About this study

Official title: Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) or Fluciclovine (FACBC) PET/CT Site-Directed Therapy of OLigometASTatic Prostate Cancer (P-Flu-BLAST-PC): A Multicenter Study

This phase II trial studies how well prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) site-directed therapy works for treating patients with prostate cancer. PSMA or fluciclovine PET/CT may detect prostate cancer early and may help to show whether patients benefit from site directed treatment to PET detected abnormalities.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 groups.

GROUP I: Patients for whom initial fluciclovine or PSMA PET/CT does not reveal any abnormalities outside the prostatic fossa undergo PSA rechecks every 3 months, and undergo fluciclovine or PSMA PET/CT once PSA is > 2 ng/ml. If still no abnormalities are found outside of the prostatic fossa, patients continue to undergo PSA rechecks every 3 months, and undergo fluciclovine or PSMA PET/CT once PSA is > 5 ng/ml. Patients are off study for treatment plan once PSA reaches 10 ng/ml.

GROUP II: Patients undergo fluciclovine or PSMA PET/CT and who have =< 3 regions of metastatic disease outside of the prostatic fossa that are amenable to metastasis-directed therapy undergo lymphadenectomy or radiation therapy. Six to ten weeks after surgery, patients receive abiraterone acetate 1000 mg orally (PO) once daily (QD) and prednisone PO QD. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may start radiation therapy after 2 cycles of abiraterone acetate and prednisone.

GROUP III: Patients undergo fluciclovine or PSMA PET/CT and who have > 3 regions of metastatic disease receive abiraterone acetate and prednisone as in Group II.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 37, 49, 61, 73, 85, 97, 109, and 121 weeks, at 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, and 66 months, and then annually thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Positron Emission Tomography, Lymphadenectomy and Radiation Therapy in people with Prostate Adenocarcinoma, run by University of Washington at 2 sites 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 17 inclusion and 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jane Romani (206-606-1909, jromani@fredhutch.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Undetectable PSA (< 0.2 ng/mL) rate (time frame: At 2 years). 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 7 Jul 2026.
