We convened an international expert committee of diverse working groups, the Prostate Cancer Working Group 4 (PCWG4), between 2016 and 2025. Our objective was to formulate updated criteria based on emerging evidence and clinical trial data in a biomarker context to provide guidance for clinical trial design, eligibility, and end point assessments for patients with advanced prostate cancer. PCWG4 redefines terminology around the disease state and previous therapies in a patient-centric context and terminology focused on androgen pathway modulation. We consider imaging, with a particular focus on positron emission tomography (PET)-defined disease. New recommendations are provided for disease state terminology, defining eligibility criteria, response and delay/prevent end points, intervals for reassessments including imaging, and patient-reported outcome determination. We provide recommendations in a biomarker-based context of use for the intended indication, reflective of patient benefit for specific interventions. We emphasize the need for development of validated PET imaging and molecular and phenotypic criteria as well as trial designs to appropriately risk stratify patients, predict and assess benefit, and measure post-treatment outcomes reliably in a trial framework. PCWG4 updates recommendations on patient and tumor characterization, therapy development, and imaging criteria and extends guidance into earlier androgen pathway modulator-naïve/sensitive disease states to reflect an evolving, heterogeneous, and diverse patient population to optimize treatment benefits for all patients.31:T9c9, PURPOSE The continuous development of new imaging approaches, molecular phenotyping, genetic subtypes, prognosis assessments, and effective therapies across a range of disease states has created a need to redefine terminology and best practices for clinical trial conduct in patients with advanced prostate cancer. METHODS We convened an international expert committee of diverse working groups, the Prostate Cancer Working Group 4 (PCWG4), between 2016 and 2025. Our objective was to formulate updated criteria based on emerging evidence and clinical trial data in a biomarker context to provide guidance for clinical trial design, eligibility, and end point assessments for patients with advanced prostate cancer. RESULTS PCWG4 redefines terminology around the disease state and previous therapies in a patient-centric context and terminology focused on androgen pathway modulation. We consider imaging, with a particular focus on positron emission tomography (PET)–defined disease. New recommendations are provided for disease state terminology, defining eligibility criteria, response and delay/prevent end points, intervals for reassessments including imaging, and patient-reported outcome determination. We provide recommendations in a biomarker-based context of use for the intended indication, reflective of patient benefit for specific interventions. We emphasize the need for development of validated PET imaging and molecular and phenotypic criteria as well as trial designs to appropriately risk stratify patients, predict and assess benefit, and measure post-treatment outcomes reliably in a trial framework. CONCLUSION PCWG4 updates recommendations on patient and tumor characterization, therapy development, and imaging criteria and extends guidance into earlier androgen pathway modulator–naïve/sensitive disease states to reflect an evolving, heterogeneous, and diverse patient population to optimize treatment benefits for all patients. 25:[[["$","script","0",{"type":"application/ld+json","dangerouslySetInnerHTML":{"__html":"{\"@context\":\"https://schema.org\",\"@type\":\"CollectionPage\",\"name\":\"PSMA-PET Imaging: modality Research & Clinical Takeaways\",\"description\":\"Explore peer-reviewed papers on PSMA-PET Imaging (modality).

(2) incorporating PSMA-PET as non-investigational for staging but investigational for response assessment; (3) updating the bone progression rule — ≥6 new lesions on a restaging scan no longer require a confirmatory scan (vs. the prior 2+2 rule for all cases); (4) endorsing four near-term candidate response biomarkers: pathologic response, PSA declines/nadir, CTC0, and ctDNA decline; and (5) defining PSA progression in the APM setting as any confirmed rise ≥0.2 ng/mL from baseline/nadir on two measurements ≥21 days apart.","limitations":"This is a consensus guideline document, not a primary clinical trial — recommendations are expert-based and many proposed PSMA-PET criteria (e.g., SUV-based response, PET-defined rPFS) require prospective phase III validation. The document acknowledges that most novel biomarkers (ctDNA, CTC0, PSA declines) are not yet validated surrogates for OS or regulatory approval.","practice_takeaway":"Clinicians designing or interpreting prostate cancer trials should adopt APMN/APMS/APMR terminology and obtain PSMA-PET at baseline where feasible, while tracking CT/bone scan findings independently. For bone progression on bone scintigraphy or PSMA-PET, a confirmatory scan is no longer required when ≥6 new lesions are seen — act on that finding promptly rather than waiting."}}],"initialOffset":1,"fetchConfig":{"kind":"tags","tags":[{"tag_type":"modality","value":"PSMA-PET Imaging"}]},"breadcrumbItems":[{"name":"Home","href":"/"},{"name":"Research Hub","href":"/hub"},{"name":"Modalities","href":"/hub/tag/modality"},{"name":"PSMA-PET Imaging"}],"hrefConfig":{"basePath":"/hub/papers","webViewQueryParams":{"hub_ctx":"tag","hub_tag_type":"modality","hub_tag_value":"PSMA-PET Imaging"}}}]]
