What to expect

No one can promise a trial will help you personally — that is what the research is trying to find out.

Show the study's own words
  • "Lesions suspicious for disease of PyL that were unsuspected on standard of care imaging will be selected for biopsy for pathologic confirmation if feasible ."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

The standard of care imaging of prostate cancer metastases recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan, may be suboptimal. PyL is a novel PET tracer designed to detect prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate cancer cells. PyL PET/CT may provide improved evaluation of clinically significant metastases in patients with prostate cancer.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male ≥ 18 years of age. 2. Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate 3. Patients meet one of the follow criteria: Cohort 1: High risk prostate cancer (PSA \>10, Gleason 8-10, or clinical stage \>T2c) and planned prostatectomy or radiation therapy or Cohort 2: Biochemical prostate cancer relapse (Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) \> 0.2 ng/ml in patients following prostatectomy or ≥ 2 ng/ml more than the PSA nadir in patient following radiotherapy, as defined by the ASTRO-Phoenix criteria \[18\] and no evidence of malignancy on standard of care imaging for metastases (CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan) within 3 months. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data. 2. Patients who cannot undergo PET/CT scanning because of weight limits. PET/CT scanners may not be able to function with patients over 450 pounds. 3. Change in therapy since standard of care imaging
