Background: PSMA-targeted PET/CT is superior to conventional imaging modalities to localize biochemically recurrent (BCR) PCa after local therapy, particularly in pts with low PSA ( < 2 ng/mL). However, few studies have reported PSMA-targeted PET/CT accuracy compared to a pre-specified rigorous standard of truth (SOT) including histopathology, correlative imaging or treatment response in this population. Here, we report the CLR and PPV of PSMA-targeted 18F-DCFPyLPET/ CT, for each of the pre-defined SOT criteria for the CONDOR prospective phase 3 study. Methods: The study enrolled men with rising PSA after definitive therapy and negative or equivocal standard of care imaging (e.g., CT/MRI, bone scintigraphy, F-18 fluciclovine). A single 9 mCi (333 MBq) ± 20% dose of 18F-DCFPyL was injected, followed by PET/CT 1-2 hours later. Pts with positive 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT scans based on local interpretation were scheduled for follow up within 60 days to verify suspected lesion(s) using a composite SOT. The primary endpoint was CLR defined as PPV with the requirement of anatomic lesion co-localization between 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT and the SOT. The SOT consisted of, in descending priority: 1) histopathology, 2) subsequent correlative imaging findings determined by twocentral readers, or 3) post-radiation PSA response. The trial was successful if the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for CLR exceeded 20% for at least two of three independent, blinded central 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT reviewers. Results: 208 men (median PSA 0.8 ng/mL) underwent 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT and the study achieved its primary endpoint: CLR was between 84.8% to 87.0% (lower bound of 95% CI: 77.8%-80.4%) among the three 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT readers, against the composite SOT. The performance of 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT by CLR (≥1 lesion co-localized) and PPV (≥1 lesion confirmed) was maintained through all 3 SOT categories. Histopathology (N = 31): 78.6-82.8% and 92.9-93.3% for CLR and PPV, respectively; correlative imaging (N = 100): 86.1-88.6% and 87.0-89.5% for CLR and PPV, respectively; and PSA response (N = 1): 100% for both CLR and PPV. Further analyses of the correlative imaging results showed CLR remained high across the different modalities used a) 18F-fluciclovine-PET/CT (N = 71): (86.8-90.9%); b) MRI (N = 23): (80.0-86.7%); and c) CT (n = 6): (80.0-100%). Conclusions: PSMA-targeted 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT detected and localized metastatic lesions with high CLR and PPV regardless of which criterion defined CLR that was used, in men with BCR who had negative or equivocal baseline imaging.
