The purpose of this study is to provide access to Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET for evaluation of male veterans with newly diagnosed or biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. All patients will receive conventional imaging (MRI, CT, and/or a molecular imaging bone scan) as well as Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET in order to evaluate the utility of diagnostic testing in patients with positive PSA status, a comparison of results from conventional imaging and PSMA PET imagining will be performed.
Participants (male veterans) with initial diagnosis of prostate cancer or biochemically recurrent disease that consent to participate in the study will receive both conventional imaging (MRI, CT, and/or molecular imaging bone scan) as well as Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Following baseline assessment (Visit #1), Ga-68-PSMA-11 (3-7 mCi) will be administered as a single intravenous administration with PET/CT performed approximately 60 minutes after injection (Visit #2A). At approximately 120 minutes after injection of Ga-68-PSMA-11, the final evaluation for safety and tolerability will occur (Visit #2B)

Ga-68-PSMA-11 is produced via a lyophilized Sterile Cold kit. Ga-68 is eluted from a Ge-68/Ga-68 generator into a vial containing the premixed peptide and buffer. PSMA-11 radiolabeled with Ga-68 is administered to patients following verification of standard quality controls including activity measurement, pH, radiochemical purity, and visual inspection
Truman VA Hospital
Columbia, Missouri, United States
Concurrence with Conventional Imaging
Localized vs extra-pelvic recurrence will be determined for each patient based on Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET/CT and standard-of-care radiological imaging
Time frame: Up to 28 days
