This may be due to several reasons, including presence of sub-clinical metastases at time of local therapy.\n\nCurrently, patients with high risk prostate cancer are staged by MRI of the prostate (to assess local extent of disease), CT of the abdomen(to detect spread to lymph nodes) and bone scan (to assess for spread to bones). However, these standard imaging exams do not always identify all sites of disease. Recent research has suggested that performing positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with a tracer called fluorocholine (FCH) improves identification of lymph node and bone metastases in prostate cancer, resulting in more accurate diagnosis.\n\nThe main goal of this study is to find out whether staging high risk prostate cancer patients with FCH PET-CT and MRI of the whole body will improve detection of primary tumors and metastases compared to current standard imaging exams. Improved staging of patients with prostate cancer may impact patient care as it will help to select more appropriate therapy.\n\nIn this study, participants will undergo either combined PET/MRI or PET-CT and MRI after standard evaluations. The accuracy of each staging approach (standard vs. PET and MRI) will be evaluated. In addition, we will incorporate novel methods for data interpretation by creating imaging maps combining data from PET and MRI (termed "Multiparametric maps"). The goal of this novel approach is to find out whether mapping 2 or more characteristics of a tumor at the same time will improve tumor detection and accuracy of diagnosis.\n\nAbout 40 men from the Princess Margaret Hospital will take part in this study. The study should take about 2 years to complete enrollment and the results should be known within 36 months of completion of enrollment.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '99 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age ≥ 18 years\n* Histologic diagnosis of carcinoma of prostate\n* High risk disease: defined as Gleason ≥8, or T3 disease, or PSA \\>20ng/mL\n* No prior therapy for prostate cancer (surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy).\n* Ability to provide written informed consent to participate in the study\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Prior surgery or radiation therapy for prostate cancer\n* Prior or ongoing hormone or other systemic therapy for prostate cancer\n* Inability to lie supine for 90 minutes\n* Any contraindication to MR as per Joint Department of Medical Imaging policies.\n* Impaired kidney function with glomerular filtration rate \\< 30ml/min\n* Previous anaphylactic reaction to gadolinium or other contraindications to MR.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01993160', 'briefTitle': '18F-FCH (Fluorocholine)-PET/MR in Staging of High-Risk Prostate Cancer', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Health Network, Toronto'}, 'officialTitle': '18F-FCH-PET/MR in Staging of High-Risk Prostate Cancer: A Multiparametric Approach', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '18F-FCH-PET/MR'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '18F-FCH PET MR', 'description': 'Integrated whole body PET-MR or PET-CT and separate whole body MRI with use of 18F-FCH as the molecular probe', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Fluorocholine (18F-FCH) Injection', 'Radiation: PET scan', 'Radiation: Whole body MRI']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Fluorocholine (18F-FCH) Injection', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Before the PET-CT scan, the tracer (fluorocholine/FCH) will be injected into a vein in your arm just before the scan.
