NCT07164027

Brief Summary

This early phase I trial evaluates whether a new imaging technique using flotufolastat F 18 (a type of prostate specific membrane antigen \[PSMA\] imaging agent) with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) can be used to guide targeted prostate biopsies in men with prostate cancer. Flotufolastat F 18 is a radioactive imaging agent that binds to prostate tumor cells that express PSMA. This allows for visualization of PSMA-expressing tumor cells on imaging scans such as PET/CT. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research, flotufolastat F 18. Because prostate cancer takes up flotufolastat F 18, it can be seen with PET. CT utilizes X-rays that track the body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in the body. The PET/CT scanner combines the PET and the CT scanners into a single device. A targeted prostate biopsy refers to using advanced imaging for guidance when taking samples (biopsies) of the prostate. This method can fuse (combine) PET/CT images with real-time ultrasound during a prostate biopsy. PSMA PET/CT scans have the potential for guiding prostate biopsies. Using image fusion technology, they can increase detection of prostate cancer by providing anatomical information and guidance during a prostate biopsy. Improved detection of prostate cancer using PSMA PET/CT guidance may better inform men and their clinicians about prostate cancer risk and management. This study attempts to determine how often prostate cancer is found when using PSMA PET/CT scan images during a biopsy versus the conventional magnetic resonance imaging-guidance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Detection of high-grade cancer (grade group [GG] ≥ 2)

    Results of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)- and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided biopsy will be compared to the results of systematic biopsy in the same patient.

    At time of biopsy

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Proportion of subjects with incidental GG1 prostate cancer detected through systematic biopsy when the region of interest is benign on MRI and PSMA-positron emission tomography (PET)

    At time of biopsy

  • Rate of detection of GG ≥ 2 prostate cancer in relation to increasing standardized uptake value and Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System scores

    At time of biopsy

  • Percentage of cases where the intraprostatic tumor location identified by MRI-guided and PSMA-guided biopsies matches

    At time of biopsy

  • Accuracy and predictive value of the MRI + PSMA-PET composite score for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer during biopsy

    At time of biopsy

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (flotufolastat F-18 PET/CT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive flotufolastat F-18 IV and then, 50-100 minutes later, undergo PET/CT over 30 minutes. Within 6 months of PET/CT imaging, patients undergo PSMA PET/CT/US fusion biopsy and MRI/US fusion biopsy in a randomized order. Patients may undergo blood sample collection at screening and/or on study.
