Official title
ESCAPE - Evaluation of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Active Surveillance for Prostate CancEr
About this study
This is a prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized single-arm study assessing the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA-PET CT (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) in determining the absence of clinically significant prostate cancer in patients on active surveillance (AS).The trial will enroll 200 subjects for low and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients per NCCN guidelines who have elected to pursue active surveillance.
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Males aged ≥ 18.
* Histologically confirmed low or favorable intermediate risk prostate cancer per NCCN guidelines. (Note: Grade Group 2 must have 20% or less involvement in every core and no presence of cribiform or intraductal carcinoma).
* PSA \< 20 ng/ml.
* Ability to undergo yearly PSMA-PET CT.
* Ability to undergo yearly prostate mpMRI.
* Ability to undergo transrectal or transperineal template and fusion prostate biopsy.
* Willingness to undergo yearly prostate biopsies.
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of prior treatment for prostate cancer.
* History of systemic therapy for prostate cancer.
* Inability to undergo transrectal ultrasound.
* Life expectancy less than 10 years.
* Not interested in pursuing active surveillance.
* Initial diagnosis of prostate cancer greater than 15 months.
