Prostate Adenocarcinoma Recurrent Prostate Carcinoma | Radiation: Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography | Phase 3 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the sensitivity on a per-patient and per-region-basis of Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide (68Ga-PSMA-11) PET for detection of tumor location confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the positive predictive value (PPV) on a per-patient and per-region-basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET for detection of tumor location confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up (composite reference standard).
II. To assess the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) on a per-patient and per-region-basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET for detection of tumor location confirmed by histopathology/biopsy only.
III. To assess the detection rates on a per-patient basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET stratified by prostate specific antigen (PSA) value (0.2 - < 0.5, 0.5 - < 1.0, 1.0 - < 2.0, 2.0 - < 5.0, >= 5.0).
IV. To assess the impact of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET on clinical management in biochemical recurrence (BCR) patients.
V. To assess the inter-reader reproducibility. VI. To assess the safety of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET. VII. To assess the detection rates on a per-patient basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET stratified by PSA velocity and PSA doubling-time.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 intravenously (IV). Beginning 50-100 minutes after receiving gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11, patients undergo PET imaging.
After completion of study, patients are followed up for 3-12 months.

- Sensitivity on a per-patient and per-region-basis of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography for detection of tumor location [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up. Will be calculated and reported along with the corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals. The confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score method.
- Positive predictive value (PPV) on a per-patient and per-region-basis of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography for detection of tumor location [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Confirmed by histopathology/biopsy and, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up. Will be calculated and reported along with the corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals. The paired McNemar's test will be used to compare the positive predictive values of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography imaging to the positive predictive values of conventional imaging.
- Sensitivity and PPV on a per-patient and per-region-basis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET) for detection of tumor location confirmed by histopathology/biopsy [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Will be summarized in tabular format. Ninety-five confidence intervals of sensitivity, specificity, and net present value (NPV) will be calculated using the Wilson score method.
- Detection rates on a per-patient basis of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography stratified by PSA value [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Detection rates on a per-patient basis of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography stratified by PSA value (0.2 - < 0.5, 0.5 - < 1.0, 1.0 - < 2.0, 2.0 - < 5.0, >= 5.0) and PSA velocity/doubling-time will be summarized in tabular format and compared between PSA strata using chi-square analysis.
- Detection rates on a per-patient basis of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography stratified by PSA velocity and PSA doubling-time [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Detection rates on a per-patient basis of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography stratified by PSA value (0.2 - < 0.5, 0.5 - < 1.0, 1.0 - < 2.0, 2.0 - < 5.0, >= 5.0) and PSA velocity/doubling-time will be summarized in tabular format and compared between PSA strata using chi-square analysis.
- Clinical management in biochemical recurrence patients [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]The impact of gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography on clinical management in biochemical recurrence patients will be evaluated using descriptive statistics.
- Inter-reader reproducibility [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Inter-reader reproducibility for positivity at the patient level and region level will be reported using the Fleiss' Kappa test for multiple readers.
- Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]Safety will be reported descriptively as rates of patient reported adverse events. Additionally, adverse events will be characterized and quantified by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.03.
