This prospective study (GuidePath; NCT04838613) aimed to evaluate the imaging performance of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET radiotracer [18F]CTT1057 to detect PSMA-positive lesions in patients diagnosed predominantly at first BCR. Methods: Eligible patients had a PSA of 0.2 ng/mL or greater after radical prostatectomy or an increase in PSA level of at least 2 ng/mL above nadir after radiation therapy. Patients received 370 MBq of [18F]CTT1057 and 150 MBq of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and underwent PET/CT 90 min (±30 min) and 50-100 after injection, respectively. [18F]CTT1057 images were assessed by 3 independent readers blinded to all clinical information. Coprimary endpoints were region-level correct localization rate (CLR) and patient-level positive predictive value (PPV) of [18F]CTT1057 to detect PSMA-positive lesions and were compared with a hierarchical composite truth standard (CTS). The CTS comprised 3 levels of standard-of-truth procedures (in order of priority): histopathology (CTS level 1); imaging, including at least 1 contrast-enhanced CT scan and 1 [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan (CTS level 2); and a decrease in PSA level of 50% or greater 3 mo after radiation therapy (CTS level 3). For study success, the lower-bound 95% CI had to surpass 50% for region-level CLR and 20% for patient-level PPV for at least 2 of the 3 [18F]CTT1057 PET/CT readers. Results: Of 202 patients screened, 161 were evaluable for efficacy. Among these, 93.2% were experiencing their first BCR, 96.3% had received radical prostatectomy as initial definitive therapy, and baseline median PSA level was 0.4 ng/mL (interquartile range, 0.3-0.8 ng/mL). The imaging standard of truth was used for 159-160 patients (99%) across the 3 readers. Both coprimary endpoints were met. Region-level CLR ranged from 65.2% to 75.0% (lower-bound 95% CI, 53.4%-62.1%), and patient-level PPV ranged from 64.6% to 76.5% (lower-bound 95% CI, 51.8%-62.5%). Conclusion: [18F]CTT1057 met the predefined thresholds for region-level CLR and patient-level PPV in a clinically relevant patient cohort predominantly at first BCR with low PSA levels. [18F]CTT1057 is an accurate PSMA-targeted PET radiotracer for BCR detection.7 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/Assaigs clínicsImatges mèdiquesCàncer de pròstataClinical trialsImaging systems in medicineProstate cancerinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7606812025-09-25info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess40473464
