Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial
Impact of Monosodium Glutamate on 68GA-PSMA-11, PET Imaging Biodistribution in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Summary
This phase I trial studies the impact of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on 68GA-PSMA-11 PET/CT in decreasing the salivary glands uptake in patients with prostate cancer. Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a molecule that is overexpressed by the prostate cancer cells. 68GA-PSMA-11 is an imaging radioactive drug that can target this molecule in tissues for imaging and therapy of prostate cancer. Food substances, such as monosodium glutamate, may reduce salivary gland uptake of 68GA-PSMA-11. Ultimately, giving MSG may reduce potential harm and injury to the salivary glands in patients with prostate cancer treated with PSMA-targeted molecular radiotherapy.
Full Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) administration (glutamate supplementation) on the salivary gland uptake of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 (68Ga-PSMA-11).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the effect of MSG administration on renal 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake. II. To determine the effect of MSG administration on tumor 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake. III. To determine if 68GA-PSMA-11 is excreted in the saliva. IV. Safety of MSG administration both oral ingestion and oral-salivary stimulation.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
Arm I: Patients receive gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 intravenously (IV) and undergo a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan on day 1. Within 2 weeks (days 2-14), patients receive MSG orally (PO) over 10 minutes and receive a second dose of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 IV, followed by a second PET/CT scan. Patients also undergo collection of saliva at 0, 30, and 60 minutes after gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 injection and 90 minutes after PET/CT.
Arm II: Patients receive gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 IV and undergo a PET/CT scan on day 1. Within 2 weeks (days 2-14), patients receive a second dose of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 IV immediately followed by MSG applied in the mouth over 30 seconds every 10 minutes for a total of 6 times, and then undergo a second PET/CT scan. Patients also undergo collection of saliva at 0, 30, and 60 minutes after gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 injection and 90 minutes after PET/CT.
