Study Summary
This trial will use PET scans with a radiotracer to see if it can more accurately find where prostate cancer has spread in the body.
Who is the study for?
Men with confirmed prostate cancer showing progression through new bone lesions, increased soft tissue disease, or rising PSA levels. They must have visible cancer signs on CT, MRI, or bone imaging and functionally adequate kidneys and liver. Those with severe kidney issues, past severe reactions to the PET scan tracers, or significant liver dysfunction cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two PET scan radiotracers: [18F]-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (FDG) and [18F] Dihydro-Testosterone (FDHT), to see if they can more accurately detect where prostate cancer has spread in the body compared to current methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the tracers used for PET scans. However, since this study focuses on diagnostic procedures rather than treatment drugs, fewer side effects are expected compared to therapeutic trials.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
To study the accumulation and biodistribution of FDHT in patients with progressive prostate cancer. The accumulation and location of FDHT activity will be assessed on a site by site basis and correlated with radionuclide bone scan, CT and MRI.
Secondary outcome measures
The kinetics, metabolism, and biodistribution will be assessed.
To correlate the accumulation of 18FDHT to 18FDG.
To study changes in 18FDHT accumulation over time in patients treated with: Castration and other hormones, Chemotherapy, Agents directed toward the androgen receptor
