Fully Hybrid 18F-PSMA PET/MRI as One-stop Approach for the Diagnosis of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer. (RF2021-1237227)

April 10, 2024 updated by: Chiti Arturo, IRCCS San Raffaele

This project aims to evaluate the role of fully hybrid PET/MRI with 18FPSMA and multiparametric MR imaging (mpMRI) as one-stop approach for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).

Our main hypothesis is that adding 18F-PSMA PET to mpMRI prior to biopsy, will reduce the number of false negative findings, while at the same time, allowing also to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies in patients with low-risk, clinically indolent PCa.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To assess the accuracy and the predictive value of fully hybrid 18F-PSMA PET/MRI for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa)
Time Frame: PET/MRI: day 0 prostate biopsy: day 0-90 days
Diagnostic accuracies of 18F-PSMA PET and mpMRI will be calculated by means of sensitivity: true positive/(true positive + false negative) and specificity: true negative/(false positive + true negative) using the prostate biopsy result as reference standard.
PET/MRI: day 0 prostate biopsy: day 0-90 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To compare the proportion of csPCa missed by 18F-PSMA PET scan or mpMRI alone To report the reduction in the detection of clinically insignificant PCa when combining mpMRI and 18F-PSMA PET
Time Frame: PET/MRI: day 0 prostate biopsy: day 0-90 days
The proportion of csPCa (defined by analysis of prostate biopsy cores, ISUP grade equal or higher than 2) missed by PSMA PET scan or mpMRI alone will be calculated.
PET/MRI: day 0 prostate biopsy: day 0-90 days
