About this trial

This exploratory study conducted under the RDRC program studies the biodistribution of 99mTc-PSMA-I\&S in patients with prostate cancer who undergo pelvic lymph node dissection. Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radio-guided surgery uses the preoperative intravenous administration of a PSMA-ligand called PSMA-imaging and surgery (I\&S) labeled with the gamma-emitter radioisotope Technetium-99m (99mTc). Giving 99mTc-PSMA-I\&S may detect PSMA-expressing lymph nodes during surgery using a gamma probe and may help guide doctors to detect prostate cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Men with PCa (primary or recurrent disease)

Men who received a 68Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) for staging or restaging

Men with evidence of lymph nodes (LNs)-positive disease on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT

Men who are scheduled for pelvic LN dissection (PLND)

Disqualifiers

Patients who started any PCa treatment between study enrollment and surgery

Technically inaccessible nodal location

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The biodistribution of 99mTc-PSMA-I&S in normal and malignant tissues of patients with prostate cancer will be measured by average and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmean and SUVmax)

Time frame
time from injection to imaging (range: 1-46 hours)

Secondary outcomes

1

99mTc-PSMA-I&S accumulation within tumor lesions observed by in-vivo SPECT (SUVmean and SUVmax) will be correlated with ex-vivo gamma measurements (counts/minute) and level of PSMA expression quantified by histopathology (IHC score)

Time frame
time from injection to imaging (range: 1-46 hours)
2

The best time-point for 99mTc-PSMA-I&S radioguided surgery will be determined by the tumor-to-background uptake ratio (TBR) using the time-activity curve function

Time frame
time from injection to imaging (range: 1-46 hours)
