Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Carcinoma Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma Prostate Adenocarcinoma Prostate Carcinoma PSA Level Greater Than Fifty PSA Progression Stage IV Prostate Cancer AJCC v8 Stage IVA Prostate Cancer AJCC v8 Stage IVB Prostate Cancer AJCC v8 | Procedure: Computed Tomography Drug: Gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography Other: Questionnaire Administration | Phase 2 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the impact of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 (68Ga-PSMA-11) PET/CT on initial and subsequent treatment strategies of patients with prostate cancer.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive 68Ga-PSMA-11 intravenously (IV) and undergo PET/CT scan over 3 hours. Patients may be reenrolled in the study, if 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT is performed for subsequent management decision.
After completion of study, patients are followed up within 3-12 months.

- Intended and implemented management changes after gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 (68Ga-PSMA-11) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) [ Time Frame: Up to 3-6 months after completion of imaging ]A separate analysis of initial versus subsequent management will be performed. Will be evaluated using descriptive statistics for both the treatment modality analysis and the disease stage based management analysis. Questionnaires will be collected to determine the intended patient management before and intended management changes after PET/CT, and to determine whether intended management changes were implemented. The outcome measure is the rate of change (%) as assessed by the questionnaires before and after PET.
- Prognostic value of the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT miTNM classification for biochemical progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From inclusion to date until PSA progression or death (whichever occurs first), assessed up to 12 months ]
- Prognostic value of the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT miTNM classification for radiographic PFS [ Time Frame: From inclusion to date until first site of disease is found to progress or death (whichever occurs first), assessed up to 12 months ]Nodal and visceral disease will be evaluated on cross-sectional imaging using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1/Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria. Bone metastases will be evaluated using bone scintigraphy and new lesions have to be confirmed on a second scan (2+2 rule) using PCWG3 criteria.
- Prognostic value of the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT miTNM classification for overall survival [ Time Frame: From inclusion to date of death, assessed up to 12 months ]
- Positive predictive value (PPV) on a per-patient and per-region basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET for detection of tumor location [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Confirmed by histopathology/biopsy or follow-up assessed separately for initial staging and restaging. Will be calculated and reported along with the corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals. The confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score method. PPV will be reported for each of the three blinded readers independently. Detection rates on a per-patient basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET stratified by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value will be summarized in tabular format and compared between PSA strata using chi-square analysis. Detection rate is defined as number of patients with PSMA positive disease, independent of pathology, imaging or clinical follow-up. A detection rate will be reported for each reader independently stratified by PSA.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients who fulfill criteria for initial staging or restaging as outlined below:
-
Initial treatment strategy decisions (initial staging): All patients with histologically proven prostate cancer or strong suspicion of prostate adenocarcinoma based on very high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (> 50 ng/mL) who require an initial treatment/management decision who may be candidate for any of the following strategies:
- Surgery
- External radiation therapy (RT)
- Other focal therapies
- Systemic medical treatment
- Watchful waiting
-
Assessment for subsequent treatment strategy (restaging), any of the following:
-
Patients with biochemical recurrence who are potential candidates for any salvage treatment. Biochemical recurrence is defined by rising PSA after definitive therapy with prostatectomy or radiation therapy, as any of the following:
- Post radical prostatectomy (RP): PSA equals to or greater than 0.2 ng/mL measured more than 6 weeks after RP
- Post-radiation therapy: Nadir + greater than or equal to 2 ng/mL rise in PSA
- Patients with known prostate cancer who undergo restaging because of new symptoms
- Patients with known metastatic prostate cancer who undergo restaging because of rising PSA with negative or inconclusive conventional imaging
- Patients with known prostate cancer who are treated medically or with radioligand therapy (RLT) in whom response to treatment is assessed
- Note: Patients may be reenrolled in the study, if 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is performed for subsequent management decision
-
-
- Capability to provide written informed consent
- Able to remain still for duration of each imaging procedure (about 30 minutes)
Exclusion Criteria:
- 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 concurrent illness, or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may significantly interfere with study compliance
- Inability to provide written informed consent
