A study in male patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer to assess the accuracy of an imaging tracer at diagnosing prostate cancer, in comparison to standard prostate biopsy. In addition, the study will collect additional data on the tracers safety, look at the possible ability in the tracer detecting cancer spread to nearby bone and look at the tumour uptake of the tracer.

An open-label, single-arm, rater-blinded, multicenter phase 1/2 study to assess safety and diagnostic accuracy and radiotherapeutic implications of pre-operative Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging in comparison to histopathology, in newly-diagnosed prostate cancer (PCA) patients at high risk for metastasis, scheduled for radical prostatectomy (RP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (EPLND). - Ga-68-PSMA-11 in high-risk prostate cancer

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1. To assess the ability of Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging to detect prostate cancer tissue within a. the prostate gland on level of quadrant (or octant if possible) and b. pelvic lymph node metastases on level of 8 defined sub-regions. 2. To assess the clinical safety of Ga-68-PSMA-11. ;Secondary Objective: 1.To assess the ability of Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging to detect bone metastases in comparison to 99mTc bone scintigraphy 2.To compare Ga-68-PSMA-11 uptake in primary tumors with Gleason score in surgical specimens from RP. 3.Determine the percentage of patients in which pre-operative Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging would result into a change in clinical management. 4.To evaluate the impact of pre-operative Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging on target volume definition for radiotherapy. 5.Exploratory analysis of molecular and clinical biomarkers (CTC, RNA, DNA, proteins) in blood, serum and plasma. ;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint is the detection of PET signals in prostate gland (on level of quadrant or octant if possible) and lymph nodes of the pelvis (on level of 8 defined subregions) after Ga-68-PSMA-11 injection. Another primary endpoint is occurrence of side effects. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At Day 1

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints include detection of bone metastasis, standard uptake values (SUV) of PET signals in prostate gland and lymph nodes of the pelvis, detection of PET signals outside the pelvis, and change of clinical therapy management. Moreover the impact of PSMA imaging on target volume definition in radiotherapy will be studied.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of trial
