Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT Screening Prior to 177Lu-PSMA-617 Therapy for Patients With Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase III study provides access to 68Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging for patients with castrate-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) being considered for177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. T PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of this tracer. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body. Combining a PET scan with a CT scan can help make the images easier to interpret. The 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan is done with a very small amount of radioactive tracer call 68- gallium PSMA-11. In patients that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) appears in large amounts on the surface of the cancerous cells. The radioactive imaging agent (68Ga-PSMA-11) has been designed to circulate through the body and attach itself to the PSMA protein on prostate cancer cells. A PET/CT scan is then used to detect the location of prostate cancer lesions. By gaining access to 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans, patients may be safely screened for 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy in the treatment of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To overcome a clinical access issue that would otherwise block patients from reimbursement of a new cancer therapy, and therefore block or significantly delay their care. OUTLINE: Patients receive gallium Ga 68 gozetotide intravenously (IV) and then undergo a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan throughout the trial.
