Brief Summary

Early and correct diagnostic staging is paramount to keep patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer in the correct treatment tract to avoid under- and overdiagnosis in prostate cancer staging. With accurate staging, the investigators aim to save patients from side effects of insufficient or too extensive treatment. The investigators hypothesize that precise staging will lead to optimized individualized treatment and subsequently to prolonged survival and increased quality of life. Prostate cancer is a very heterogeneous disease varying from indolent tumors to aggressive cancer types. About one-fifth of patients with newly detected high- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer present with bone metastases and their 3-years survival is less than 50%. Precise staging is required for planning relevant treatment that has the potential to increase survival. The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is overexpressed in prostate cancer cells and can serve as a target for precise diagnosis and staging. PSMA-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has shown to be more accurate than traditional imaging, but there is a need for prospective trials analyzing the impact of primary staging with PSMA-PET/CT on treatment planning and patient benefit. In a prospective multicenter study, the investigators plan to include 448 patients and randomize 1:1 to either traditional imaging or PSMA-PET/CT. The investigators aim to analyze whether PSMA-PET/CT increases progression-free survival and quality of life. Further, the investigators aim to validate the accuracy of primary staging with PSMA-PET/CT compared with conventional imaging.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival (Group A vs. B)

    Time from treatment with curative intent to progression, eg. time from staging/curative treatment to PSA-value (or other clinical findings) deeming relapse.

    1 to 3 years after staging

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Treatment Strategy (Group A vs. B)

    Immediately after staging - 1-2 months after the scan.

  • Quality of life according to questionnaires (Group A vs. B)

    1 to 3 years after staging. Questionnaire: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate Cancer (FACT-P v. 4)

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Accuracy NaF-PET/CT compared to PSMA-PET/CT for detection of metastases

    Immediately after staging/up to 1 month after the scan.

  • Value of PSMA/MR for tumor staging and detection of lymph node and bone metastases in the pelvis.

    After prostatectomy, up to 3 months after the scan.

Study Arms (2)

A) Conventional Imaging

NO INTERVENTION

Conventional Imaging with NaF (sodium fluoride)-PET/CT used for staging

B) Interventional Imaging

EXPERIMENTAL

Staging with the interventional18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT.

Diagnostic Test: 18F-PSMA-1007

Interventions

18F-PSMA-1007DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

18F-PSMA-1007 is a tracer for a PET/CT. Prostate cancer often has marked uptake of PSMA, hence PSMA-PET/CT is in the guidelines in the European Union for detecting relapse. But we will use it for staging primary prostate cancer.

B) Interventional Imaging

Model Details: Included patients will be randomized 1:1 into a control group (A) and an interventional group (B). Block randomization will be stratified by high-/intermediate-/low-risk PCa patients. Bone Scan has been substituted with NaF-PET/CT in clinical routine at participating departments, and will as well in this study. Primary staging in each group will be performed as follows: * Group A: CE-CT and NaF-PET/CT (conventional imaging) * Group B: 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT (interventional imaging) In group B, a sufficient number of patients will have conventional imaging performed (an added NaF-PET/CT), which will be blinded and used for diagnostic accuracy measures. A subset of patients with risk of extracapsular extension planned for radical prostatectomy in group B will also have an 18F-PSMA-PET/MRi-scan performed.
