Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This research is being done to see if an investigational radioactive imaging agent (radiotracer) called 18F-DCFPyL can help us find prostate cancer at its original site in the prostate gland and in distant sites (bone, lymph nodes) in men diagnosed with prostate cancer before surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for men over 18 with newly diagnosed prostate cancer, graded Gleason 8-10, who are planning to have radiation and ADT. They must be medically fit for these treatments and at least 10 days post-prostate biopsy. Men already on hormone therapy or those who've had chemotherapy, investigational therapies, or prior pelvic radiation can't participate.

Inclusion Criteria

I am healthy enough for radiation and hormone therapy.

My prostate cancer is aggressive (Gleason score 8-10).

I am a man over 18 with new prostate cancer, planning on radiation and hormone therapy.

Exclusion Criteria

I have bleeding in my bladder or an active prostate infection.

I am receiving chemotherapy for prostate cancer.

I am considering a trial treatment for prostate cancer.

Treatment Details

Interventions

• 18F-DCFPyL

Trial Overview The study tests a new radioactive imaging agent called 18F-DCFPyL in detecting prostate cancer within the gland and elsewhere in the body before surgery. It aims to improve how we visualize cancer using PET-MRI fusion techniques.

Participant Groups

Group I: DCFPyL PET-MRI fusion or PET/MRI Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

* Pelvic DCFPyL PET-MRI fusion or PET/MRI compared before and after 2-3 months of ADT * Pelvic DCFPyL PET-MRI fusion or PET/MRI compared before and after 2-3 months
