68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI in Evaluating Patients With Recurrent Prostate Cancer

February 20, 2018 updated by: Andrei Iagaru, Stanford University

68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI in the Evaluation of Patients With Prostate Cancer: A Feasibility Study

This clinical trial studies gallium-68 (68Ga)-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) (gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA ligand Glu-urea-Lys[Ahx]) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying prostate cancer that may have returned after a period of improvement (biochemical recurrence). 68Ga-PSMA is a radiopharmaceutical that localizes to a specific prostate cancer receptor, which can then be imaged by the PET/CT or PET/MRI scanner.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Provides written informed consent
  • Known diagnosis of prostate cancer
  • Patient has suspected recurrence based on biochemical data (prostate specific antigen [PSA] > 2 ng/mL)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unable to provide informed consent

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Average SUVmax of Ga68 PSMA Uptake Outside the Expected Normal Biodistribution
Time Frame: an estimated average of 1 hour
The biodistribution (ie, the location(s) of physiologic radiopharmaceutical uptake within the body) of Ga68 PSMA will be evaluated using PET/CT or PET/MRI. Biodistribution will be measured by drawing regions of interest (ROI) around areas with visually appreciable increased focal uptake over background (mediastinal blood pool) and calculating a standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax), which is a semi-quantitative measurement of the maximum value of radiopharmaceutical uptake within the ROI.
an estimated average of 1 hour
Average SUVmean of Ga68 PSMA Uptake Outside the Expected Normal Biodistribution
Time Frame: an estimated average of 1 hour
The biodistribution (ie, the location(s) of physiologic radiopharmaceutical uptake within the body) of Ga68 PSMA will be evaluated using PET/CT or PET/MRI. Biodistribution will be measured by drawing regions of interest (ROI) around areas with visually appreciable increased focal uptake over background (mediastinal blood pool) and calculating a SUVmean which is a semi-quantitative measurement of the average value of radiopharmaceutical uptake within the ROI.
an estimated average of 1 hour
Average SUVmax Focal Uptake of Ga68 PSMA (F/N Ratio)
Time Frame: an estimated average of 1 hour
Focal uptake will be measured by drawing regions-of-interest (ROI) around areas with visually appreciable increased focal uptake over background (mediastinal blood pool) and calculating a SUVmax (a semi-quantitative measurement of the maximum value of radiopharmaceutical uptake within the ROI). The result will be expressed as the F/N ratio, ie, SUVmax of focal uptake divided by SUVmax of background.
an estimated average of 1 hour
Average SUVmean Focal Uptake of Ga68 PSMA (F/N Ratio)
Time Frame: an estimated average of 1 hour
Focal uptake will be measured by drawing regions-of-interest (ROI) around areas with visually appreciable increased focal uptake over background (mediastinal blood pool) and calculating a SUVmean (a semi-quantitative measurement of the average value of radiopharmaceutical uptake within the ROI). The result will be expressed as the F/N ratio, ie, SUVmax of focal uptake divided by SUVmax of background.
an estimated average of 1 hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility of Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI Scan
Time Frame: an estimated average of 2 hours
Feasibility of Ga68 PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI is expressed as the number of subjects for whom the scan was successfully completed.
an estimated average of 2 hours
