Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT in Patients With Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer: Digital PET/CT Versus Analog PET/CT

September 27, 2021 updated by: Jin-Sook Ryu

Diagnostic Performance of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT in Patients With Biochemical Recurrence After Prostatectomy: A Comparison of Digital PET/CT and Analog PET/CT Scanner Images

Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT is known as useful method for localizing recurred tumor lesions in prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence [elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) after radical prostatectomy]. The recent digital PET/CT which is known to show better resolution and sensitivity than analogue PET/CT may have better performance for detecting early small recurred tumor lesions. This study is intended to compare the diagnostic performance (detection rate and positive predictive value) of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT using analogue PET/CT scanner and digital PET/CT scanner in same patients who had biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.

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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

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

19 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Preliminary study - Establishment of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging conditions (three subjects)

    • Equal or more than 19 years old

  2. Main study (40 subjects)

    • Equal or more than 19 years old
    • Patients who had previously undergone radical prostatectomy and were histologically diagnosed with prostate cancer.
    • Patients identified with biochemical recurrence through serum PSA tests during postoperative follow-up (Serum PSA level equal or more than 0.2 ng/ml at least two times and one of the tests was conducted within one month before consent to the study) in which metastatic lesions were not found or uncertain in standard imaging modalities (abdominal/Pelvic CT, bone scan).
    • Patients who can be followed up clinically, including serum PSA tests, for at least 6 months after consent to the study at this hospital.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Preliminary study - Establishment of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging conditions (three subjects)

    • Primary cancer other than prostate cancer has been previously diagnosed or has occurred simultaneously with prostate cancer; Previous primary cancer other than prostate cancer is a local disease and has been cured completely shall be an exception.
    • Subjects who has concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled and/or unstable medical disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, severe pulmonary disease, chronic renal or hepatic disease which could compromise participation in the study) based on the judgment of the investigator
    • Subjects who cannot perform PET/CT imaging due to claustrophobia, dyskinesia, anxiety disorders, etc.

  2. Main study (40 subjects)

    • Primary cancer other than prostate cancer has been previously diagnosed or has occurred simultaneously with prostate cancer; Previous primary cancer other than prostate cancer is a local disease and has been cured completely shall be an exception.
    • Subjects who cannot perform CT, bone scan, etc., which are standard diagnostic procedures for lesion localization in case of biochemical recurrence.
    • Subjects who has concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled and/or unstable medical disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, severe pulmonary disease, chronic renal or hepatic disease which could compromise participation in the study) based on the judgment of the investigator
    • Subjects who cannot perform PET/CT imaging due to claustrophobia, dyskinesia, anxiety disorders, etc.
    • Subjects who might make the collection of complete data difficult or impossible due to personal circumstances or other reasons, in the judgment of the investigator.
