Study Summary

This study will evaluate the use of hyperpolarized 13C MRI (HP 13C MRI) and the HP-derived 13C pyruvate-to-lactate conversion rate constant (kPL) as an early response biomarker in men with treatment-naïve, high-risk, localized or locally advanced prostate cancer receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

Primary Outcome

Mean changes in intratumoral kPL from baseline to 4 weeks will be reported. For participants with \>1 intraprostatic lesions detected on baseline scan, change in kPL will be calculated on using the lesion with the highest initial kPL.

Interventions
