Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

This study will be assessing the ability of PSMA-PET CT to determine the absence of clinically significant prostate cancer in patients on active surveillance (AS) with low risk and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized single-arm study assessing the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA-PET CT (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) in determining the absence of clinically significant prostate cancer in patients on active surveillance (AS).The trial will enroll 200 subjects for low and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients per NCCN guidelines who have elected to pursue active surveillance.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPSMA-PET CT

Patients will undergo PSMA-PET CT (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) at baseline, 12 month and 24 month time point.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Negative predictive value (NPV)BaselineNegative predictive value (NPV): The NPV is defined as the number of negative image results with identified clinically insignificant prostate cancer on biopsy divided by the number of negative image results.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Positive predictive value (PPV) of PSMA PET.BaselinePPV of PSMA PET. Positive predictive value (PPV): The PPV is defined as the number of positive image results with identified csPCa on biopsy divided by the number of positive image results.
Number of patients with negative PSMA pet scan.Baseline
Number of positive scans on mpMRIBaselineSpecificity and sensitivity of PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Sensitivity: The sensitivity will be defined as the number of positive image results with a csPCa upon biopsy divided by the number of biopsied patients with csPCa following the imaging.
Number of positive scans on PSMA-PETBaselineSpecificity and sensitivity of PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Sensitivity: The sensitivity will be defined as the number of positive image results with a csPCa upon biopsy divided by the number of biopsied patients with csPCa following the imaging.
Number of positive scans on both PSMA-PET and mpMRIBaselineSpecificity and sensitivity of PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Sensitivity: The sensitivity will be defined as the number of positive image results with a csPCa upon biopsy divided by the number of biopsied patients with csPCa following the imaging.
Number of negative scans on mpMRIBaselineSpecificity and sensitivity of PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Specificity: The specificity is defined as the number of negative image results followed by the absence of csPCa in the corresponding biopsy divided by the number of biopsies that did not identify csPCa.
Number of negative scans on PSMA-PETBaselineSpecificity and sensitivity of PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Specificity: The specificity is defined as the number of negative image results followed by the absence of csPCa in the corresponding biopsy divided by the number of biopsies that did not identify csPCa.
Number of negative scans on both PSMA-PET and mpMRIBaselineSpecificity and sensitivity of PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Specificity: The specificity is defined as the number of negative image results followed by the absence of csPCa in the corresponding biopsy divided by the number of biopsies that did not identify csPCa.
Number of patients who have clinically significant Prostate Cancer (csPCa) detected by PSMA-PET.BaselineThe proportion of csPCa detected by PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Proportion of patients with csPCa: this will be the number of patients identified as having csPCa divided by the number of patients with a biopsy.
Number of patients who have clinically significant Prostate Cancer (csPCa) detected by mpMRI.BaselineThe proportion of csPCa detected by PSMA-PET, mpMRI, and the combination. Proportion of patients with csPCa: this will be the number of patients identified as having csPCa divided by the number of patients with a biopsy.
