About this study

Official title: A Phase Ⅱ, Single-arm, Open-label Trial of DGPR1008 for Intraoperative Fluorescence Imaging of Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen-positive Prostate Cancer

a Phase II, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and the effectiveness of near-infrared fluorescence imaging during surgery.

Read the detailed description

We plan to enroll 27 prostate cancer patients and divide them into 3 different time-window groups. Intravenous administration will be conducted 12/24/36 hours before surgery. Blood samples will be collected for relevant tests, and fluorescence imaging will be performed during the operation. After surgery, the intraoperative imaging results will be compared with pathological findings to draw relevant conclusions.

Being tested
12 h before RP, 24 h before RP, 36 h before RP

What participants receive

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

  • 12 h before RPDrug

    DGPR1008 (0.04 mg/kg according to each subject's body weight) was given as a single slow infusion 12 hours (±4 hours) preoperatively, after which radical prostatectomy was performed. The investigator shall conduct near-infrared fluorescence imaging during the operation to assist with the surgery. Tissues detected with fluorescence need to be marked, and resection shall be guided by fluorescence until there is no fluorescent tissue within the surgical field.

  • 24 h before RPDrug

    DGPR1008 (0.04 mg/kg according to each subject's body weight) was given as a single slow infusion 24 hours (±4 hours) preoperatively, after which radical prostatectomy was performed. The investigator shall conduct near-infrared fluorescence imaging during the operation to assist with the surgery. Tissues detected with fluorescence need to be marked, and resection shall be guided by fluorescence until there is no fluorescent tissue within the surgical field.

  • 36 h before RPDrug

    DGPR1008 (0.04 mg/kg according to each subject's body weight) was given as a single slow infusion 36 hours (±4 hours) preoperatively, after which radical prostatectomy was performed. The investigator shall conduct near-infrared fluorescence imaging during the operation to assist with the surgery. Tissues detected with fluorescence need to be marked, and resection shall be guided by fluorescence until there is no fluorescent tissue within the surgical field.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the efficacy of DGPR-1008 (administered 12 hours prior) in conjunction with a near-infrared fluorescence imaging device for intraoperative detection in patients.

    Detection of prostate cancer tissue by DGPR1008 using near-infrared fluorescence (NIR) imaging at 12 hours after intravenous administration to subjects. Evaluate the sensitivity (or true positive rate, TP/[TP+FN]), specificity (or true negative rate, TN/[TN+FP]), false positive rate (FP/[FP+TN]), and false negative rate (FN/[FN+TP]) of DGPR-1008 for detecting prostate cancer tissue in near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR) during radical prostatectomy. The proportion of additionally resected tissues that are diagnosed as tumors by pathological evaluation.

    Measured: From the screening period to the Day 7 of the trial

Evaluate the sensitivity (or true positive rate, TP/[TP+FN]), specificity (or true negative rate, TN/[TN+FP]), false positive rate (FP/[FP+TN]), and false negative rate (FN/[FN+TP]) of DGPR-1008 for detecting prostate cancer tissue in near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR) during radical prostatectomy. The proportion of additionally resected tissues that are diagnosed as tumors by pathological evaluation.

    To evaluate the proportion of subjects with a positive surgical margin (PSM) score of ≥1, as assessed by histopathology, at different time points after radical prostatectomy.

    Measured: From the screening period to the Day 7 of the trial

  2. Evaluate DGPR1008 combined with near-infrared fluorescence imaging devices for detecting positive lymph nodes in histopathological examination following radical prostatectomy

    To evaluate the proportion of subjects with positive lymph nodes, as assessed by histopathology, at different time points after radical prostatectomy.

    Measured: From the screening period to the Day 7 of the trial

  3. Evaluate the safety of single-dose administration of DGPR1008 in patients

    Adverse event collection, including (such as the location, nature, and frequency of pain), physical signs (such as the scope of rash, blood pressure values), laboratory abnormal values and units (such as ALT 200 U/L), etc.

    Measured: From the screening period to the Day 7 of the trial

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 7 inclusion and 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 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 China. 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?

Contact Haitao Niu (86+0532-82911329, niuht0532@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the efficacy of DGPR-1008 (administered 12 hours prior) in conjunction with a near-infrared fluorescence imaging device for intraoperative detection in patients. (time frame: From the screening period to the Day 7 of the trial). The study lists 3 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 4 Feb 2026.
