Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Eligible for PSMA-targeted 177Lu radioligand therapy according to the European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) of the EMA for 177Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan (Pluvicto®) EMA/825883/2022.At least one metastasis that can be reliably assessed with MRI (location not restricted).ECOG performance score 0-1.Patient is suitable for 7 T MRI examination (no contraindications to ultra-high-field MRI). 

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Contraindications to 7 T MRI (e.g. non-MRI–compatible implants, severe claustrophobia, or other safety concerns).Any other condition precluding safe administration of 177Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy according to EMA SmPC/EPAR.The presence of diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2 with antidiabetic medication. 

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main independent variables are the values of cell proliferation and energy metabolism biomarkers at the first on-treatment MeMRI (i.e., after every two cycles of Lu-177-PSMA). The cell proliferation biomarker is defined as the ratio of phospho-mono-esters to phospho-di-esters (PME/PDE) of the on-treatment MeMRI. When more than one metastasis is found, the max. ratio across metastases with a volume of at least 2 cm3 will be used. The energy metabolism biomarker is defined as the ratio of the increase in lactate level of the last relative to the first scan of the on-treatment MRI session to the relative increase at baseline. 

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Predicted probability of overall survival at prespecified time horizons (e.g., 6, 12, 18 months) based on features measured at first on-treatment MeMRI (at second cycle of therapy), combined with available baseline and on-treatment imaging (PSMA-PET/CT), laboratory and clinical characteristics.
