Study Summary

This trial is looking at whether the RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System (RMRS) can be used to image prostate cancer as well as the standard of care ([18F]-DCFPyL positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT)).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 with prostate cancer who are scheduled to undergo standard PET-CT imaging using a tracer that targets tumor cells. It's not suitable for individuals exceeding 450 pounds or those with psychiatric/substance abuse issues that could affect study participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the performance of RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System (RMRS) imaging against standard PET-CT in detecting prostate cancer. The goal is to see if RMRS can improve image quality and combine scan planning with radiation therapy, potentially reducing the number of scans needed.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on imaging techniques rather than medication, typical side effects associated with drugs aren't expected. However, exposure to radiation from PET-CT scans carries a minimal risk of long-term radiation effects.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Diagnostic ([18F]-DCFPyL PET-CT, X1 RMRS PET-CT)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive [18F]-DCFPyL IV and undergo [18F]-DCFPyL PET-CT over 30 minutes per SOC. Patients with PET avid lesions then undergo a X1 RMRS PET-CT imaging-only session within 120 minutes of injection over 20-35 minutes.
