Study summary

The purpose is to evaluate if sodium fluoride PET in patients having already undergone a choline PET negative for bone extension (non-metastatic status) modifies the status of patients concerning the existence or not of bone metastases.

Secondary purposes are:

  • To evaluate if detection of bone metastasis by sodium fluoride PET, not detected by choline PET, leads to change of treatment
  • To evaluate inter-technique concordance (choline vs sodium fluoride PET) of results (metastatic status and number of lesions)
  • To evaluate the inter-judge concordance of interpretation of sodium fluoride PET
  • To study the discordance of metastatic status of 2 techniques.

    Sodium fluoride PET

    Before inclusion, patients undergo choline PET to assess an occult recurrence of prostate cancer. After inclusion, they undergo sodium fluoride PET.

    Procedure: Sodium fluoride PET

Interventions

  • ProcedureSodium fluoride PET

    Sodium fluoride Pet is realized maximum after 4 weeks from choline PET (inclusion). Injection of 4MBq 18F-FNa/kg of body weight is followed after 60 min (± 5 min) by acquisition of images on Biograph 6 PET/CT scanner (SIEMENS). Data from sodium fluoride PET are interpreted independently and blind from other data by 3 medical doctors (2 at hospital of Nancy and 1 at hospital of Strasbourg) (for inter-judge reproducibility); a second interpretation of data is consensually realized by 2 of 3 readers, limited to discordant analyses (metastatic status or not, and/or number of lesions); results from this second interpretation are final results.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of patients with choline PET negative and sodium fluoride PET positive for bone extension (metastasis)

    Time frame: Execution of sodium fluoride PET (up to 4 weeks from choline PET; from baseline up to 4 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Inter-strategy concordance of diagnosis evaluated by kappa coefficient

    Concordance between results of choline PET and sodium fluoride PET

    Time frame: Execution of sodium fluoride PET (up to 4 weeks from choline PET; from baseline up to 4 weeks)

  2. Metastatic status and number of lesions detected respectively by sodium fluoride PET and choline PET

    Time frame: Execution of sodium fluoride PET (up to 4 weeks from choline PET; from baseline up to 4 weeks)

  3. Metastatic status and number of lesions identified by 3 medical doctors of 2 different centres in sodium fluoride PET

    Time frame: Execution of sodium fluoride PET (from baseline up to 4 weeks)
