Brief summary

Single-center, prospective, open-label, not randomized, diagnostic phase II trial in the management of patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed description

Single-center, prospective, open-label, not randomized, diagnostic phase II trial in the management of patients with prostate cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the additional diagnostic role of 18F- PSMA PET /CT (sensitivity) in patients with prostate cancer with biochemical relapse compared to other diagnostic methods routinely used. The primary objective is to evaluate the sensitivity of 18F-PSMA PET/CT defined as the ratio between the number of 18F-PSMA PET/CT positive patients and the number of prostate cancer patients with biochemical relapse and negative standard imaging.Patients enrolled in the study would benefit from a more accurate but above all earlier diagnosis of disease recurrence sites, thus being able to undergo targeted therapies, with a clear impact on the clinical management of the disease.

Interventions

18F-PSMA will be injected intravenously at a dosage of 200-250 megabecquerel (MBq) prior to perform Image acquisition (Topogram, CT, PET)

Previous radical treatment for prostate cancer (radiotherapy or surgery) 4. Negativity of all the other traditional morphological and functional imaging or doubtful imaging of 18F-FMC PET/CT 5. Patients with PSA progression defined as PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL and PSA rising defined as 2 subsequent values showing PSA increase at least 1 week apart. 6. Male participants whose partner is of child bearing potential must be willing to ensure that they or their partner use effective contraception during the study and for 3 months thereafter 7. Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Diagnostic role of 18F- PSMA PET /CT (sensitivity)Up to 30 monthsSensitivity of 18F-PSMA PET/CT will be calculated as the ratio between the number of 18F- PSMA PET/CT positive patients and number of patients with radically treated prostate cancer with biochemical relapse and negativity of traditional morphological imaging.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Sensitivity for different PSA values (ranges)Up to 30 monthsSensitivity of 18F-PSMA PET/CT will be stratified respect to different ranges of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) values.
Sensitivity for different lesion sitesUp to 30 monthsSensitivity of 18F-PSMA PET/CT will be stratified respect to different sites of lesion.
predictive role of 18F-PSMA PET/CT on disease status according to standard imaging and PSA evaluation.Up to 30 monthsTo evaluate the predictive role of 18F-PSMA PET/CT on disease status, for patients that will start an anticancer treatment. It will be performed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves generated by plotting sensitivity versus 1-specificity The best cut-off value for distinguishing between positive and negative 18F- PSMA PET/CT findings will be determined using Youden's index.
evaluation of the concordance between 18F-PSMA PET/CT and other methodsUp to 30 monthsTo evaluate the concordance between 18F-PSMA PET/CT and PET/CT or the others standard methods, for patients without any treatment, it will be performed by Cohen's kappa coefficient
18F-PSMA Safety: treated patients undergoing grade 1 to 4 adverse eventUp to 30 monthsNumber and percentage of treated patients undergoing grade 1 to 4 adverse events will be tabulated according to CTCAE version 5.0.
