About this study

Official title: 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients With Prostate Cancer

This trial studies how well 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scan works in imaging patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET may find and diagnose prostate cancer and improve monitoring of treatment response.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE:

Patients receive gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 intravenously (IV) over 60-75 minutes then undergo PET/CT or PET/magnetic resonance (MR) scan over 2-4 minutes per bed position at baseline. Patients receiving systemic therapy undergo an additional 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT or PET/MR scan 12 weeks after initiating therapy. Patients may also undergo CT and bone scan during screening and on study.

After the completion of study, patients are followed up at 60 days, 6 months, and annually up to 5 years or until time of first progression.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in planned management strategy

    Assessed using conventional imaging with executed management strategy incorporating information from first (scan 1) 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), regardless of treatment modality. Will be expressed as the percentage of total patients imaged in which change in management occurred, regardless of treatment modality. The rate of change in management will also be estimated within each group (initial staging, biochemical recurrence, and equivocal lesion cohorts). 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be used to express precision of the estimates.

    Measured: Baseline up to 1.5 years after the last scan

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Major change in management

    Defined as a change in treatment modality (e.g. change from systemic therapy to radiation therapy). Will compare by planned management strategy using conventional imaging and executed management strategy incorporating information from scan 1 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, regardless of treatment modality. 95% CIs will be used to express precision of the estimates. This analysis applies to the subjects enrolled in the initial staging (N=30), biochemical recurrence (N=30), and equivocal lesions cohorts (N=43).

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years post-scan

  2. Minor change in management

    Defined as changes within a treatment modality (e.g. change in planned radiation field or change in systemic therapy regimen to be used for a patient already planned to receive systemic therapy). Defined as a post-scan change within a treatment modality (e.g. alteration to salvage radiation field). 95% CIs will be used to express precision of the estimates.

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years post-scan

  3. 68Ga-PSMA-11 standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax)

    Changes in uptake will be compared among all groups using analysis of variance (ANOVA) or the Kruskal-Wallis test and between pairs of groups using the t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after systemic therapy initiation

  4. 68Ga-PSMA-11 standard uptake value normalized to lean body mass (SULpeak)

    Changes in uptake will be compared among all groups using ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis test and between pairs of groups using the t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after systemic therapy initiation

  5. Change in 68Ga-PSMA-11 SUVmax

    Expressed as percent (%) change from scan 1. Will be determined and correlated with change in prostate specific antigen (PSA) level and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) for measurable lesions, as assessed using Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient. The relationship of changes in SUVmax and SULpeak with clinical response categories will also be assessed graphically and summarized overall with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Clinical response categories will be defined as complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease and determined by clinical assessment, conventional imaging, and biopsy (if available). The subgroup analysis of this group will be exploratory. Changes in uptake will be compared among all groups using ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis test and between pairs of groups using the t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 weeks after systemic therapy initiation

  6. Change in 68Ga-PSMA-11 SULpeak

    Expressed as percent (%) change from scan 1. Will be determined and correlated with change in prostate specific antigen (PSA) level and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) for measurable lesions, as assessed using Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient. The relationship of changes in SUVmax and SULpeak with clinical response categories will also be assessed graphically and summarized overall with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Clinical response categories will be defined as complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease and determined by clinical assessment, conventional imaging, and biopsy (if available). The subgroup analysis of this group will be exploratory. Changes in uptake will be compared among all groups using ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis test and between pairs of groups using the t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 weeks after systemic therapy initiation

  7. Change in size of measurable metastatic lesions

    Assessed by CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years post-scan

  8. Histopathologic demonstration of prostate cancer within biopsy or surgical resection specimens

    Will be performed only in patients with biopsy or surgical resection specimens. Lesions on each scan will be categorized as positive or negative. Pathology results will also be scored as positive or negative based on the clinical interpretation. These results will then be used to calculate accuracy with 95% CIs. CIs will be calculated using the non-parametric bootstrap with resampling by patient to account to dependence between lesions from the same patient.

    Measured: Up to 5 years post-scan

  9. Change in PSMA total tumor volume

    Response defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years post-scan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Computed Tomography, Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide and Positron Emission Tomography in people with Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Carcinoma and Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma, run by University of Washington 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 16 inclusion and 1 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2026. 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 phase mean?

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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 in planned management strategy (time frame: Baseline up to 1.5 years after the last scan). 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 9 Jan 2026.
