Intraindividual Comparison of 18F-PSMA-1007 and 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT in the Prospective Evaluation of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Prostate Carcinoma: A Pilot Study. J Nucl Med 2017; 59:1076-1080. [PMID: 29269569 DOI: 10.2967/jnumed.117.204669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 120] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2017] [Accepted: 11/28/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The introduction of 18F-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET/CT tracers, first 18F-DCFPyL (2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-[(6-18F-fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioic acid) and more recently 18F-PSMA-1007 (((3S,10S,14S)-1-(4-(((S)-4-carboxy-2-((S)-4-carboxy-2-(6-18F-fluoronicotinamido)butanamido)butanamido)methyl)phenyl)-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)-1,4,12-trioxo-2,5,11,13-tetraazahexadecane-10,14,16-tricarboxylic acid)), have demonstrated promising results for the diagnostic workup of prostate cancer. This clinical study presents an intraindividual comparison to evaluate tracer-specific characteristics of 18F-DCFPyL versus 18F-PSMA-1007. Methods: Twelve prostate cancer patients, drug-naïve or before surgery, received similar activities of about 250 MBq of 18F-DCFPyL and 18F-PSMA-1007 48 h apart and were imaged 2 h after injection on the same PET/CT scanner using the same reconstruction algorithm. Normal-organ biodistribution and tumor uptake were quantified using SUVmaxResults: PSMA-positive lesions were detected in 12 of 12 prostate cancer patients. Both tracers, 18F-DCFPyL and 18F-PSMA-1007, detected the same lesions. No statistical significance could be observed when comparing the SUVmax of 18F-DCFPyL and 18F-PSMA-1007 for local tumor, lymph node metastases, and bone metastases. With regard to normal organs, 18F-DCFPyL had statistically significant higher uptake in kidneys, urinary bladder, and lacrimal gland. Vice versa, significantly higher uptake of 18F-PSMA-1007 in muscle, submandibular and sublingual gland, spleen, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder was observed. Conclusion: Excellent imaging quality was achieved with both 18F-DCFPyL and 18F-PSMA-1007, resulting in identical clinical findings for the evaluated routine situations. Nonurinary excretion of 18F-PSMA-1007 might present some advantage with regard to delineation of local recurrence or pelvic lymph node metastasis in selected patients; the lower hepatic background might favor 18F-DCFPyL in late stages, when rare cases of liver metastases can occur.

Hoffmann MA, Miederer M, Wieler HJ, Ruf C, Jakobs FM, Schreckenberger M. Diagnostic performance of 68Gallium-PSMA-11 PET/CT to detect significant prostate cancer and comparison with 18FEC PET/CT. Oncotarget 2017; 8:111073-111083. [PMID: 29340038 PMCID: PMC5762306 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.22441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2017] [Accepted: 10/27/2017] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Radiolabeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has proven to be a highly accurate method to detect recurrence and metastases of prostate cancer, but only sparse data is available about its performance in the diagnosis of clinically significant primary prostate cancer. Methods We compared 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in 25 patients with 18FEC PET/CT in 40 patients with suspected prostate carcinoma based on an increased PSA level.The PET/CT results were compared with the histopathologic Gleason Score (GS) of biopsies. Results The 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT revealed highly suspect prostatic lesions (maximum standardized uptake value/SUVmax >2.5) in 21/25 patients (84%), associated with GS≥6 (low-grade/high-grade carcinoma). Two histopathologic non-malignancy-relevant cases (GS<6) had PSMA-SUVmax ≤2.5; all histopathologic high-grade cases (GS≥7b) showed PSMA-SUVmax >12.0 which further increased with rising GS. There were 2 false positives and no false negative findings for high-grade prostate cancer using a cut off-level for SUVmax of 2.5.In contrast, the 18FEC PET/CT showed suspected malignant lesions in 38/40 patients (95%), which included 3 lesions with GS<6. The mean SUVmax values did not differ with different GS. There were 11 false positives and 1 false negative for detection of high-grade prostate cancer (cut off 2.5).By means of ROC analysis a SUVmax of 5.4 was found to be an optimal cut off-level to distinguish between low- and high-grade carcinoma in 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (AUC=0.9692; 95% CI 0.9086;1.0000;SD(AUC)=0.0309)). Choosing a cut off-level of SUVmax5.4, 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT was able to distinguish between GS ≤7a/≥7b with a sensitivity of 84%, a specificity of 100%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 67%, and an efficiency of 88% (p<0.001).The ROC analysis revealed a SUVmax 6.5 as an optimal cut off-level to distinguish between low- and high-grade carcinoma in 18FEC PET/CT (AUC=0.7470; 95% CI 0.5919;0.9020;SD(AUC)=0.0791) with a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 92%; but the efficiency was only 70% and the NPV 50% (p=0.01). Conclusion 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT guided biopsy of the prostate increases diagnostic precision and is likely to help to reduce overtreatment of low-grade malignant disease as well as detect the foci of the highest Gleason pattern. Both methods (68Ga-PSMA-11,18FEC) were suitable to detect primary prostate cancer, but the excellent image quality, the higher specificity and the good correlation of positive scans with GS are advantages of 68Ga-PSMA-11.
