18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Impact on Predicting Clinical Outcome of 177Lu-PSMA-617 Therapy in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Usefulness of Tumor Heterogeneity Assessment in Patients With MCRPC Undergoing Radioligand Therapy With 177LU-PSMA-617 Using Serial 18F-DCFPYL, 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Predicting Clinical Outcome
About This Trial
- This study is looking at whether an extra, specialized body scan can help doctors predict how well a targeted radiation treatment will work for prostate cancer.
- It is open only to military Veterans with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and who are already scheduled to receive this specific radiation therapy.
- Before deciding to take part, patients should know that the study requires having multiple extra imaging scans taken before and throughout their treatment cycles.
More Information
- This a single-center, prospective, exploratory study.
- Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) scheduled to undergo Lutetium labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen radioligand therapy (LuPSMA RLT) at the West Los Angeles VA (WLA-VA) will be imaged with a baseline F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography 18F-FDG PET/CT and a 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT (18F-DCFPyL (2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-[(6-18F-fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioi c acid)positron emission tomography/computed tomography , as per Standard of Care in our institution.
- All patients further undergo eventual follow-up prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) after the 2nd, 4th, and 6th LuPSMA RLT cycle.
- In this prospective study, an18F-Fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( Axumin PET/CT )will be additionally obtained at baseline (pre-LuPSMA RLT), and after the 2nd, 4th, 6th LuPSMA RLT cycles.
- Axumin PET/CT will be acquired within 7 days from the PSMA PET.
- This study is open to Veterans only.
