Prostate Carcinoma | Procedure: Biopsy of Prostate Other: Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Procedure: Transrectal Ultrasonography Guided Biopsy | Early Phase 1 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason score 7 or more) in patients with focal gallium Ga 68 gozetotide (68Ga-PSMA-11) uptake within the prostate.
OUTLINE:
SCREENING PROCEDURE: Patients receive 68Ga-PSMA-11 intravenously (IV) and 50-100 minutes later, undergo a PET/CT scan. Only patients with 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake within the prostate proceed to image-guided biopsy.
IMAGE-GUIDED BIOPSY: Patients undergo experimental image-guided prostate biopsy using PET/CT images obtained during screening procedure during a standard of care transrectal ultrasonography guided biopsy (TRUS).
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
