Overview

Brief Summary

Hypothesis:Anti-[18F]FACBC PET-CT will adequately detect local and extraprostatic recurrence, and lead to better characterization of disease status in restaging patients.

This is a study that will test a compound (chemical substance) that has a small amount of radioactivity attached to it. This substance has a natural tendency to go to prostate tissue. The substance is called [18]FACBC and it is given in the form of an injection into a vein. After the substance reaches the prostate, scans called PET or Positron Emission Tomography, are done. This is similar to having CAT scans or x-rays. Usually a compound called [18]FDG is used for PET scans but this substance is eliminated by the kidneys and cannot reach the prostate. This substance called [18]FACBC is not eliminated by the kidneys and may allow tumors in the prostate to be seen better. It is sometimes difficult to tell if a growth on the prostate is cancer with scans or x-rays that are usually done.

Anti-[18F]FACBC PET-CT will be compared to ProstaScint (In-capromab pendetide) which is the conventional imaging for prostate cancer. Investigators will be blinded of the intervention.

This study will look at how the [18]FACBC goes into the prostate tissue and determine its ability to detect recurrent prostate cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Patients will have been originally diagnosed with localized (Stage T1c, T2, or T3 ) prostate carcinoma and have undergone what was considered definitive therapy for localized disease.
  • In the case of brachytherapy, cryotherapy, or external beam radiation, treatment will have occurred at least 2 years in the past to eliminate patients with so-called "PSA bump."
  • Patient will have suspicion of recurrent prostate carcinoma as defined by: ASTRO criteria of three consecutive rises of PSA or earlier if clinically appropriate, and/or nadir + 2.0 after radiotherapy, and/or greater than 0.3 after prostatectomy.
  • Ability to lie still for PET scanning
  • Patients must be able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Age less than
  • Greater than T3 disease in past
  • Prior prostatectomy or 2 years since brachytherapy, cryotherapy, or external beam radiation therapy.
  • Does not meet above criteria of suspicious PSA elevation
  • Inability to lie still for PET scanning
  • Cannot provide written informed consent.
  • Bone scan findings characteristic for metastatic prostate carcinoma
  • Less than 2 months since any prior prostate biopsy (to decrease false positive uptake from inflammation).

Arms & Interventions

FACBC PET-CT and ProstaScint CT

Participants diagnosed with localized prostate carcinoma with subsequent definitive therapy or suspicion of recurrent cancer will undergo an FACBC PET-CT scan and the ProstaScinct CT.

Intervention: FACBC

FACBC PET-CT and ProstaScint CT

Participants diagnosed with localized prostate carcinoma with subsequent definitive therapy or suspicion of recurrent cancer will undergo an FACBC PET-CT scan and the ProstaScinct CT.

Intervention: ProstaScinct

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With False Positive Scans Within the Prostate Bed

Time Frame: Up to 5 years

Total number of participants with positive FACBC PET-CT and ProstaScint scans in the prostate bed that were confirmed as negative by biopsy and or follow up.

Number of Participants With False Positive Scans Outside the Prostate Bed

Time Frame: Up to 5 years

Total number of participants with positive FACBC PET-CT and ProstaScint CT scans outside the prostate bed (extra-prostate) that were confirmed as negative by biopsy and/or follow up.

Number of Participants With True Negative Scans Within the Prostate Bed

Time Frame: Up to 5 years

Total number of participants with negative FACBC PET-CT and ProstaScint CT scans in the prostate bed that were confirmed as negative by biopsy and or follow up.

Number of Participants With True Negative Scans Outside the Prostate Bed

Time Frame: Up to 5 years

Total number of participants with negative FACBC PET-CT and ProstaScint CT scans outside the prostate bed (extra-prostate) that were confirmed as negative by biopsy and/or follow up.

Diagnostic Performance of Anti-[18F]FACBC PET-CT Imaging in Detection of Extra-prostatic Recurrence of Prostate Carcinoma

Time Frame: Up to 5 years

1. Sensitivity = How well FACBC PET is able to correctly detect when there is prostate cancer outside the prostate bed. \[total number of true positives / total number of study participants confirmed to have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed (True positives + False negatives)\] 2. Specificity = How well FACBC PET is able to correctly detect when there is no prostate cancer outside the prostate bed. \[ total number of true negatives / total number of study participants confirmed to not have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed (True negatives + False positives)\] 3. Accuracy = (True positives + true negatives)/all tests 4. Positive predictive value = probability that subjects with a positive screening test truly have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed 5. Negative predictive value = probability that subjects with a negative screening test truly don't have prostate cancer outside the prostate bed

Diagnostic Performance of Anti-[18F]FACBC PET-CT Imaging in Detection of Recurrent Prostate Carcinoma in the Prostate Bed

Time Frame: Up to 5 years

1. Sensitivity = How well FACBC PET is able to correctly detect when there is prostate cancer in the prostate bed. i.e. total number of true positives / total number of study participants confirmed to have prostate disease in the prostate bed (True positives + False negatives) 2. Specificity = How well FACBC PET is able to correctly detect when there is no prostate cancer in the prostate bed. i.e. total number of true negatives / total number of study participants confirmed to not have prostate disease in the prostate bed (True negatives + False positives) 3. Accuracy = (True positives + true negatives)/all tests 4. Positive predictive value = the probability that subjects with a positive screening test truly have prostate carcinoma in the prostate bed 5.
