Ex-vivo Investigation of Beta Probe for Prostate Cancer Resection and Evaluation of PSMA-PET for Diagnosis of Intraprostatic Lesions

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
68Ga-PSMA is a radiopharmaceutical used with PET imaging for the detection of prostate cancer under a compassionate IND in patients who have presented with biochemical failure. In this study, the use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 will be extended to newly diagnosed patients with high risk prostate cancer. Patients enrolled to this study will undergo a 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT or PET/MRI scan for research purposes (in addition to the routine CT or MRI that is routinely done for staging), and a second 68Ga-PSMA-11 administration just prior to surgery for experimental ex-vivo beta probe testing of resected tissue. Immediately following resection of the prostate, the intact tissue will be scanned using a PET camera designed for animal research in order to record the 68Ga-PSMA-11 distribution in the isolated tissue at higher resolution than can be attained using whole-body PET imaging. The experimental beta probe will then be use to measure 68Ga-PSMA-11 counts of the resected tissue.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Primary Objective To assess beta ray detection of prostate cancer ex-vivo using experimental beta probe immediately after prostate cancer removal as determined by pathologist. Secondary Objectives Compare preoperative standard of care staging via CT or MRI to 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET (CT or MRI) findings. Compare preoperative 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET (CT or MRI) lesion measurements with postoperative high-resolution PET of ex-vivo tissue. To compare the findings of each of the 68Ga-PSMA-11 detection methods to the surgical observations and the clinical tissue histopathology findings. Exploratory Objective Correlation of beta probe measurements with preoperative 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET (CT or MRI) lesion measurements, postoperative PET/CT ex-vivo images, surgical observations, and pathology findings.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria To be considered eligible to participate in this study, a patient must meet all the inclusion criteria listed below: ≥ 18 years of age Must provide written informed consent Presence of high grade prostate cancer (Gleason grade group 1-5) on prostate biopsy or prostate cancer recurrence. Scheduled for prostate cancer removal Willing and able to lie still for approximately 30 minutes in an enclosed space for the 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET CT or MRI Exclusion Criteria Participation in another investigational trial involving research exposure to ionizing radiation concurrently or within 30 days.
