Diagnostic Performance of [18F]PSMA-1007 in the Context of Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer

Overview

Following numerous retrospective studies and Phase-3-Studies with promising results, \[18F\]PSMA-1007 has been approved by european authorities. Therefore, it is a growing deployment of this diagnostic method anticipated. This study aims to investigate the diagnostic performance and clinical impact in a real-world-evidence in the context of regular clinical care. The evidence generated by this approach is supposed to assist in optimizing the management of prostate cancer patients.

The advent of PSMA diagnostics and therapy has constituted a paradigm shift in the management of prostate cancer, supplanting other clinical and radiological diagnostic techniques. Consequently, \[18F\]PSMA-1007 (Radelumin®) has been approved in several EU countries, most recently in Germany in 2024, for use in primary staging of high-risk prostate cancer and re-staging in the context of biochemical recurrence (BCR). This may be regarded as a landmark in the management of prostate cancer, with the potential to markedly enhance the uptake of PSMA-PET diagnostics in the coming years. The intention is to generate evidence-based data in everyday clinical practice with this so-called Real-World-Evidence (RWE) study. The planned study will facilitate a more detailed analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of Radelumin® in everyday clinical practice. This will involve dedicated examinations of certain subgroups and the prospective generation of a complete, high-quality database for future use of artificial intelligence (AI).
