PSMA PET initial staging to predict outcomes in newly diagnosed prostate cancer

A Multicenter, Prospective Study on the Prognostic Value of PSMA PET in Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Treatment-naïve Prostate Cancer

Observational Xijing Hospital · NCT07474142

We will test whether PSMA PET scans done before any treatment can predict how long people with newly diagnosed prostate cancer stay free from disease progression.

What this trial studies

This prospective, multicenter observational study will enroll patients with biopsy‑confirmed, treatment‑naïve prostate cancer who undergo PSMA PET as initial staging. Imaging and clinical data will be combined to develop a PSMA‑VISION score aimed at predicting progression‑free survival with at least two years of follow‑up. The new score will be compared directly with existing prognostic tools (NCCN, STARCAP, PPP and PPP2 nomograms) to measure relative performance. Participating centers include Xijing Hospital and collaborating hospitals across several Chinese provinces.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are people with biopsy‑confirmed, newly diagnosed prostate cancer who had a PSMA PET scan before any treatment and can provide at least two years of follow‑up data.

Not a fit: Patients who have already received prostate cancer treatment, those with neuroendocrine prostate cancer or other non‑prostate metastatic malignancies, and people without baseline PSMA PET scans are unlikely to benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the PSMA‑VISION score could help personalize initial treatment decisions by identifying patients at higher or lower risk of progression.

How similar studies have performed: Large international studies using PROMISE‑based PPP nomograms have shown strong prognostic performance (C‑indices ~0.77–0.80) across mixed disease stages, but focused data on treatment‑naïve, newly diagnosed cohorts are limited.
