Experimental: 18F-fluciclovine PET CT
Single intravenous administration of 18F-fluciclovine PET CT.
|
Drug: 18F-fluciclovine PET CT
Subjects will undergo a fluciclovine F18 PET/CT scan in addition to standard of care monitoring. The results of this scan may influence further treatment
Other Name: FACBC |
- The Fraction of Patients for Whom 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT Alters Patient Planned Treatment Through Detection of Disease. [ Time Frame: 2-22 days post PET CT ]The change of management will be based on referring physician questionnaires completed pre- and post- 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT
- The Fraction of Patients for Whom 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT Alters Patient Actual Treatment [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
The change of management will be based on referring physician questionnaires completed pre- 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT and changes reported at 6 month follow-up.
Investigators were instructed to assess any clinically significant change from the revised management plan.
- The Rate of Detection of Any Disease Site by 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT in the Study Population [ Time Frame: 1 week ]The percentage of subjects who have disease detectable by 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT
- The Rate of Detection of Disease in 1) Prostate and Prostate Bed and 2) Extra-prostatic Regions With 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT in the Study Population [ Time Frame: 1 week ]The percentage of subjects who have disease detectable by 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT 1) in the pelvis and 2) distally
- The Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT for Regional Disease Compared to Biopsy in Those Patients Who Undergo Biopsy or in Case of Bony Disease a Correlation With MRI or Biopsy [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Based on the ratio of positive findings in the pelvis on 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT which are confirmed by histological examination of tissue or MRI
- The PPV of 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT for Distant Disease Compared to Biopsy in Those Patients Who Undergo a Biopsy or in Case of Bony Disease a Correlation With MRI or Biopsy [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Based on the ratio of positive findings outside the pelvis on 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT which are confirmed by histological examination of tissue or MRI

Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- History of histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate post curative-intent local treatment (radical prostatectomy, local radiotherapy, brachytherapy).
- Suspicion of recurrent prostate carcinoma after previous presumed definitive therapy for organ confined disease defined as :
- Post prostatectomy: Detectable or rising PSA level that is >0.2 ng/mL with a second confirmatory level of >0.2 ng/mL
- Post non-prostatectomy: PSA rise ≥ 2ng/mL over nadir
- Negative or equivocal findings on standard-of-care imaging for restaging of disease in the previous 60 days consisting of: Whole-body 99mTc bone scintigraphy or NaF PET-CT; and either CT or MRI of the pelvis (or the abdomen and pelvis).
- Being considered for salvage therapy
- Any non-surgical local treatment such as previous cryotherapy, external beam radiation, or HiFU (Ultrasound) must have occurred at least 1 year in the past.
- Previous brachytherapy treatment will have occurred at least 2 years in the past
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Ongoing treatment with any systemic therapy intended for the treatment of prostate cancer (e.g., antiandrogen or LHRH agonist or antagonist)
- Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in the past 3 months
- History of bilateral orchidectomy
- Inability to tolerate 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT
