Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability.
7 days

Assessment of the occurrence of clinically significant changes in safety variables from baseline. Safety endpoints include monitoring for the occurrence of treatment-emergent AEs. Monitoring will occur to evaluate for dose-limiting toxicity. Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) is defined as any toxicity greater than or equal to grade 2, 3 or 4, attributable to the imaging agent and occurring within 7 days after administration. The maximum tolerated dose will be the dose level at which \<33% DLT occurs.

Secondary Endpoints

to determine the time course and imaging window that provides the best signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the presence of hyperpolarized pyruvate (13C).
To determine the kinetics and prostate metabolism of hyperpolarized pyruvate (13C)

Frequently asked questions about Hyperpolarized Pyruvate

What is Hyperpolarized Pyruvate used for in prostate cancer?

Hyperpolarized Pyruvate is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in prostate cancer. It is a diagnostic imaging agent designed to visualize metabolic activity in prostate tumors. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What does Hyperpolarized Pyruvate target?

Hyperpolarized Pyruvate is a small molecule that is hyperpolarized to enhance its signal in magnetic resonance imaging. It is used to detect metabolic changes in prostate cancer cells, specifically the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, which is elevated in tumors. This allows for non-invasive visualization of tumor metabolism.

Who makes Hyperpolarized Pyruvate?

Hyperpolarized Pyruvate is being developed by GE HealthCare Technologies Inc., a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GEHC. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in prostate cancer patients.

What phase is Hyperpolarized Pyruvate in?

Hyperpolarized Pyruvate is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. The Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug is still in the early stages of clinical evaluation for prostate cancer.

What clinical trials is Hyperpolarized Pyruvate in?

Hyperpolarized Pyruvate has one completed clinical trial, NCT01229618, titled 'Hyperpolarized Pyruvate Injection in Subjects With Prostate Cancer.' This Phase 1 study enrolled 31 male participants aged 18 years and older in the United States. The trial was controlled but not randomized or double-blinded, and it used a biomarker-selected approach.

Is Hyperpolarized Pyruvate the same as pyruvate?

Hyperpolarized Pyruvate is a specialized formulation of pyruvate, a naturally occurring molecule involved in cellular metabolism. The 'hyperpolarized' designation refers to a technique that enhances its signal in magnetic resonance imaging, allowing for real-time visualization of metabolic processes. It is not the same as standard pyruvate supplements.
