Study of 18F-Thretide PET/CT in Patients With Prostate Cancer

First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University49 enrolled

Overview

This study evaluates the diagnostic performance and safety of 18F-Thretide PET/CT in patients with biopsy proven prostate cancer who has no any form of therapy against prostate caner or suspected recurrence of prostate cancer who have negative or equivocal findings on conventional imaging.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is overexpressed in most cases of prostate cancer and is potentially associated with metastasis and progression of prostate cancer. Compared with 68Ga, the PET radionuclide 18F exhibits several advantages. 18F-Thretide (18F-labeled PSMA ligand) has been studied for preclinical evaluation and Pilot Clinical Study. This study evaluates the diagnostic performance and safety of 18F-Thretide PET/CT in patients with with biopsy proven prostate cancer who has no any form of therapy against prostate caner or suspected recurrence of prostate cancer who have negative or equivocal findings on conventional imaging.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

detection rate at the patient level

The Difference in detection rate of 18F-Thretide PET/CT at the patient level compared with MRI, CT, or bone scanning. Within 60 days following 18F-Thretide PET/CT imaging, either MRI, CT, or bone scanning will be performed.
