Brief Title: 68Ga-PSMA-Dual-Contrast PET/MRI or PET/CT for Early Detection of Liver Cancer
Official Title: Early Detection, Accurate Staging, and Biologic Characterization of HCC With Hybrid 68Ga-PSMA-Dual -Contrast PET/MRI and PET/CT Using Cyclotron-Produced 68Ga
Study ID: NCT04762888
Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT works in early detection of liver cancer. 68Gallium-PSMA is a radioactive tracer designed to circulate through the body and attach itself to the prostate- specific membrane antigen (PSMA) protein on liver cancer cells. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a scan that uses magnetic and radio waves to produce detailed structural information of the organs, tissues, and structures within the body. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging test that helps to measure the information about functions of tissues and organs within the body. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. Computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to create images of the bones and internal organs within your body. Combining a PET scan with an MRI or CT scan may help make the images easier to interpret. This trial may help determine if 68Ga- PSMA PET/MRI or PET/CT can improve upon the diagnosis and management of liver cancer in the future.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide (68Ga PSMA)-dual contrast PET/MRI for detection and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to compare it with standard-of-care (SOC) imaging. II. To identify the biologic correlates of biomarkers derived from 68Ga PSMA-dual contrast PET/MRI with histopathology features and PSMA immunostaining of HCC. OUTLINE: Patients receive 68Ga-PSMA intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes. Patients then undergo PET/MRI over 60 minutes or PET/CT over 30 minutes.
