68Ga-RM2 PET/CT in Detecting Regional Nodal and Distant Metastases in Patients With Intermediate or High-Risk Prostate Cancer

November 18, 2023 updated by: Andrei Iagaru

68Ga-RM2 PET/CT for Detection of Regional Nodal and Distant Metastases in Patients With Intermediate and High-Risk Prostate Cancer

This phase II trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-labeled gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) antagonist BAY86-7548 (68Ga-RM2) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in detecting regional nodal and distant metastases in patients with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer. 68Ga-RM2 PET/CT scan may be able to see smaller tumors than the standard of care CT or magnetic resonance imaging scan.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate 68Ga-RM2 PET/CT for detection of intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer prior to prostatectomy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 68Ga-RM2 intravenously (IV). Within 45-60 minutes, patients undergo a PET/CT scan. Patients may undergo a second PET/CT scan immediately after the first scan for attenuation correction. Patients may undergo also a repeat 68Ga-RM2 PET/CT scan after the completion of their treatment to evaluate response to therapy, if requested by the treating physician.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24-48 hours and within 3-12 months.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Biopsy proven prostate adenocarcinoma
  • Planned prostatectomy with lymph node dissection
  • Intermediate to high-risk disease (as determined by elevated PSA [PSA > 10], T-stage [T2b or greater], Gleason score [Gleason score > 6] or other risk factors)
  • Able to provide written consent
  • Karnofsky performance status of >= 50 (or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG]/World Health Organization [WHO] equivalent)
  • Diagnostic CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed within 30 days prior to the 68Ga-RM2 PET

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability to lie still for the entire imaging time (approximately 30 minutes)
  • Inability to complete the needed investigational and standard-of-care imaging examinations due to other reasons (severe claustrophobia, radiation phobia, etc.)
  • Any additional medical condition, serious intercurrent illness, or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may significantly interfere with study compliance

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive, and Negative Predictive Value of 68Ga-RM2 PET for the Detection of Regional Nodal Metastases Compared to Pathology at Radical Prostatectomy
Time Frame: week 1 study visit following radiopharmaceutical administration, up to 2 hours to assess
True positive patient is defined as PET positive for regional nodes, pathology at prostatectomy positive for regional nodes or PET positive for regional nodes, pathology negative for regional nodes, imaging after prostatectomy demonstrates node was not removed at surgery, and follow-up biopsy or imaging demonstrates presence of nodal disease. True negative patient is defined as PET negative for regional nodes, pathology at prostatectomy negative for regional nodes. False positive patient is defined as PET positive for regional nodes, pathology at prostatectomy is negative, and imaging after prostatectomy
week 1 study visit following radiopharmaceutical administration, up to 2 hours to assess

True positive patient is defined as PET positive for regional nodes, pathology at prostatectomy positive for regional nodes or PET positive for regional nodes, pathology negative for regional nodes, imaging after prostatectomy demonstrates node was not removed at surgery, and follow-up biopsy or imaging demonstrates presence of nodal disease. True negative patient is defined as PET negative for regional nodes, pathology at prostatectomy negative for regional nodes.
