About this study

Official title: Comparison of 68 Ga-PSMA Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/CT to Conventional Imaging in Men With High Risk Prostate Cancer

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label pilot study of 68GA-PSMA-11 given at a single time prior to PET/CT imaging in men with localized high risk prostate cancer or biochemical recurrence. The imaging agent (68 Ga-PSMA 11 will be administered on an outpatient basis. It will be administered prior to the PET/CT imaging. The objective is to evaluate the distribution of 68GA-PSMA-11 in tissues and to determine if this alters the planned clinical management.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, open label, single-center, single-arm, pilot diagnostic accuracy study to evaluate the tissue distribution of 68Ga-PSMA Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/CT in 80 patients with high risk localized prostate cancer or biochemical recurrence.

Subjects will receive a single IV dose of 3-7 mCi of 68Ga-PSMA (study drug) followed by PET/CT imaging 60-90 minutes after injection. All patients will be closely monitored with vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate), before and 2 hours following radiotracer administration.

Patients will receive a phone call 2 days following PET/CT to assess for adverse events.

To minimize bias, all PET/CT images will be interpreted by a board-certified radiologist. The radiologist evaluating the images will be blinded to the final outcome, such as the histopathology of any biopsies and the outcome of subsequent imaging.

Patients with study-defined high-risk features who are eligible and scheduled for radical prostatectomy will undergo 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT injection. The results of the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT may alter patient management in one of several ways, including the decision to not pursue surgical extirpation (e.g. in the event of extensive distant metastasis) in favor of systemic therapy. It is also possible that the extent of surgical resection may be altered, such as non-regional pelvic or retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. The alteration in planned surgical treatment from standard of care will be recorded as a secondary-end point.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 68Ga-PSMADrug

    Also called 68 Ga-PSMA 11

    All subjects enrolled in the study will receive a single IV dose of 3-7 mCi of 68 Ga-PSMA (study drug) followed by PET/CT imaging for detection of tumor location.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of Patients With Lymph Node Involvement

    Number of patients with cTxNoMo (clinically localized disease) found on final histological examination to have lymph node involvement as determined by 68GA-PSMA-11 PET/CT.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Proportion of Patients Which Clinical Management Was Altered

    Number of patients in which 68GA-PSMA-11 PET/CT altered the planned clinical management.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Intensity of Uptake as a Predictor of Clinical Outcome or Aggressiveness

    Uptake intensity detected on PET/CT in the prostate and outside of the prostate

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Number of Patients With Suspicious Lesions

    Number of patients in which 68Ga-PSMA 11 PET/CT showed suspicious lesions that are were not seen in standard diagnostic modalities of bone scan, CTs or MRI.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 68Ga-PSMA in people with Prostate Cancer and High Risk, run by The Methodist Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 13 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 Aug 2023. 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 United States. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Dec 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Proportion of Patients With Lymph Node Involvement (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Aug 2023.
