Safety and Diagnostic Performance of uPAR PET Imaging in Localised, Untreated Prostate Cancer

Description:

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the experimental agent accurately determines the aggressiveness of prostate cancer (biopsy-verified ISUP grade). The aim is that the diagnostic PET imaging agent may be used as an alternative or supplement to biopsies in the monitoring of patients with low-risk prostate cancer in active surveillance. Patients diagnosed with untreated, low-grade, localized prostate cancer may participate in the trial. The experimental diagnostic agent 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 is a radiopharmaceutical which is injected into the veins and binds to uPAR expressing cells in the tumour which can then be visualized in a PET scanner. The main question the trial aims to answer is: Can the test drug be used alone or as a supplement to repeated biopsies to accurately assess the aggressiveness of prostate cancer? The trial is divided in 2 parts: * Participants in the first part will receive 2 injections of test drug on 2 different days. * The first day the participant will receive an injection of the test drug and then be asked to lie down in the PET/CT scanner so that images of the prostate can be taken. Before and after the injection/scanning procedure the participant will have tests done. These tests will include evaluation of health status, measurement of heart function by ECG plus blood and urine samples. * After 8 days the procedures, including injection of test drug and scanning, will be repeated. * Participants in the second part of the trial will only have 1 injection of the test drug and subsequent PET/CT scanning. Like in Part 1 of the trial, tests will be done before and after the injection/ scanning procedure.
