Phase 2

Registration Number
NCT03471650
Lead Sponsor
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Brief Summary

This is a phase II, single-center, open-label, trial to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA-targeted 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in a screening population.

Detailed Description

This is a phase II, single-center, open-label, trial to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA-targeted 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in a screening population. 150 biopsy-naïve patients with an elevated PSA (2-10 ng/mL) will be enrolled in this study.

Within 28 days of informed consent, patients will undergo an 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT. All scans will be read by a single experienced radiologist who will identify regions of interest (ROI) with discrete radiotracer uptake. The maximum SUV value (SUVmax) of each ROI will be recorded. For patients without a detectable ROI, the mean SUV (SUVmean) of a 1-2 cm volume of the prostate will instead be recorded.

One to 28 days following PET/CT imaging, a systematic 12 to 14 core TRUS-guided prostate biopsy will be performed. Immediately following completion of systematic TRUS biopsies, fusion-targeted biopsies of all PET and/or MRI visible lesions will be performed, taking an additional 2 to 3 cores from each radiographic ROI. All biopsy cores will be assessed for Gleason score and percent cancer involvement.
