Study summary

This study provides expanded access to radiotracer Gallium 68 (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-HBED-CC (68Ga-PSMA-11) with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for participants with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer before prostatectomy or for suspected biochemical recurrence of their prostate cancer. Compared to conventional imaging, 68Ga PSMA-HBED-CC might improve the ability to localize the sites of recurrent or metastatic disease, which helps with surgical and other treatment planning.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Provide participants with prostate cancer access to 68Ga PSMA-HBED-CC to localize the site of potential metastatic or recurrent disease.

OUTLINE:

Eligible participants will be intravenously administered 68Ga PSMA-HBED-CC at a dose of 3-7 mCi (111 - 259 MBq), target 5 mCi. The estimated uptake time of the study agent is 75 minutes ± 25 minutes. The targeted uptake time is 60 minutes, with an acceptable range of 50-100 minutes. Following the PET scan with the study agent, participants will undergo either surgical management or treatment for metastatic disease in accordance with institutional standards.

Patients will be observed for 2 hours after injection of the radiotracer, and will be followed-up 1-3 days post injection with a phone call.

Inclusion criteria

PLANNED PROSTATECTOMY

  • -proven prostate adenocarcinoma
  • Intermediate to high-risk disease, defined as one of the following factors: PSA > 10, T2b or greater, or a Gleason score of 7 or greater.
  • Planned prostatectomy with lymph node dissection
  • Must be treatment naïve (not have received chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, androgen deprivation therapy, or focal ablation techniques (e.g., HiFu)

BIOCHEMICAL RECURRENCE

  • proven prostate adenocarcinoma. Rising PSA after definitive therapy with prostatectomy or radiation therapy (external beam or brachytherapy).
  • If post-radical prostatectomy, PSA > 0.2 ng/mL measured > 6 weeks post-operatively and confirmatory persistent PSA greater than 0.2 ng/mL (AUA recommendation for biochemical recurrence).
  • If post-radiation therapy, PSA that is equal to or greater than a 2 mg/mL rise above PSA nadir (ASTRO recommendation for biochemical recurrence).
  • No other within the past 2 years (skin basal cell or cutaneous superficial squamous cell carcinoma or superficial bladder cancer are exempt from this criterion).

ALL

  • performance status (KPS) >= 50 ( 0, 1, or 2)
  • Not receiving any other agents (i.e., unlabeled drugs or drugs under an IND for initial efficacy investigations
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to provide

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of Stevens-Johnson syndrome
  • Known Paget's disease
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
