Study Summary

This trial is testing a new imaging agent, [18F] PyL, to see if it can better detect metastatic prostate lesions than standard imaging. So far it seems to be working well, but more research is needed to see if it can help predict which patients will respond to certain therapies.

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~3.5 years

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To determine the positive predictive value of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT on a per-patient basis
Secondary outcome measures
To determine the positive predictive value of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT on a per-region basis, with regions being the prostate or prostate bed, pelvis, extra pelvis, and bones
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT on a per patient and region basis
Other outcome measures
To characterize ctDNA and exosomes in patients with prostate cancer
To determine correlation with ctDNA and/or exosome levels with disease burden

Experimental Treatment
Group I: 18F- DCFPyL PET/CTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Upon enrollment, subjects will undergo standard of care imaging (defined as a CT or MRI of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and 99mTc bone scans) if not obtained within 45 days of enrollment. Subjects will have standard of care laboratory evaluations including complete blood count (CBC), serum chemistries, hepatic panel, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and PSA. Liquid biopsies for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and exosome analysis will occur at the same time. Subjects will then undergo 18F- DCFPyL PET/CT.
