  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 1. Men diagnosed with clinically significant prostate cancer who are scheduled or scheduling for prostatectomy 2. Prostate pathology results consistent with:
  • > 3 cores of Gleason 3+4 or

About this study

Official title: The Role of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Surgery Guidance in Prostate Cancer: A Prospective Pilot Trial

Obtain PSMA-PET imaging preoperatively and calculate performance for predicting extra-prostatic extension based on whole-mount pathology (gold standard).

Quantify the frequency of proper treatment changes directed by PSMA-PET, focusing on appropriate preservation of surrounding structures important for genito-urinary function including: 1) Bladder neck, 2) Nerve bundles, 3) Urethral Sphincter (Figure 4).

Directly compare PSMA-PET performance for predicting extra-prostatic extension to standard-of-care assessments.

Assess quality of life changes from preoperative baseline.

What participants receive

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

  • 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET ScanDiagnostic test

    Patients will undergo injection of 68Ga-PSMA-11 at the time of their pre treatment PSMA PET scan and followed until 12 months post surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of PSMA-PET and MRI Imaging Preoperatively for Predicting Extra-prostatic Extension

    Sensitivity detecting extra-prostatic extension of cancer at the nerve bundles

    Measured: The patients underwent a 60minute PET exam. The surgery was generally performed within 1month of the PET scan. The pathology was done 5-10 days after the surgery.

  2. Specificity of PSMA-PET and MRI

    Specificity of PSMA-PET and MRI to detect Extra-prostatic extension prior to prostatectomy. Whole mount pathology is used as the reference standard.

    Measured: Pre-surgery prediction.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 1) Quantify the Frequency of Proper Treatment Changes for Nerve Sparing Directed by PSMA-PET

    Rate of treatment changes

    Measured: 60 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET Scan in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Clinton Bahler 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 3 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jul 2023). 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?

Sensitivity of PSMA-PET and MRI Imaging Preoperatively for Predicting Extra-prostatic Extension (time frame: The patients underwent a 60minute PET exam. The surgery was generally performed within 1month of the PET scan. The pathology was done 5-10 days after the surgery.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04936334, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Aug 2023.
