PURPOSEProstate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT enhances prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. The newly developed PSMA probe, [68Ga]Ga-P16-093, with low urinary excretion, has shown superior diagnostic efficacy compared to conventional PSMA probes. This study aims to assess the diagnostic efficacy and local-regional staging performance of [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 in PCa lesions of newly diagnosed patients, using histopathology as the gold standard for validation.METHODSThis prospective study enrolled newly diagnosed PCa patients (April 2022-November 2023). All patients underwent [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET imaging, and a subset also received [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT within one week. Radical prostatectomy within two weeks post-PET provided complete pathological specimens from all patients. The diagnostic efficacy and locoregional staging performance of [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 were statistically compared with that of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, using histopathology as the gold standard.RESULTSFifty-six treatment-naïve male patients (mean age 67 ± 6 years; range 52-77) were prospectively enrolled. A subgroup of 37 patients who underwent both [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-P16-093 and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT was analyzed for direct comparison. [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET/CT demonstrated superior diagnostic performance in primary prostate cancer evaluation, with sensitivity of 74.44% (201/270, 95% CI: 68.38-80.50%), specificity of 96.26% (387/402, 95% CI: 94.39-98.15%), and accuracy of 87.50% (588/672, 95% CI: 85.05-89.95%). Compared with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET/CT showed higher tracer uptake, with SUVmax of 9.86 ± 6.82 vs. 6.74 ± 1.89 (P = 0.041), SUVmean of 5.81 ± 4.03 vs. 3.98 ± 1.04 (P = 0.037), and T/B ratio of 23.19 ± 17.51 vs. 16.04 ± 7.75 (P = 0.042). Additionally, ROC analysis revealed a significantly greater AUC for P16-093 (0.85 vs. 0.75, P < 0.05). Moreover, locoregional staging accuracy was higher at 59.46% (22/37) compared with 32.43% (12/37) for [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT.CONCLUSION[68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET/CT exhibits high diagnostic performance in the diagnosis of primary PCa and shows significant advantages in identifying local tumor segments. [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 may serve as an alternative to [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 in the future diagnosis of PCa.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05324332. Registered 04 March 2022.
