Study summary

To determine the effectiveness of Posluma PET Scan for monitoring prostate cancer patients after targeted treatment, including how accurately it can detect any remaining or returning cancer after about 12 months post-treatment.

Read the detailed description

This Phase II study will employ Posluma PSMA PET scans both preoperatively, for evaluation of lesions prior to focal therapy, and postoperatively, for monitoring recurrence and verifying treatment success. Imaging findings from Posluma PET will be compared with standard MRI and biopsy results to validate Posluma PET as an advanced diagnostic tool for improving PCa detection in patients undergoing focal therapy as well as postoperative follow-up after the procedure.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Diagnosis: Histologically confirmed PCa.
  2. Risk Profile: Intermediate-risk , organ-confined PCa
  3. Eligibility for Focal Therapy: Determined to be an appropriate candidate for focal therapy based on clinical evaluation.
  4. Age: 18 years or older.
  5. Life Expectancy: Expected survival of at least 10 years.
  6. Informed Consent: Ability to understand and willingness to sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previous Treatment: Prior treatment for PCa, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, focal therapy, or androgen deprivation therapy.
  2. Severe Comorbid Conditions: Presence of severe comorbid conditions that may interfere with study participation, such as uncontrolled cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, or metabolic diseases.
  3. Contraindications to Imaging: Known hypersensitivity to components of the Posluma PSMA radiotracer, or inability to undergo PET or MRI imaging due to medical or anatomical constraints (e.g., severe claustrophobia, metallic implants incompatible with MRI).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Posluma PET

    Participants will undergo Posluma PSMA PET scans at two time points: preoperatively to evaluate the extent of disease prior to focal therapy and postoperatively for monitoring treatment success and detecting potential recurrence. The Posluma PET imaging will be conducted on a PET/CT scanner with optimized protocols for PCa lesion detection. PET scan data will be analyzed in comparison with MRI and biopsy results. All imaging will be performed at UCSD, ensuring consistent imaging quality and scanner calibration across all patients.

    Diagnostic Test: Posluma PET

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testPosluma PET

    Posluma® (flotufolastat F 18) is an FDA-approved diagnostic PET imaging agent used to detect prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. It helps pinpoint the location of cancer when metastasis is suspected or when recurrence occurs due to elevated PSA levels.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Diagnostic performance of Posluma PSMA PET scan for prostate cancer after focal therapy

    To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Posluma PSMA PET scan in detecting residual or recurrent prostate cancer lesions approximately 12 months after focal therapy, compared to MRI and biopsy data.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Accuracy of Posluma PSMA PET Imaging for Detection of Residual and Recurrent Disease for Prostate Cancer

    To evaluate whether Posluma PSMA PET imaging can accurately detect residual or recurrent disease measured by comparison with MRI and biopsy results

    Time frame: 12 months
