IGPC-5 Trial Summary
This trial will help determine which imaging methods are most effective in predicting the location and aggressiveness of prostate cancer.
Who is the study for?
Men aged 18+ with confirmed prostate cancer who are planning to have their prostates surgically removed. They must be able to undergo multiple pre-surgery imaging tests and not have severe kidney disease, metal in the eye area, recent use of certain medications for urinary issues, or any condition that makes MRI unsafe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of advanced imaging techniques (Multiparametric MRI, Sodium MRI, and PET scans using [18F]PSMA-1007) before prostate removal surgery. The goal is to see how well these images predict the exact location and severity of the cancer compared to actual surgical findings.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to contrast agents used during imaging procedures. There's also a risk of discomfort or complications from lying still during long scans and exposure to radiation from PET scans.

Group I: Multi-modality prostate cancer imagingExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
The study requires eligible patients to complete one imaging session at St. Joseph's Health Care to begin within 6 weeks of the scheduled Radical Prostatectomy. Imaging will consist of simultaneous multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), sodium MRI and positron emission tomography (PET) with a radio-labeled probe for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).
