Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoints are the tumor SUV (upon intravenous and local intra-arterial injection), the SUV tumor-to-background ratio, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 biodistribution, the correlation between the SUV and the degree of immunohistochemical PSMA expression of the tumor. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Semi-quantitative comparison of tracer uptake in the tumor upon intravenous versus local intra-arterial injection of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11. | — |
