68Ga-PSMA-617 PET/CT for PSMA-expressing Tumor: a Pragmatic Study

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

[68Ga]-PSMA-617: The intervention consists of an intravenous injection of the radiopharmaceutical \[68Ga\]-PSMA-617 and a physiological saline flush, followed 60-90 minutes later by a PET/CT image acquisition.

Study summary

This project aims to monitor the innocuity/safety profile of cyclotron-produced \[68Ga\]-PSMA-617 PET imaging in PSMA-expressing cancers. It is a single-site, pragmatic, non-randomized and open-label study, with no control group. Although prostate cancers constitute the usual recommended population for this PET modality, recent evidences suggest that most solid tumors express substantial amount of PSMA in their neovasculature. As such, all cancers (excluding non-solid cancers) will be eligible for \[68Ga\]-PSMA-617 PET imaging in this trial, for as long as their tumors express PSMA.

This study also aims to instigate the use of \[68Ga\]-PSMA-617 in the routine standard-of-care for detection and follow-up of eligible cancers. FInally, this project seeks to gather information about the impact on patient management this novel PET modality will have over the current standard-of-care.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (safety and tolerability) of 68Ga-PSMA-617 — 5 years
  Following the injection, the patient will be explicitly reminded of possible symptoms and undesirable events. The patient will be advised to inform the study personnel of the occurrence of any events, at the most opportune time. The patient will be instructed to call the local nuclear medicine study coordinator for any undesirable event that may occur for 48 hours after the PET/CT scan. Safety will be assessed by compiling all reported adverse events. Adverse events reported by patients or observed by the investigator will be recorded in the patients' CRFs, the AE database, and reported to the research manager.
