

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary endpoints: Areas of abnormal 18F-FDHT uptake on PET will be visually correlated on WB-MRI for the presence of abnormal MR signal intensity (on T1 and fat/water sequences), diffusion (on DW-MR images and ADC maps) or perfusion (raw DCE images and parametric maps). Quantitative MRI measurements from diffusion-weighted imaging (ADC) and DCE-MRI (Ktrans, kep, ve) will be calculated and correlated to quantitative and semi-quantitative PET metrics obtained from areas of abnormal 18F-FDHT uptake. Lesions detected on MRI without corresponding 18F-FDHT accumulation on PET will also be recorded. For expansion cohorts 2-4 patients (at least 30 patients) will be treated with abiraterone acetate for 28 days after the second scan. At the conclusion of the treatment a third scan is proposed and an initial examination of the prognostic value of the change in18F-FDHT PET and MRI from the second to the third scan will be undertaken. The two other endpoints will be PSA progression free survival time and radiographic progression free survival time. The Cox proportional hazards model will be employed to study the prognostic value of the change in 18F-FDHT and MRI parameters. A landmark analysis, starting after the completion of the abiraterone acetate treatment, will be performed.
