November 22, 2023 updated by: Stephan Probst, MD, Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital

The Safety and Efficacy of 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA PET/CT in Prostate Cancer

The objectives of this study are to replicate the safety and efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and as a diagnostic and decision making tool in the management prostate cancer patients.The primary endpoints of the study are the incidence of adverse events (AE) in the study population up to 7 days following the scan, and the sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT vs CT on a per-patient and per-lesion basis.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Positron emission tomography / computer tomography (PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging procedure based on the measurement of positron emission from radiolabeled tracer molecules in vivo. A radiotracer in use today is 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA (DKFZ-11) - hereinafter abbreviated 68Ga-PSMA - which is a radiolabeled urea-based ligand for prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT. Imaging with 68Ga-PSMA PET is used to characterize and localize prostate cancer in humans in vivo. There is extensive data in the literature showing the value of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging in accurately staging and restaging prostate cancer. The objectives of this study are to replicate the safety and efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and to establish our ability to reproduce results from the literature using 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT as a diagnostic and decision making tool in the management prostate cancer patients. During the study eligible prostate cancer patients will undergo one 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. The primary endpoints of the study are the incidence of adverse events (AE) in the study population up to 7 days following the scan, and the sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT vs CT on a per-patient and per-lesion basis.

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 to 120 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Able to tolerate the physical/logistical requirements of a PET/CT scan including lying supine (or prone) for up to 40 minutes and tolerating intravenous cannulation

Global Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with unmanageable claustrophobia

Clinical Indication Criteria Subgroups:

  • BCR: Biochemical recurrence as defined by serum PSA > 0.1 ng/ml following either radical prostatectomy or curative-intent radiotherapy or other prostate-ablative definitive management

  • HRS: Staging of high risk patients as defined by any one of the following:

    • Gleason score > 7
    • Serum PSA > 10 ng/ml
    • T stage of T3 or greater on TNM staging
    • Equivocal conventional staging such as CT, MRI or bone scan
    • Clinical suspicion of advance stage disease (e.g. bone pain)

Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
