Diagnostic Accuracy and Performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 in the Detection of Recurrent Prostate Cancer - a Prospective, Single-arm Study
Diagnostic Accuracy and Performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 in the Detection of Recurrent Prostate Cancer - a Prospective, Single-arm Study
Whereas 18F-PSMA-1007 has rapidly established itself as a radiotracer for the investigation of prostate cancer, there are no studies confirming its diagnostic performance. The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic performance for this radiotracer.
In this prospective, single-armed diagnostic imaging study men undergoing standard-of-care PSMA PET/CT using [18F]PSMA-1007 shall be studied. The primary objective is to confirm the positive predictive value (PPV) of this tracer at a patient-based level by recruiting until 53 patients with follow-up to a composite reference standard are available. Secondary outcomes shall include patient based rate of pathological-scans stratified by PSA, the PPV stratified by region , interrelate agreement, frequency of indeterminate lesions and the safety and tolerability of the examination.
Inclusion Criteria:
Post prostatectomy: two consecutive PSA > 0.2 ng/ml Post-radiotherapy: a rise of 2ng/mL > post-therapy nadir (ASTRO consensus definition)
Exclusion Criteria:
