Read the detailed description

It is a single-arm clinical trial. The primary endpoint is diagnostic positivity rate of Ga68-PSMA-11 in metastasis lesion. Sample size calculation is performed using two-sided one-proportion test to achieving an 82% power at the 5% level of significance. The primary measurement of positivity can be obtained for the one-proportion test with statistical hypotheses H0: P = P0 versus H1: P≠P0. We assume the alternative positivity rate is 65.9% and the null positivity rate is 43.9% which is the reference value from Maurer T et al (J Urol. 2016;195:1436-1443). Thus, the sample size needed is 43. According to the estimated missing rate 15%, the sample size in this study is 51. The sample size calculation was performed using PASS software (Power Analysis and Sample Size version 11.0.8, NCSS, Kaysville, Utah, USA). All subjects enrolled must meet eligibility criteria based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria detailed in Section 5.4 and 5.5.

For PET/CT PSMA scan, the subject will have catheter(s) placed for intravenous administration of [68Ga]PSMA-11. Subjects will receive a single intravenous bolus of 2-5 mCi [68Ga]PSMA-11 and received PET/CT scan 60 minutes later. The data acquisition begin with non-contrast CT at 120kVp, automated mAs, and a pitch of 1.5, followed by PET acquisition from the mid-thigh to skull-base, 3 minutes each bed. After image acquisition, the subject will be observed for half an hour, and will be discharged if no adverse event happens. EKG, blood and biochemistry test will be performed before and after scan no more than two weeks. Patient will underwent two times of PSMA-11 PET/CT scans before and under androgen deprivation therapy within a 10-14 weeks interval. In the follow up period, if metastatic castration-resistance status happens, patient may underwent optional PSMA-11 PET/CT scan by attending's discrimination in order to give appropriate treatment suggestions.

Time elapsed from the last PSA determination until PET scan was no more than 6 weeks in all patients. Patients will receive complementary workups. All of the images were interpreted by a team of two nuclear medicine physicians and one radiologist. In cases of questionable findings, the decision was made by consensus of at least two observers using pre-specified criteria. For patients with discrepancy image findings between each modality, biopsy results may be taken into consideration to determine the final status.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ga-68 PSMA ligand in people with Metastatic Prostate Cancer, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of lesion detection number by PET imaging (time frame: 10-14 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jul 2021.
