Background:
Prostate Cancer Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE) criteria have been
defined for standardized reporting of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)
Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) whole-body stage of prostate cancer [Seifert et al.
European Urology 2023]. PSMA PET disease extent by PROMISE has been associated with relevant
oncologic outcome, specifically overall survival in patients with various stages of prostate
cancer.
Need:
Improved risk assessment across various stages of prostate cancer is urgently needed for
guidance of clinical management and prospective study design.
Aim:
To assess the prognostic value of PSMA PET, summarized by PROMISE [Seifert et al
EurUrol23]
To compare the prognostic value of PSMA PET with established clinical prognostic scores
in patients with prostate cancer at various disease stages
To assess the association of PSMA PET stage with management, laboratory findings,
histopathology findings or patient characteristics
Eligibility:
Adult patients with biopsy/histo proven prostate cancer who underwent PSMA PET for staging at
various stages will be included consecutively. All stages will be included: Primary (Initial
Staging), BCR (Biochemical Recurrence), nmCRPC (conventional non-metastatic
castration-resistant prostate cancer), mHSPC (conventional metastatic hormone-sensitive
prostate cancer), mCRPC (conventional metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer) and
advanced mCRPC.
Inclusion:
Adult patients with
histopathology proven prostate cancer who
underwent PSMA PET (any type)
for staging or re-staging at any stage and who
have at least 3-year overall survival follow-up data available will be included
consecutively.
Exclusion:
Statistical considerations:
This is an open registry study. The more data sets are contributed, the more precisely the
diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of PSMA PET can be determined for the overall cohort
and subgroups.
Prognostic value of variables from PSMA-PET (PROMISE parameters, PSMA-Volume, Standardized
Uptake Value (SUV) among other) and patient characteristics will be assessed by regression
analysis and correlation analysis. Hazard ratio (95% Confidence Interval) and Concordance
Index for the prediction of primary and secondary endpoints will be calculated. Primary
endpoint is the association with overall survival. Secondary endpoints are the association
with progression-free survival, management and other characteristics.
Central Database:
Data will be stored centrally in a RedCap Database with 3-step authentication at the sponsor
site.
Recurring Data Entry:
Data entry will be conducted repeatedly at about 3 to 6 month intervals.
