231 Background: Conventional imaging of advanced prostate cancer (computerized tomography and nuclear bone scintigraphy) is limited and indicates a need for a more specific molecular imaging probe. DCFBC is a radiolabeled PET agent that binds with high affinity to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is overexpressed in almost all prostate cancers and through whole-body non-invasive functional imaging, may provide new information on the expression of PSMA. We compare the uptake of DCFBC in bone with respect to NaF PET/CT in metastatic prostate cancer patients. DCFBC has added capability to detect soft tissue metastasis whereas NaF is confined to secondary effects of bone disease. Methods: Subjects with known or suspected prostate cancer metastasis underwent DCFBC PET/CT imaging performed at 1 hour and 2 hours after IV bolus injection of 8 mCi of DCFBC. Patients also underwent a whole body NaF PET/CT scan within 3 weeks of DCFBC PET/CT to assess for bone metastases. Patients received 3 mCi of NaF IV bolus and then were imaged 1hour post injection. PSA levels and antiandrogen therapy status were obtained at the time of DCFBC imaging. Results: Fifteen patients have been preliminarily analyzed. PSA ranged from < .01 to 4379 ng/mL. NaF identified bone lesions in 10 patients but matching focal DCFBC uptake was only seen in 3 patients. DCFBC additionally showed lymph node metastasis in 1of these 3 patient. There were 5 patients without focal abnormal bone uptake on NaF or DCFBC. In this group, 4 of 5 patients had focal DCFBC uptake in lymph nodes or soft tissue lesions. Ten patients were on some form of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). For those on ADT, 7 of 10 patients had positive findings on NaF, compared to 2 of 10 patients on DCFBC. Conclusions: DCFBC uptake in bone metastasis does not routinely correspond to focal NaF uptake which could be due to distinct mechanisms of tracer uptake and tumor biology. There is an inverse association in focal bone findings when comparing each tracer on antiandrogen therapy. Through whole-body non-invasive functional imaging and further study, DCFBC may prove useful in characterizing prostate cancer based on PSMA expression. Clinical trial information: NCT02190279.

220 Background: IAB2M is a novel anti-PSMA minibody (Mb) based on the humanized J591 antibody that targets the extracellular domain of PSMA. The Mb has been engineered to remove Fc-Rn interactions and reduce the molecular weight relative to J591. The result is faster blood pool clearance, for a more favorable imaging schedule, while retaining bivalent targeting of PSMA. We have previously reported on the pharmacokinetics, dosimetry, and lesion uptake of IAB2M(Pandit-Taskar et al, WMIS 2014). Here we report the correlation between imaging and pathology of biopsies of PSMA avid lesions. Methods: Following standard imaging (SI) of CT/MRI, bone scintigraphy (BS), and FDG PET, 5 mCi of 89Zr-Df-IAB2M was administered intravenously. Escalating minibody doses of 10, 20, and 50 mg were delivered, with cohort expansion at 10 and 20 mg. Whole body PET/CT scans were serially performed at various time points:1-2 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72-144 h post injection. Metastases identified on PET were confirmed, where possible, with bx’s in the following preference: concordant IAB2M and FDG positivity, IAB2M, and FDG mismatch, or a mismatch between SI and any PET. Results: 24 patients (pts) with metastatic prostate cancer were scanned (11 at 10, 7 at 20, and 6 at 50 mg Mb doses). A total of 15 bxs (7 soft tissue, 8 bone) were performed on 14 pts; the histopathologic correlation is summarized in the table below. 13 lesions were identified by IAB2M, 11 by FDG, and 14 by SI. Of these, 12/13 (92.3%), 10/11 (90.9%), 12/14 (85.7%) were biopsy positive for cancer, respectively. 2 bone lesions were not identified by IAB2M, evident on other imaging modalities, and were both neg by bx. Overall bx concordance (pos/pos, neg/neg) with imaging was: IAB2M 14/15 (93%) vs. BS/CT 13/15 (86%) vs. FDG 12/15 (80%). Conclusions: An ongoing analysis of IAB2M imaging showed a high concordance with pathologic findings in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT01923727.

TPS5093 Background: Early and accurate detection of recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer remains an unmet diagnostic need for patient management. While agents for positron emission tomography (PET), such as 11C-choline and 18F-fluciclovine, have emerged as options for imaging recurrent prostate cancer, these agents are not specific for the disease. 18F-DCFPyL is a novel, low-molecular weight, PET radiopharmaceutical that binds selectively to prostate-specific membrane antigen with high affinity. In prior studies, 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT has shown reliable diagnostic performance in detecting metastatic or recurrent prostate cancer (Rowe Mol Imaging Biol 2016 18:411-19; Gorin J Urol 2018 1999:126-32). Methods: CONDOR is a phase 3, multicenter, open-label study designed to assess the diagnostic performance and clinical impact of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT in men with suspected recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer. Approximately 200 patients are planned to be enrolled across 15 centers in the United States and Canada. Eligible patients ≥18 years of age must have histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma, have rising PSA after definitive therapy, and negative or equivocal conventional imaging. A single 9 mCi (333 MBq) dose of 18F-DCFPyL is administered, followed by whole body PET/CT scan 1 hour later. The primary objective is to assess the correct localization rate (percentage of patients with a one-to-one correspondence between localization of at least one lesion identified on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT and the composite truth standard, defined as either evaluable histopathology, informative correlative imaging, or PSA response after radiation therapy). Additional study objectives include safety and tolerability of 18F-DCFPyL, impact on intended treatment plans, detection rates and PPV of 18F-DCFPyL by region, and detection rates by baseline PSA. 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT results are centrally reviewed by independent readers blinded to all clinical and other imaging information. As of February 9, 2019, a total of 36 patients have been dosed in the study. Clinical trial information: NCT03739684.

Purpose: To study the diagnostic value of PET-CT with 68Ga-PSMA-11 in the diagnosis of a primary prostate cancer, preoperative staging, and the detection of recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: 28 patients aged 64.7 ± 8.74 years were included. 10 patients primary prostate cancer, and 18 patients with biochemical recurrence of the disease after radical treatment were examined. All patients underwent PET-CT with 68Ga-PSMA-11 according the whole body protocol. Interpretation of images was performed visually and quantitatively by calculation of SUL max. Results: High focal or diffuse 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake was found in prostate parenchyma in patients with primary prostate cancer. Additionally metastases in regional lymph nodes were diagnosed in 4 patients and bone metastases were found in one patient. The correlation between 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake level and Gleason index in the primary tumor (R Spearmen = 0.25, p = 0.57) was not observed. PET-positive results were obtained in 14 patients and PET-negative results in 4 patients with biochemical recurrence of PCa. The relationship between the frequency of PET-positive results and Gleason index was not revealed (R Spearmen = 0.2, p = 0.39). We found a weak but significant correlation between the frequency of PET-positive results and the prostate tumor stage according to the T category (R Spearmen = 0.49, p = 0.049). In patients with low values of PSA (less than 1.0 ng/ml) in 4 out of 9 cases, PET-negative results were obtained. In patients with PSA level more than 1.0 ng/ml PET-positive results were obtained in all cases. Conclusions: PET/CT with 68Ga-PSMA-11 allows to diagnose the primary prostate cancer, to establish the stage of the disease in categories N and M, and also to determine the localization and dissemination of the tumor in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. The relationship between 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake in primary tumor and Gleason index was not found. The probability of obtaining PET-positive results in cases of biochemical recurrence is affected by a PSA level above 1 ng/ml and a high stage of the disease according to the T category (T3-T4).

Abstract 18F-NaF positron emission tomography/computed tomography (fluoride PET/CT) is considered the most sensitive technique to detect bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa). 68Ga-PSMA-11 (PSMA) PET/CT is increasingly used for staging of PCa. This study primarily aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of fluoride PET/CT and Gallium based PSMA PET/CT in identifying bone metastasis followed by a comparison of PSMA PET/CT with contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) in identifying soft tissue lesions as a secondary objective. Methods: Twenty-eight PCa patients with high suspicion of disseminated disease following curative treatment were prospectively evaluated. PET/CT examinations using fluoride and PSMA were performed. All suspicious bone lesions were counted, and the tracer uptake was measured as standardized uptake values (SUV) for both tracers. In patients with multiple findings, ten bone lesions with highest SUVmax were selected from which identical lesions from both scans were considered for direct comparison of SUVmax. Soft tissue findings of local and lymph node lesions from CE-CT were compared with PSMA PET/CT. Results: Both scans were negative for bone lesions in 7 patients (25%). Of 699 lesions consistent with skeletal metastasis in 21 patients on fluoride PET/CT, PSMA PET/CT identified 579 lesions (83%). In 69 identical bone lesions fluoride PET/CT showed significantly higher uptake (mean SUVmax: 73.1±36.8) compared to PSMA PET/CT (34.5±31.4; p<0.001). Compared to CE-CT, PSMA PET/CT showed better diagnostic performance in locating local (96% vs 61%, p=0.004) and lymph node (94% vs 46%, p<0.001) metastasis. Conclusion: In this prospective comparative study PSMA PET/CT detected the majority of bone lesions that were positive on fluoride PET/CT. Further, this study indicates better diagnostic performance of PSMA PET/CT to locate soft tissue lesions compared to CE-CT.
