Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT
18F-DCFPyL PET/CT scan obtained at the time of restaging for biochemical recurrence after primary radiotherapy
|
Radiation: 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT scan
PET/CT scan using the radioactive agent 18F-DCFPyL |
- Detection of extra-prostatic disease [ Time Frame: 2 weeks post re-staging ]Number of men with extra-prostatic disease detected by either 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT or conventional imaging, divided by the number of men undergoing imaging.
- Detection of extra-prostatic disease exclusive to 18F-DCFPyl PET/CT [ Time Frame: 2 weeks post re-staging imaging ]Number of men who have extra-prostatic disease detected exclusively on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT.
- Detection of lesions per subject and overall population [ Time Frame: 2 weeks post re-staging imaging ]The number of extra-prostatic lesions detected by 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT versus conventional imaging alone will be compared on a per subject and overall population basis.
- Location of extra-prostatic lesions [ Time Frame: 2 weeks post re-staging imaging ]The location of extra-prostatic lesions detected by 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT versus conventional imaging.
- Planned treatment management based on re-staging imaging [ Time Frame: 2 weeks post re-staging imaging ]Planned treatment management based on the information from 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT compared to conventional imaging, to characterize the impact on patient care.
- Actual treatment management assessed by physician completed study specific questionnaire [ Time Frame: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months after re-staging imaging ]A questionnaire developed specifically for the study, called the Post-PET Management Form, will be completed by the attending physician, noting any changes to the treatment based on the results of the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT imaging. Treatment options may include, but are not limited to, surgery, radiotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy, cryotherapy, and observation.
- Disease status (Is the patient alive, deceased, has active disease, or no evidence of disease?) [ Time Frame: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months after re-staging imaging ]The investigators want to determine if the patient is alive, deceased, has active disease or no evidence of disease, at approximately yearly intervals. The source of this data could come from physician notes, lab tests, imaging reports, pathology report, or directly from the patient.
- Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months after re-staging imaging ]Quality of life is measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P) and Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) standardized questionnaires.
- Disease burden measured by serum and urine biomarkers versus imaging [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Baseline serum and urine will be obtained for future correlative studies of novel biomarkers of disease burden for comparison against measures of disease burden provided by imaging.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:

- Allergy or contraindication to MRI or CT contrast agents or PET tracer to be used as part of the imaging
- Insufficient renal function [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min]
