SPOTLIGHT (NCT04186845) evaluated diagnostic performance and safety of radiohybrid F-rhPSMA-7.3, a novel high-affinity positron emission tomography radiopharmaceutical.
Men with prostate cancer recurrence underwent positron emission tomography/CT 50-70 minutes after intravenous administration of 296±20% MBq F-rhPSMA-7.3. To assess the coprimary end points (verified detection rate and combined region-level positive predictive value), 3 blinded, independent central readers evaluated the scans. Verified detection rate is equivalent to the overall detection rate × positive predictive value. Standard of truth was established for each patient using histopathology or confirmatory imaging. Statistical thresholds (lower bounds of the confidence intervals) of 36.5% and 62.5% were prespecified for verified detection rate and combined region-level positive predictive value, respectively Additional end points included detection rate, verified detection rate, and combined region-level positive predictive value in patients with histopathology standard of truth, and safety.
The overall F-rhPSMA-7.3 detection rate among all 389 patients with an evaluable scan was 83% (majority read). Among the 366 patients (median prostate-specific antigen 1.27 ng/mL) for whom a standard of truth (histopathology [n=69]/confirmatory imaging only [n=297]) was available, verified detection rate ranged from 51% (95% CI 46.1-56.6) to 54% (95% CI 48.8-59.3), exceeding the prespecified statistical threshold. Combined region-level positive predictive value ranged from 46% (95% CI 42.0-50.3) to 60% (95% CI 55.1-65.5) across the readers, not meeting the threshold. In the subset of patients with histopathology standard of truth, the verified detection rate and combined region-level positive predictive value were both above the prespecified thresholds (majority read, 81% [95% CI 69.9-89.6] and 72% [95% CI 62.5-80.7], respectively). No significant safety concerns were identified.
F-rhPSMA-7.3 offers a clinically meaningful verified detection rate for localization of recurrent prostate cancer. Despite missing the coprimary end point of combined region-level positive predictive value, the totality of the data support the potential clinical utility of F-rhPSMA-7.3.
SPOTLIGHT(NCT04186845)评估了新型高亲和力正电子发射断层扫描放射性药物放射性杂交体F-rhPSMA-7.3的诊断性能和安全性。
前列腺癌复发的男性患者在静脉注射296±20% MBq F-rhPSMA-7.3后50 - 70分钟接受正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描。为评估共同主要终点(验证检测率和联合区域水平阳性预测值),3名盲法、独立的中心阅片者对扫描结果进行评估。验证检测率相当于总体检测率×阳性预测值。使用组织病理学或确证性影像学为每位患者确立真值标准。验证检测率和联合区域水平阳性预测值的统计阈值(置信区间下限)分别预先设定为36.5%和62.5%。其他终点包括具有组织病理学真值标准的患者的检测率、验证检测率和联合区域水平阳性预测值,以及安全性。
在所有389例可评估扫描的患者中,F-rhPSMA-7.3的总体检测率为83%(多数阅片结果)。在366例患者(前列腺特异性抗原中位数为1.27 ng/mL)中,有真值标准(组织病理学[n = 69]/仅确证性影像学[n = 297]),验证检测率在51%(95% CI 46.1 - 56.6)至54%(95% CI 48.8 - 59.3)之间,超过预先设定的统计阈值。阅片者间联合区域水平阳性预测值在46%(95% CI 42.0 - 50.3)至60%(95% CI 55.1 - 65.5)之间,未达到阈值。在具有组织病理学真值标准的患者亚组中,验证检测率和联合区域水平阳性预测值均高于预先设定的阈值(多数阅片结果,分别为81%[95% CI 69.9 - 89.6]和72%[95% CI 62.5 - 80.7])。未发现明显的安全问题。
F-rhPSMA-7.3为复发性前列腺癌的定位提供了具有临床意义的验证检测率。尽管未达到联合区域水平阳性预测值这一共同主要终点,但总体数据支持F-rhPSMA-7.3的潜在临床应用价值。
