About this trial
This is an open label, longitudinal Phase 3 study of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to standard of care (SOC) for the detection of prostate cancer (PCa).
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male, at least 18 years old.
Have a clinical suspicion of PCa, and will undergo template biopsy, based on either: an initial MRI examination (PI-RADS 3-4) within 3 months (92 days) before enrollment, or no MRI evidence (PI-RADs 1-2) within 3 months (92 days) before enrollment, but a clinician indicated intent to proceed with template biopsy due to non-imaging risk factors.
Persistently elevated or rising PSA i. PSA ≥ 3.0 ng/mL ii. Rising PSA velocity (e.g., >0.35-0.75 ng/mL/year over 2-3 years) is also considered suspicious, especially in men with PSA<10ng/mL.
High PSA density (PSAD) i. PSA density > 0.15 ng/mL/cm³ is considered high-risk for csPCa. ii. Calculated as PSA (ng/mL) divided by prostate volume (from MRI).
Disqualifiers
Has had prior treatment for PCa or prior diagnosis of csPCa.
Obvious metastatic disease on prior conventional imaging.
Previous diagnosis of cancer of any primary origin (excluding basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy).
Active prostate infection, or urinary test results suggestive of an active urinary tract infection, evident on medical history, within 4 weeks of enrollment.

Treatments tested in this trial
68Ga-PSMA-11
DrugThe radioconjugate 68Ga-PSMA-11 is composed of a human PSMA-targeting ligand peptide conjugated via the acyclic radiometal chelator, N, N'-bis \[2-hydroxy-5-(carboxyethyl)benzyl\] ethylenediamine-N, N'-diacetic acid (HBED-CC) to the radioisotope Gallium68 ( 68Ga); which binds to PSMA on the surface of cells expressing PSMA, including malignant prostate cancer cells, which usually overexpress PSMA. 68Ga is a β+ (beta) ray emitting radionuclide that allows precise imaging via PET.

Primary outcomes
Primary Objective
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of combined 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET and MRI targeted biopsy for the detection of PCa, using histopathological confirmation as the SOT.
Co-Primary Endpoint
To assess the sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET as adjunct to MRI or the detection of PCa, confirmed by predefined standard of truth (SOT).
