Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of the study is to improve clinicians’ ability to identify LNI in PCa patients undergoing RARP with an ePLND and to assess the role of 99mTc-PSMA-I&S in this setting.;Secondary Objective: 1.To optimize the synthesis of 99mTc-PSMA-I&S 2.To assess the safety and tolerability of the administration of 99mTc-PSMA-I&S 3.To assess the diagnostic accuracy of 99mTc-PSMA-RGS in the identification of LNI in men at higher risk for LNI and to compare its predictive accuracy to preoperative 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI and to available predictive tools such as the Briganti nomogram. 4.To assess whether 99mTc-PSMA-RGS would allow for the identification of positive nodes outside the anatomically defined ePLND template, which includes the internal and external iliac as well as the obturator lymphatic landing sites.;Primary end point(s): Rate of LNI observed at final pathology after 99mTc-PSMA-RGS (namely, histopathological evaluation of the lymph nodes done by a dedicated high-volume uro-pathologists, the results are typically available 10 days after surgery).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 10 days | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Side effects associated with the administration of 99mTC-PSMA-I&S; Rate of intraoperative complications associated with 99mTc-PSMA-RGS assessed at visit 2; Rate of postoperative complications associated with 99mTc-PSMA-RGS assessed; Rate of LNI observed at final pathology in nodes outside the extended nodal dissection template detected only by 99mTc-PSMA-RGS;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Within 84 days; Day 28; Day 84; Day 10 | — |
