68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI in Finding Tumors in Patients With Intermediate or High-Risk Prostate Cancer Undergoing Surgery

March 2, 2022 updated by: Andrei Iagaru

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI for Detection of Regional Nodal and Distant Metastases in Patients With Intermediate and High-Risk Prostate Cancer

This phase 2-3 trial studies the utility of 68-gallium (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen 11 (PSMA-11) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) to find tumors in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing resection surgery for prostate cancer that is prognostically expected to spread quickly (intermediate-risk) or is likely to come back or spread (high-risk). Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer, and reveal out how far the disease has spread. Radioactive drugs, such as 68Ga-PSMA-11, may bind to tumor cells that have specific receptors, and may allow doctors to see smaller tumors than the standard of care contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or MRI scan.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI for detection of tumor metastases in patients with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer scheduled to undergo prostatectomy with lymph node dissection.
  2. To assess sensitivity (positive predictive value) and specificity (negative predictive value) of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI for the detection of regional nodal metastases compared to pathology at radical prostatectomy.

OUTLINE:

Participants will receive 68Ga-PSMA-11 intravenously (IV). Patients then undergo PET/MRI after 45 minutes of administration of radiopharmaceutical injection.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24 to 48 hours.

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.

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
68Ga-PSMA-11 PET Detection of Prostate Cancer Metastasized to Lymph Nodes
Time Frame: 1 Day
68-gallium (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) will be used to detect regional nodal and distant metastases in participants with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer scheduled to undergo prostatectomy with lymph node dissection. The data will be analyzed by imaging interpretation. Each participant will be interpreted as either positive or negative for the presence of metastatic disease by 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI, as assessed by imaging interpretation. The outcome will be expressed as the number of participants with metastatic disease, as identified by PET/MRI, a number without dispersion.
1 Day

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
Histopathologic Detection of Prostate Cancer Metastasized to Lymph Nodes
Time Frame: 1 Day
Participants that undergo prostatectomy will be evaluated for prostate cancer metastasis to the lymph nodes as determined by histopathology. Each participants will be interpreted as either positive or negative for the presence of metastatic disease by histopathology. The outcome will be expressed as the number of participants with metastatic disease, as identified by histopathology, a number without dispersion.
1 Day
Sensitivity of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI
Time Frame: 1 Day
68-gallium (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) will be used to detect metastases in participants with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer scheduled to undergo prostatectomy with lymph node dissection. For participants that undergo both procedures (68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI and prostatectomy), sensitivity of the 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI detection of metastatic prostate cancer will be determined. For an individual participant, sensitivity means the 2 assessments are in agreement that the participant truly has (ie, true-positive) have the condition being tested for (ie, metastatic prostate cancer). The outcome is reported as the percentage of participants for which the 2 assessments are in agreement that metastatic prostate cancer is detected (true-positive), a number without dispersion.
1 Day
Specificity of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI
Time Frame: 1 Day
68-gallium (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) will be used to detect metastases in participants with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer scheduled to undergo prostatectomy with lymph node dissection. For participants that undergo both procedures (68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI and prostatectomy), specificity of the 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI detection of metastatic prostate cancer will be determined. For an individual participant, specificity means the 2 assessments are in agreement that the participant does not (ie, true-negative) have the condition being tested for (ie, metastatic prostate cancer). The outcome is reported as the percentage of participants for which the 2 assessments are in agreement that metastatic prostate cancer is not detected (true-negative), a number without dispersion.
