About this study

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.

Read the 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Putative Sites of Metastatic Disease as Determined by 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT

    Number of sites with 18F-DCFPyL uptake consistent with prostate cancer.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Location of Putative Sites of Metastatic Disease as Determined by 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT

    Location of uptake of 18F-DCFPyL consistent with prostate cancer.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT Findings With Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Levels

    Number of participants with PSA 0.2-1.0ng/mL OR PSA >1.0ng/mL with at least 1 site of uptake of 18F-DCFPyL consistent with prostate cancer.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Correlation of Findings on 18FDCFPyL PET/CT With Those Found on Conventional Imaging (Bone Scan and Cross-sectional Imaging)

    Number of sites with uptake on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT and corresponding lesions identified on conventional imaging.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Correlation of Findings on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT With Tissue Histology and PSMA Expression of Biopsied/Resected Pathology Specimens

    Number of sites with 18F-DCFPyL uptake from which biopsy specimens show PSMA expression.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 18F-DCFPyL in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Jan 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Putative Sites of Metastatic Disease as Determined by 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2020.
