Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the tumor status after standard and/or image guided biopsy (when positive) or combined standard and image guided biopsy (when negative). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Tumor status will be evaluated after needle biopsy.;Main Objective: We hypothesize that the image guided biopsy using multiparametric metabolic hybrid imaging with [18F]Fluoroethylcholine (FEC)/[68]Ga-PSMA-PET/MRI is superior in the detection of primary localized prostate cancer than the conventional biopsy approach with transrectal ultrasound in patients with suspected prostate cancer (according to the inclusion criteria) and could therefore significantly improve the detection rate of the dominant intraprostatic tumor lesion and reduce the number of biopsies needed for a correct histopathological diagnosis to a minimum in the future (PET/MRI guided biopsy).; Secondary Objective: • This method should enable improved tumor characterization. A diagnostic accuracy of >80% is assumed in lesions >5mm (in axial, sagittal and coronal extension) for the ability of the multiparametric metabolic method to differentiate between Gleason =3+4=7 (7a) tumors and =4+3=7 (7b) tumors (as compared to histological whole mount tumor mapping) and to identify patients with a high risk of developing metastatic disease (as compared to the loss of the transcription factor STAT3(signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) and cell cycle regulator p14 in a molecular pathological workout of the radical prostatectomy specimen). • To evaluate, if the applied parameters of multiparametric metabolic imaging with FEC- and PSMA-PET/MRI are associated with the evidence of an early biochemical relapse after a PSA nadir <0.2ng/ml after primary treatment in a two years follow up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Prognosis quality of the aggressiveness of carcinoma compared between the standard and the image guided study arm measured via dichotomized Gleason score.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation of the secondary endpoint will be done after end of study visit (Visit 1, when no surgery is planned for the patient; End of Study visit for patients who undergo surgery)
