1. 
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
 
In the past several years, there has been an increasing volume of patients in the United States (US) who 
undergo open radical prostatectomy or robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate 
cancer. Based on several published retrospective reports [1, 2], there may be evidence of improved 
disease-free survival outcomes for this high-risk cohort compared to outcomes obtained with 
conventional radiotherapy approaches in conjunction with long-term androgen deprivation therapy. 
Concomitant with these practice trends in the US, there has been an increasing number of referrals for 
salvage radiotherapy due to the manifestation of detectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, which 
become apparent after surgery. The observation of an increased number of cases with relapsing disease 
is not surprising, as the risk of biochemical failure among patients with high-grade disease or other high-
risk factors treated with surgery alone have ranged from 40-80% in published reports [3-5]. While such 
patients are often subsequently treated with salvage radiotherapy, the likelihood of maintaining an 
undetectable PSA at two years after such treatment is often less than 40% in treated patients [6, 7]. As 
evidenced from the relatively low biochemical control rates for this cohort of patients, we believe that a 
significant percentage of patients do not benefit from salvage radiation therapy (SRT) using standard 
treatment techniques because of the presence of extra-pelvic micro-metastatic disease. The increasing 
number of high-risk patients who develop relapsing disease after surgery currently represents a serious 
clinical problem. Thus, superior imaging modality for advanced newly diagnosed prostate cancer is 
clearly needed.     
 
The primary barrier and challenge facing urologic oncologists is the accurate identification of the source 
of the rising PSA in the post-prostatectomy setting. Current imaging modalities do not perform with high 
sensitivity, as far as detecting local or regional recurrence with sensitivity or specificity. This concern is 
further compounded by the fact that several reports have demonstrated that SRT is more effective in 
achieving durable PSA suppression when treating patients with lower PSA baseline levels. Based on 
published guidelines [4 8], SRT is routinely administered to patients with the manifestation of a rising 
detectable PSA, which is often noted at levels of 0.1-0.5 ng/ml. Especially at these low PSA levels 
indicative of early relapse, standard imaging studies such as MRI, CT scans, and bone scans are often 
associated with a low yield of detecting positive imaging findings of < 10% and it is unclear if the more 
recent use of whole body MRIs provide any further information as to the sites of metastatic disease 
especially in the setting of early biochemical relapse. Clearly, improved and more sensitive imaging 
modalities are desperately needed to help identify patients with early disease relapse that is non-
metastatic, who would then be suitable candidates for local-regional SRT. 
 
We can hypothesize that the use of PSMA PET imaging will provide information about the site of 
recurrence that can be used to select patient for SRT and adjust SRT target volumes. It should be noted 
that especially for high-risk patients with biochemically relapsing disease, routine staging work-up would 
include bone scan and CT/MRI imaging. Nevertheless, the yield on these studies in the setting of early 
relapse disease has been low. 
 
Although choline or fluciclovine have improved our ability to detect recurrent and metastatic prostate 
cancer by interrogating the metabolome that is upregulated in prostate cancer. Specifically, fluciclovine 
(18F) uptake is related to increased amino acid transport that has been demonstrated to occur with 

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer 
12 
Serial Number 0002 
 
 
 
prostate cancer (14). Both C-11 choline and fluciclovine (18F) are now FDA approved and have become a 
de-facto standard of care. Yet, there are additional cell level imaging biomarkers that are also 
upregulated in prostate cancer and may be exploited for imaging. One of these promising new targets is 
prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) (15). PSMA is a Type 2 transmembrane glycoprotein of the 
M28 peptidase family and is significantly overexpressed on the cell surface of prostate cancer (16,17). 
PSMA therefore provides a promising target for PC-specific imaging and therapy. 68Ga-labelled PSMA 
ligand suggests that this novel tracer can detect PC relapses and metastases with high contrast by 
binding to the extracellular domain of PSMA, followed by internalization. A meta-analysis published in 
2016 (9) describing 18 studies with efficacy and safety, 5 of which, with histopathology correlation of the 
positive lesions, reported an improved sensitivity and specificity of PSMA radiolabeled with 68Ga (68Ga-
PSMA-HBED-CC or [68Ga]-PSMA-11) over choline. 
 
Evidence has demonstrated the superiority of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in staging of the high or 
intermediate risk prostate cancer patients (18, 19-22). In one study, 68Ga-PSMA-11  PET/CT showed 
considerable change in staging and management of prostate cancer patients compared to conventional 
staging (19). The findings of this study supported the replacement of the conventional Bone scan and CT 
by 68Ga-PSMA-11  PET/CT (19). In a prospective study, it was reported that 68Ga-PSMA-11  PET/CT 
changed the disease stage in 69% of the patients (18). It was concluded that 68Ga-PSMA-11  PET/CT can 
greatly impact the staging and management of prostate cancer patients outside the two classic 
indications (biochemical recurrence and pre-surgical staging)  (18). A recent review of 11 studies 
including 904 patients represented 68Ga-PSMA-11  PET/CT as a promising test for preoperative lymph 
node staging in intermediate/ high risk patients with prostate cancer (20, 21) . The results of the largest 
high-risk cohort for primary prostate cancer staging with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT have recently been 
published (21). In this study comprising 691 newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer patients, 68Ga-
PSMA-11  PET/CT detected the advanced disease in 35 percent of the patients (21). The specificity for 
lymph node metastasis detection on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in the pelvic lymph node dissection cohort 
has been reported to be very high (96.6%) (21). A study on 1253 men was conducted to assess the risk of 
metastatic disease on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT at prostate cancer diagnosis and the results supported the 
use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT to detect metastasis and staging (22).  Finally, A multicenter, two-arm, 
randomized study has been conducted and investigated whether 68Ga-PSMA-11  PET/CT has improved 
accuracy when compared to the conventional imaging (CT and bone scan) (23). Collective data from this 
study and others provide evidence that 68Ga-PSMA-11  PET/CT is better and can replace conventional 
imaging with bone scan and CT for staging patients with high-risk prostate cancer before surgery or 
radiotherapy. 
 
There is significant clinical need to provide high risk prostate cancer patients and those with biochemical 
relapse access to 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging, and because of the exceptional performance that this 
imaging has shown for prostate cancer staging and the detection of recurrent prostate cancer, it has 
clear potential to transform clinical management of patients with prostate cancer. While FDA recently 
approved 68Ga-PSMA-11 at UCSF and UCLA, it is not approved beyond these two institutions and is not 
currently commercially available. This generates the need for a study at the University of Colorado 
Anschutz for expanded access use. 
 
Similarly, the 18F PSMA binding ligand, 18F DCF-PyL (PYLARIFY® or piflufolastat F 18), has shown high 
accuracy in detection of prostate cancer in the above indications (24, 25) and recently received FDA 

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer

approval.  This compound, however, has not been yet made commercially available to patients by the 
sponsor (Lantheus), again emphasizing the need for this study for expanded access use.

PATIENT ASSESSMENTS 
4.2.1 
Symptom assessment pre- and post-imaging 
A directed review of symptoms (nausea, fatigue, pain) will be graded against CTCAE to provide baseline 
evaluation prior to injection and assess for adverse events post-injection. 
4.2.2 
Change in management surveys. 
Referring clinicians will be queried in providing information on how PSMA PET/CT results impacted the 
clinical management of patients. 
4.2.3 
Selection and Timing of Dose for Each Subject 
 
No specific patient preparation is required before 68Ga-PSMA-11 injection. The imaging agent (Ga-68 
PSMA-11) will be administered on an outpatient basis.  It will be administered a single time 
intravenously prior to the PET imaging.  The injected dose will be 100 to 300 MBq (~3-7 mCi)  of 68Ga-
PSMA-11. 
Following a waiting period of 60 minutes post 68Ga-PSMA-11 administration, patients will be scanned 
from mid thighs to base of the skull. Images will be acquired with patients in a supine position with their 
arms raised above their head. If patients cannot raise their arms above the head, the arms will be 
comfortably positioned and secured by the side of the patient. The goal is to administer this amount of 
the imaging probe labeled with 2.5 MBq of 68Ga per kg body weight with a minimum of 100 MBq (3mCi) 
and maximum of 300 MBq (7mCi) 68Ga per patient. The typical acquisition time per bed position will be 
3 min and the typical number of bed positions is 4. 
 
4.3

e) PET imaging protocol: Scan coverage will extend from mid-thigh to the base of the skull, starting 
from the mid-thighs to minimize urinary bladder radiotracer accumulation at the start of PET 
imaging.  At a minimum, 3 minutes per bed position will be used.  In certain circumstances, 
coverage may be extended to the toes.   
f) Patient monitoring: Patients will be monitored for adverse events during injection and uptake 
phase of the radiotracer. 
4.4 
IMAGE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION 
A board-certified nuclear medicine physician or nuclear radiologist on-site will interpret the images of 
the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan. Images will be corrected for attenuation and scatter and adjusted for 
system sensitivity and will provide parametric images in terms of standardized uptake values (SUV) (= 
MBq found/gm tissue / MBq injected/gm body mass).  
 
PET imaging can be combined with a low-dose CT for attenuation correction, a diagnostic CT (PET/CT), or 
MRI (PET/MR). Patients may undergo a diagnostic MRI of the prostate, other body parts or a whole-body 
MRI at the same imaging session as clinically indicated. Contrast material may be administered for the 
CT or MRI as clinically indicated.  
 
Imaging will be initiated at approximately 60 minutes (45-120 minutes) following administration of the 
PSMA radiopharmaceutical.  At the discretion of the investigator, an additional image of the pelvis may 
be obtained. 
 
Patients will receive a single dose of 68Ga-PSMA-11 and undergo a PET/CT or PET/MRI imaging study.   
At the time of interpretation of the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET study, the reviewing nuclear medicine physician 
and/or radiologist will compare the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET findings with the results from previously 
performed standard-of-care imaging for prostate cancer staging. The presence or absence of sites 
suspicious for recurrent prostate cancer will be documented. (e.g., prostate bed, lymph nodes, 
metastases to bone or other organs). 
 
4.5 
STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
4.5.1 
Primary Objective 
Determine the safety and tolerability of 68Ga-PSMA-11 using the following primary safety outcome 
measures: Incidence and nature of AEs and change in clinical laboratory results. Incidence and severity 
of AEs and adverse events will be estimated with 95% confidence intervals summarized with descriptive 
statistics.  
4.5.2 
Secondary Objective 
Determine rate of overall changes in management by comparing planned management strategy using 
conventional imaging with executed management strategy incorporating information from 68Ga-PSMA-
11 PET/CT, regardless of treatment modality.

Serial Number 0002 
 
 
 
Analysis: The rate of change in management based on the incorporation of68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT results 
will be expressed as the percentage of total patients imaged in which change in management occurred, 
regardless of treatment modality.  The rate of change in management will also be estimated within each 
group (initial staging, biochemical recurrence, and pre/post treatment). 95% confidence intervals (CIs) 
will be used to express precision of the estimates. 
4.5.3 
Sample Size and Power Estimate 
Since this protocol is for clinical access only, there is no need for sample size and power estimation 
calculations. It is anticipated that 100 patients will be imaged with primary diagnosis of prostate cancer 
or biochemically recurrent prostate cancer.  There will likely be a ramp up period in the number of 
patients who will be scanned.

INVESTIGATIONAL DRUG 
5.1 
GA68 PSMA-11 
5.1.1 
The PSMA-11 Sterile Cold Kit 
 
The final drug product is the 68Ga-PSMA-11 Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)- prepared 
using the Telix cold sterile kit labeled with the Gallium-68. The full description of the investigational drug 
is described in the CMC section of the initial submission packet. 
 
5.1.2 
Formulation and preparation 
 
The final dosage form of Ga68-PSMA-11 is an intravenous solution. Ga68-PSMA-11 will be aseptically 
prepared in the PharmaLogic radiopharmacy as described in the CMC section of the IND. Subject specific 
doses will be aseptically withdrawn from the vial of the sterile cold kit into a sterile syringe. The 
radioactive dose will be calibrated for the appropriate scan time with the use of a dose calibrator. The 
syringe containing the study drug will be placed in a syringe shield with the approved IND prescription 
label as in the initial IND submission and then delivered to the University of Colorado Anschutz 
Outpatient Center for PET/CT imaging or the University of Colorado Research Imaging Center (CURIC) for 
PET / MRI imaging. 
 
5.1.3 
Administration  
Ga68-PSMA-11 will be administered intravenously with a dose of 2.5 MBq of 68Ga per kg body weight 
with a minimum of 100 MBq (3mCi) and maximum of 300 MBq (7mCi) 68Ga per patient.

ADVERSE EVENTS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 
6.1 
ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY 
Pharmacologic effects of 68Ga-PSMA-11 
68Ga-PSMA-11 has been injected for PET imaging in more than 2,616 published patients [11] and the 
safety profile has been well established.  Currently, no serious adverse events related to drug have been 
reported. This is expected because the mass of compound is minimal, less than 25 micrograms. There is 
a potential small risk of infection at the site of injection. 
 
Safety evaluation  
AEs will be collected during injection and uptake phase (50-100 min) of Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT scan.  All 
safety events will be recorded up to 120 min post injection. 
 
Analyses will be performed for all patients receiving Ga-68 PSMA-11.  The study will use the CTCAE v5.0 
for reporting of adverse events. 
 
Radiation exposure from PSMA PET/CT imaging 
As part of this scan there is radiation delivered from the 68Ga and from the low dose CT scan that are 
performed as part of the PET/CT for attenuation correction and co-registration. Although any exposure 
to ionizing radiation has the potential to cause some harm to tissue, the radiation exposures in this 
study are comparable to the low-level exposures associated with common diagnostic procedures such as 
CT scanning. There remains a low theoretical risk of developing a cancer at some point later in life as a 
result of the radiation exposure received in this study. This risk is much smaller than the clinical risks 
posed by the patient’s current cancer or the salvage radiation therapy the patient would be receiving. 
Participants should not father a baby while on this study. Acceptable birth control methods include 
abstinence, double barrier method, surgically sterilized patient or partner.  
 
In a phase 1 clinical trial (EudraCT: 2016-004971-32) conducted with the PSMA-11 sterile cold kit as 
Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP), physiological uptake of [68Ga] PSMA-11 was observed in 
kidneys, urinary bladder, salivary glands and small intestines. The kidneys were the organs receiving the 
highest absorbed dose. Additional organs with higher dose were the bladder, small intestines, and 
salivary glands. Estimated radiation absorbed doses in selected organs and tissues are presented in the 
Table 1 below.  
 
Table 1 summarizes the expected radiation exposure for the planned study and is consistent with 
biodistribution data published by Afshar-Oromieh et al. [12] and assuming a voiding interval of 2 h, i.e., 
the patient is asked to void the bladder after completion of the PSMA PET/CT study. 68Ga has a short 
half-life of 68 minutes.

Monitoring and Oversight  
The sponsor investigator will be responsible for monitoring the trial per the trial monitoring plan, in 
addition to overseeing the safety and efficacy of the trial including any specimens collected, executing 
the data and safety monitoring (DSM) plan, and complying with all reporting requirements to local and 
federal authorities. This oversight will be accomplished through additional oversight from the Data and 
Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) at the University of Colorado Cancer Center (CU Cancer Center). 
The DSMC is responsible for ensuring data quality and study participant safety for all clinical studies at 
the CU Cancer Center, which is the coordinating institution of this trial. A summary of the DSMC’s 
activities is as follows:  

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer 
20 
Serial Number 0002 
 
 
 
• Conduct of internal audits  
• Ongoing review of all serious adverse events (SAEs) and unanticipated problems (UAPs)  
• May submit recommendations for corrective actions to the CU Cancer Center’s Executive Committee  
Per the CU Cancer Center Institutional DSM Plan, SAEs and UAPs are reported to the DSMC, IRB and the 
sponsor investigator per protocol. All SAEs and UAPs are to be reported to the DSMC within 7 (for fatal 
or life-threatening events) or 15 (non-life-threatening events) calendar days of the sponsor investigator 
receiving notification of the occurrence. 
Each subject’s treatment outcomes will be discussed by the site PI and appropriate staff at regularly 
scheduled meetings. Data regarding number of subjects, significant toxicities, dose modifications, and 
treatment responses will be discussed and documented in the meeting’s minutes.  
The sponsor investigator will provide a DSM progress report to the CU Cancer Center DSMC on a 
recurring basis (either every six or twelve months based on DSMC vote). The DSM report will include a 
protocol summary, current enrollment numbers, summary of toxicity data to include specific SAEs, UAPs 
and AEs, any dose modifications, all protocol deviations, and protocol amendments. The DSM progress 
report submitted to the DSMC will also include, if applicable, the results of any efficacy data analysis 
conducted. Results and recommendations from the review of this progress report by the DSMC will then 
be provided to the sponsor investigator in a DSMC review letter. The sponsor investigator is then 
responsible for ensuring this letter is submitted to the site’s IRB of record at the time of IRB continuing 
review.  
6.2                DEFINITIONS 
6.2.1  
ADVERSE EVENTS 
Any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a 
pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. 
An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, 
whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. 
 
For this study, AEs are regarded as 'treatment emergent', if they occur after treatment has been 
administered. 
 
Pre-planned or elective surgeries or therapies should be recorded in the patient’s source documents but 
are not to be considered AEs unless there was any change to the patient’s medical condition during the 
AE collection period. 
 
Collection of AEs will occur upon signature of consent.   
6.2.2  
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
An adverse event is considered serious if it results in ANY of the following outcomes: 
 

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer 
21 
Serial Number 0002 
 
 
 
• 
Death 
• 
A life-threatening adverse event 
• 
An adverse event that results in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing 
hospitalization 
• 
A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal 
life functions 
• 
A congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• 
Important Medical Events (IME) that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon medical judgment, they may 
jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
one of the outcomes listed in this definition. 
 
Note: Hospital admission for a planned procedure/disease treatment is not considered an SAE.  SAE 
reporting is required as soon as the participant signs consent.  
6.2.3  
EXPEDITED REPORTING 
Reporting to the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee 
If a death occurs during the treatment phase of the study or within 30 days after the last administration 
of the study drug(s) and it is determined to be related either to the study drug(s) or to a study 
procedure, the Investigator or his/her designee must notify the DSMC Chair (or qualified alternate) 
within 1 business day of knowledge of the event.  The contact may be by phone or e-mail. 
Expedited Reporting to the Food and Drug Administration 
If the study is being conducted under an IND, the Sponsor-Investigator is responsible for determining 
whether or not the suspected adverse reaction meets the criteria for expedited reporting in accordance 
with Federal Regulations (21 CFR §312.32).  
SAE reporting will comply with University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center SOPs and with local and 
federal regulations.  
6.2.4  
EVALUATION OF ADVERSE EVENTS 
Seriousness 
The seriousness must be determined for each AE, according to the criteria given in Section 7.3.3. 
Intensity/Severity 
The intensity of an AE is classified according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0, taking into account the possible 
range of the intensity of the event: 
 
• 
NCI-CTCAE Grade 1 (mild) 
• 
NCI-CTCAE Grade 2 (moderate) 
• 
NCI-CTCAE Grade 3 (severe) 
• 
NCI-CTCAE Grade 4 (life-threatening) 
• 
NCI-CTCAE Grade 5 (fatal) 

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer 
22 
Serial Number 0002 
 
 
 
Study drug action 
AEs requiring any action, i.e., medication or therapy for treatment, should be treated according to 
recognised standards of medical care to protect the health and well-being of the patient. 
 
Any potential study drug action to resolve the AEs is to be documented as follows: 
• 
Drug withdrawn 
• 
Dose reduced 
• 
Dose not changed 
• 
Other action (stopped: definitely, temporarily with exact dates) 
 
Any potential study drug action to resolve the AEs is to be documented in free text in the CRF, e.g., 'dose 
interrupted', 'dose interrupted and re-started'. 
6.2.5  
RELATIONSHIP TO STUDY INTERVENTION  
The possible causal relationship between the AE and the administration of the study drug is classified 
according to the following question: 
 
“Is there a reasonable likelihood that the event was caused by the study drug?” 
 
Possible answers are: 
• 
Related (plausible time relationship to the administration of IMP/RP. No plausible explanation 
by underlying/concurrent disease or other drugs/events),  
• 
Possible (plausible time relationship to the administration of IMP/RP, but the AE can be also 
plausibly explained by the underlying/concurrent disease or other medicinal products / events),  
• 
Unlikely (unlikely temporal relationship to the administration of IMP/RP. Other medicinal 
products, events, and the underlying/concurrent disease provide a plausible explanation)  
• 
Not related (clear evidence that the AE is not connected to the IMP/RP administration) 
• 
Not assessable (no evaluation possible based on present data, additional clarification and 
follow-up necessary) 
Causal relationship to study conduct 
The possible causal relationship between the AE and any study-conduct-related procedures and 
activities required by the protocol is classified according to the following question: 
 
 “Is there a reasonable likelihood that the event was caused by the study conduct?” 
 
Possible answers are “related”, “not related”, “not assessable”. 
6.2.6  
EXPECTEDNESS 
 
Expected Conduct-related AEs 
The use of an indwelling cannula for blood sampling and administration of study drug may be 
accompanied by mild bruising and also, in rare cases, by transient inflammation of the vessel wall. After 

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer 
23 
Serial Number 0002 
 
 
 
initial irritation, the presence of an indwelling cannula is usually painless and hardly noticeable. The 
same applies to single vein punctures for blood sampling. 
 
Patients may also experience discomfort from lying in the camera, e.g., back pain. 
 
Expected Adverse Drug Reactions 
The definition below follows ICH-GCP (see also ICH Guideline for Clinical Safety Data Management: 
Definitions and Standards for Expedited Reporting): 
Adverse drug reaction (ADR) 
In the pre-approval clinical experience with a new medicinal product or its new usages, particularly as 
the therapeutic dose(s) may not be established, all noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal 
product related to any dose should be considered as ADR. The phrase 'responses to a medicinal product' 
means that a causal relationship between a medicinal product and an AE is at least a reasonable 
possibility, i.e., the relationship cannot be ruled out.  
Unexpected Adverse Drug Reactions 
An unexpected adverse drug reaction is defined as any adverse drug experience, the nature, specificity 
or severity of which is not consistent with the applicable product information (e.g., investigator’s 
brochure for an unapproved investigational product or Summary of Product Characteristics for an 
approved product). “Unexpected” as used in this definition refers to an adverse drug experience that 
has not been previously observed and included in the product information, rather than from the 
perspective of such experience not being anticipated from the pharmacological properties of the 
investigational product. 
6.2.7  
DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE 
Accurate, consistent, and reliable data will be ensured through the use of standard practices and 
procedures. These are described in the following sections. 
6.2.8  
DATA COLLECTION, MONITORING, AND TRANSFER 
 
Data collection is the responsibility of the clinical trial staff at the site under the supervision of the site 
investigator. The investigator is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, legibility, and 
timeliness of the data reported. 
 
All source documents should be completed in a neat, legible manner to ensure accurate interpretation 
of data.   
 
Hardcopies of the study visit worksheets will be provided for use as source document worksheets for 
recording data for each participant enrolled in the study.  Data recorded in the electronic case report 
form (eCRF) derived from source documents should be consistent with the data recorded on the source 
documents.  
 
Clinical data including adverse events, concomitant medications, and expected adverse reactions data 
and clinical laboratory data will be entered into the hospital electronic medical record system (EPIC).  

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer 
24 
Serial Number 0002 
 
 
 
 
The data system includes password protection and internal quality checks, such as automatic range 
checks, to identify data that appear inconsistent, incomplete, or inaccurate. Clinical data will be entered 
directly from the source documents. 
6.2.9  
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
 
The Sponsor will perform a clinical review to define the level of resolution required of each data field, 
with major safety fields (e.g., AE) given the highest importance.  
 
The database will be 100% verified against the CRFs. A clinical review will be performed at Sponsor to 
identify those minor issues that could remain unresolved. 
 
Serious AE data in the Sponsor’ clinical safety database will be reconciled to the original clinical 
management database. 
6.2.10  
SAFETY ANALYSIS 
 
All subjects who receive study drug will be analyzed for safety. Safety-related data will be summarized 
using tables and graphical presentations, subject listings and complete narrative descriptions of SAEs. 
Results of the safety-related data analysis will be expressed as medians (or means) broken down into 
age, sex, racial subgroups, and defined by disease severity and concurrent illness (if reported). 
6.2.11  
EXTENT OF EXPOSURE 
 
A total of 100 patients are planned for exposure to a single dose of 68Ga-PSMA-11 at 100MBq (3mCi)-
300 MBq (7mCi). 
 
7.

Study Title: 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in Patients with Prostate Cancer
You are being asked to be in a research study.  This form provides you with information about 
the study. A member of the research team will describe this study to you and answer all of your 
questions. Please read the information below and ask questions about anything you don’t 
understand before deciding whether or not to take part. 
Why is this study being done?
This study is being performed to provide clinical access to the prostate cancer imaging agent 
68Ga-PSMA-11 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with prostate 
cancer at the University of Colorado.  
You are being asked to be in this research study because this prostate cancer imaging agent, 
68Ga-PSMA-11, is either currently not available for clinical use, or is not yet approved by the 
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
You will be monitored by our routine procedures to ensure your safety.  
Other people in this study
Up to 100 patients from your area will participate in the study.  Several thousand patients of with 
prostate cancer have already received this 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging agent with no reported 
serious adverse events.  
What happens if I join this study?
If you join the study, you will undergo a 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET / CT or 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/ MRI 
study depending upon your specific situation.  In general, if your doctor suspects any cancer in 
your prostate gland, your doctor may recommend a PET / MRI.  If have previously been treated 
by removal of your prostate gland your doctor may recommend a PET / CT scan.  
The study will last approximately 2 hours or less.  An intravenous catheter will be inserted, 3-
7mCi of 68Ga-PSMA-11 will be administered through the catheter over less than 30 seconds, 
and then a waiting period (uptake time) of approximately 60 minutes will occur before scanning. 
Prior to scanning, you will be asked to empty your bladder, and then the scan will be performed 
which will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
We will observe you during this entire period, and then the study will be finished.

What are the discomforts and risks of the study procedures?
Risks of Insertion of the intravenous catheter. In this study we will insert an intravenous 
catheter, connected to a plastic tube, into a vein in your arm.  We will use the tube to administer 
the 68Ga-PSMA-11.  You will feel some pain when we first insert the tube into your vein.  You 
may have some redness, swelling, or bruising where the tube goes under your skin.  In some 
cases, this type of tube can cause an infection where it goes under the skin.  In rare cases, it 
can cause a blood clot in the vein.  
Risks of Computed Tomography (CT). As part of this study, we may perform a CT scan of your 
chest, abdomen, pelvic area.  CT is a way of taking detailed pictures inside your body by using X-
rays.  X-rays are a type of radiation. You get some radiation from your environment.  You get 
radiation from bricks and concrete, from some foods, and from radon gas, which is an invisible gas 
that seeps out of the ground.  The amount of radiation that this CT scan will deliver to your body 
(give you) is about the same as you would get from living in your environment for 5 years.
This is an estimate.  The amount of radiation you get could be higher or lower, depending on the 
machine, the power setting, and your body weight.  Exposure to radiation at high levels increases a 
risk of developing cancer.  There is no evidence of such risks for diagnostic procedures. 
The risk of this procedure is not equal for everyone.  The risk is much lower for people over 
the age of 30.
Risks of Having an MRI
In this study we may perform Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) of your head, chest, abdomen, 
pelvic area and extremities, if indicated.  The MRI machine uses powerful magnetic waves to take 
pictures inside the body.  The waves themselves are not harmful, but they can cause metal to heat 
up and electronics to stop working.  
You should NOT have an MRI if you have metal or electronic devices inside your body.  
Heart pacemakers and insulin pumps are examples of electronic devices.
The MRI machine is a small round tube.  It might make you uncomfortable if you do not like tight 
spaces.  
The most common side effect of having an MRI is flashing lights in the eyes.  This is caused by the 
magnetic waves and is not harmful.  Some people also experience warmth and reddening of the 
skin.  This usually goes away after a few minutes. 
MRIs may be done with or without contrast. The contrast solution may cause an allergic 
reaction. Severe allergic reactions can be life threatening. MRI contrast solution can cause 
kidney damage, especially if you are diabetic, dehydrated (lost body water) or elderly.  
Risks of 68Ga-PSMA-11 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) 
A small amount ( 3 - 7 m C i )  of radioactive substance (radiotracer) 68Ga PSMA,-11 will be 
injected into your bloodstream. The PET scanner works by detecting the radioactive substance 
inside the body and makes images that show where the radiation is concentrated.
Everyone is exposed to radiation everyday of their lives (background radiation).  The doses that 
are used in a PET scan carry a possible risk of causing cancer at a later date (as does your 
exposure to background radiation), but the risk is very low.  The amount of radiation that this 
68Ga PSMA-11 radiotracer will deliver to your body (give you) is about the same as you would 
get from living in your environment for 3 years.

You may feel some claustrophobia, discomfort or anxiety when lying inside the scanner. Possible 
side effects of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET may include allergic reactions, itching, and rash.
These scans may be taken in combination with a CT or MRI scan.  Please see CT and MRI risks 
above.
There is a risk that people outside of the research team will see your research information.  We 
will do all that we can to protect your information, but it can not be guaranteed.
What are the possible benefits of the study?
This study is designed to provide 68Ga PSMA-11 PET imaging information for patients with 
prostate cancer.  
The results of the 68Ga PSMA-11 PET study will be available to your doctors to use for your 
care. 
Are there alternative treatments? 
Currently, there are no alternative 68Ga PSMA-11 PET imaging agents available to detect 
prostate cancer at the University of Colorado.  Another method to produce 68Ga PSMA-11 for 
PET has been shown to be safe and effective for identifying prostate cancer and has been 
approved by the FDA.  Due to differences in manufacturing requirements, however, the 
currently approved formulation is not available for patients at the University of Colorado.  The 
proposed method to produce 68Ga PSMA-11 in this study is currently under review by the FDA.  
You should talk to your doctor about your choices. Make sure you understand all of your 
choices before you decide to take part in this study. You may leave this study and still have 
these other choices available to you. 
Who is paying for this study? 
Currently, PET imaging for prostate cancer detection is the standard of care, and is paid for by 
Medicare for patients over the age of 65, and by most insurance carriers.  
The sponsor will only pay for procedures not considered standard of care, as detailed below.
The cost for the current 68Ga PSMA-11 PET radiopharmaceutical product, however, may not 
be paid for due to its current status under review by the FDA, or by Medicare payment 
determination.  The cost of the radiotracer under this research protocol is being sponsored by  
the University of Colorado Health System.
Will I be paid for being in the study?  
You will not be paid to be in the study. 
Will I have to pay for anything?
No, participants will not be required to pay for this study.
