Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Efficacy, Diagnosis
To determine the diagnostic accuracy of F-18 PSMA-11 PET/CT for the (re)staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) compared to F-18 FDG PET/CT and F-18 Choline PET/CT.
Secondary objectives 4
- To compare overall survival and progression-free survival between subjects with PSMA-avid disease versus those with FDG-avid and Choline-avid disease.
- To evaluate tumor-to-background ratios for intrahepatic lesions
- To assess Standard Uptake Value (SUV) parameters for all lesions
- To determine the proportion of subjects with metastatic disease detected by PSMA PET/CT, versus those detected by FDG and Choline PET.
Conditions and MedDRA coding

Eligibility criteria
Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor
Inclusion criteria 4
- Willing and mentally legally capable to provide written informed consent
- 18 years of age or older
- - One of the following clinical scenario’s: • New diagnosis of HCC, confirmed either by biopsy or imaging using EASL/AASLD criteria, with a high risk of metastases indicated by portal invasion or a primary lesion of >5cm diameter. • Known diagnosis of HCC that requires restaging due to unexplained elevated AFP tumor markers, known metastases, impending initiation of immunotherapy, or being on the waiting list for a liver transplant.
- Have either planned or recently undergone (within the past 4 weeks) both F-18 FDG PET/CT and F-18 Choline PET/CT scans as part of their diagnostic or staging workup for one of the above indications.
Exclusion criteria 4
- Known active malignancy other than hepatocellular carcinoma.
- History of prostate cancer
- Active pregnancy
- Possible pregnancy and refusal of urine pregnancy test
Endpoints
Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)
Primary endpoints 1
- Per-lesion detection rate of F-18 PSMA-11 PET/CT, 60-90 minutes post-injection.
Secondary endpoints 4
- Overall Survival (OS) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS): Measured among subjects with PSMA-avid, FDG-avid, and Choline-avid HCC lesions, measured after completion of the 2 year follow-up for all patients.
- Tumor-to-Background Ratio: Assessed for intrahepatic HCC lesions 60-90 minutes post-injection using F-18 PSMA-11 PET/CT.
- Standard Uptake Value (SUV) Parameters: Analyzed for all HCC lesions detected 60-90 minutes post-injection with F-18 PSMA-11 PET/CT.
- Proportion of subjects with Metastatic HCC: Comparison between those detected by F-18 PSMA-11 PET/CT, F-18 FDG PET, and F-18 Choline PET, 60-90 minutes post-injection.
