2 Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys-(Ahx)- [68Ga(HBED-CC)] Prostate specific membrane antigen 35 pub-med publications 15 clinical 3 retrospective larger trials 1 prospective trial

3 PROSTATE SPECIFIC MEMBRANE ANTIGEN: Cell surface enzyme folate hydrolase 750-amino acid type II transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in normal human prostate epithelium. PSMA is over-expressed (1000 x) in virtually all prostate cancers. Its expression is increased in poorly differentiated, metastatic and castrationresistant carcinomas.

4 Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys-(Ahx)-[68Ga(HBED-CC)] Binds to hydrophilic pocket of PSMA ligand. Following binding to the PSMA ligand, the complex is rapidly internalised via clarithyromycin coated pits. Does not appear to internally concentrate within the cell over time. Eder, M.; Wangler, B.; Knackmuss, S.; LeGall, F.; Little, M.; Haberkorn, U.; Mier, W.; Eisenhut, M.

11 Study Aims Comparison of efficacy of F18 Fluormethylcholine and Ga68 HBED-PSMA to identify sites of disease. Patient based Lesion based Assess value of Ga68 PSMA in a low PSA patient cohort. Diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity)

12 38 men recruited with rising PSA post radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy (or both) No identified site of recurrence on conventional imaging. F18 Fluoromethyl-choline and Ga68 PSMA PET CT undertaken within 3 weeks. Diagnostic contrast CT read separately. Scans double read by 2 clinically blinded readers. Prospective management impact questionnaires.

28 MANAGEMENT CHANGES PET/CT resulted in a change from PSA surveillance to prostate bed radiotherapy in 5/24 (21%). From planned prostate bed RTX or surveillance to stereotactic radio-surgery (SRS) of oligo-metastatic disease (extraprostatic) in 12/24 (50%). From planned targeted therapy to systemic treatment for poly-metastatic disease in 7/24 (29%).

29 HISTOPATHOLOGY 11 patients currently biopsied. PSMA true positive in 10/10 biopsied lesions Choline false positive in 1/2, true positive 1/2. PSMA true negative in 1/1 prostate bed

30 SUMMARY PSMA detected a higher number of patients with prostate cancer recurrence than Choline (p < 0.001) PSMA detected twice the number of lesions as Choline ( 60 vs 32 lesions. p < 0.001) PSMA changed management in 63% of men imaged in the rising PSA post therapy cohort. No False positive biopsy results (yet).
