A Study Patients with Advanced HCC Undergoing Immunotherapy Through Novel 68Ga PSMA PET Imaging

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient outcomes after undergoing 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging prior to initiation of immunotherapy to identify PSMA PET/CT positive patients (estimated N=20) for long term follow up.  

In adult patients with advanced, pathologically confirmed HCC who are not amenable to curative restriction, transplantation or ablative therapies, and have radiographically measurable disease by RECIST; eligible for atezolizumab/bevacizumab front line therapy.

  • Specific Aim 1.  To test the performance of novel biomarkers derived from PSMA PET/CT to measure response compared to RECIST criteria, in advanced HCC patients treated with immunotherapy. 
  • Specific Aim 2. To identify precision imaging biomarkers that can predict response of HCC to novel immunotherapy.

Patients who are PSMA PET/CT negative at baseline will continue their treatment per standard of care.  Their data, from standard of care, will be collected as part of this study.
