Pilot Study of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT in the Evaluation of Men With an Elevated PSA Following Radical Prostatectomy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02523924
Lead Sponsor
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Brief Summary

This pilot study aims to investigate the diagnostic utility of 18F-DCFPyL, a novel low-molecular weight PSMA PET/CT imaging agent, in men with an elevated PSA following radical prostatectomy.

Detailed Description

18F-DCFPyL is a novel low-molecular weight PSMA imaging agent. A recent study of patients with metastatic prostate cancer found that PSMA PET/CT identified more sites of disease than conventional imaging with CT, MRI and bone scan. In this study we aim to investigate 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT in patients with an elevated PSA following radical prostatectomy. During the course of this study, patients will undergo two 18F-DCPyL PET/CT scans. The first scan will take place within 45 days of staging imaging and the second will take place following six months of standard of care therapy.
