Brief Summary:
This phase 2-3 trial studies the utility of 68-gallium (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen 11 (PSMA-11) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) to find tumors in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing resection surgery for prostate cancer that is prognostically expected to spread quickly (intermediate-risk) or is likely to come back or spread (high-risk). Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer, and reveal out how far the disease has spread. Radioactive drugs, such as 68Ga-PSMA-11, may bind to tumor cells that have specific receptors, and may allow doctors to see smaller tumors than the standard of care contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or MRI scan.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
1. To evaluate 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI for detection of tumor metastases in patients with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer scheduled to undergo prostatectomy with lymph node dissection.
2. To assess sensitivity (positive predictive value) and specificity (negative predictive value) of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI for the detection of regional nodal metastases compared to pathology at radical prostatectomy.
OUTLINE:
Participants will receive 68Ga-PSMA-11 intravenously (IV). Patients then undergo PET/MRI after 45 minutes of administration of radiopharmaceutical injection.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24 to 48 hours.
