Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • subject has prostate cancer treated with surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy for localized disease
  • subject has biochemical recurrence defined in postsurgical patients as a PSA value = > 0.2 ng/mL followed by a subsequent confirmatory PSA value = >0.2 ng/mL according to the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines, or three consecutive rises above the nadir in patients following radiation therapy according to the American Society for Radiation Therapy and Oncology (ASTRO).
  • in most cases, it will be required that the patient has had a prior CIM scan (such as a BS, MRI, CT or PET with F-18 Fluciclovine) performed before enrollment in this study; the only exception would be if the PSA level of the patient is remarkably high indicating apparent recurrence.

About this study

Eligible patients have prostate cancer that was treated with surgery or radiation therapy for localized disease and there is evidence of biochemical recurrence and/or metastases on conventional imaging.The objective of this study is to assess the performance in detection of prostate cancer of a new positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer for prostate cancer ([18F]-DCFPyl) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results of tracer uptake and MRI image features as whole body PET/MRI and dedicated pelvic/prostate PET/MRI, alone and together, will be correlated and compared to detection of lesions on conventional imaging modalities. Additionally, if the patient undergoes a biopsy as standard of care, image features will correlate directly with histopathological findings.Validation of this radiotracer can potentially lead to its use as a standard of care for future imaging and improve diagnosis and treatment guidance.This drug is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is therefore considered experimental.There will be 20 subjects enrolled in this study; all of these patients will be enrolled at Stony Brook University Medical Center.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to assess the performance of [18F]-DCFPyl PET with whole-body MRI and multiparametric pelvic/prostate MRI for PCa detection in men with recurrence as determined by biochemical PSA level or evidence on CIM. Results of tracer uptake and MRI image features on whole body PET/MRI and dedicated pelvic/prostate PET/MRI, alone and together, will be correlated and compared to detection of lesions on CIM that usually includes bone scan (BS) and CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, or PET imaging with F-18 Fluciclovine. In addition, in patients who undergo a biopsy when performed as standard of care, image features will correlate directly with histopathological findings on lesion biopsy to directly demonstrate that 'radiotracer and/or MRI positive' lesions contain tumor cells.

To test the hypothesis, this study is being proposed using the [18F]-DCFPyL PET tracer for the detection of PCa in patients with biochemical recurrence or evidence on CIM. The [18F]-DCFPyL PET tracer will be provided by the company Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (New York, New York) and conducted under an investigational new drug (IND) approval received by Stony Brook University.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of PET PSMA and Conventional Imaging

    Compare [18F]DCFPyL PET imaging combined with whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multiparametric pelvic/prostate MRI to conventional imaging modalities (CIM)--such as 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan (BS) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) of the abdomen and pelvis, or a newly approved PET imaging agent F-18 Fluciclovine, for the localization and determination of extent of recurrent/metastatic disease in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer or evidence of recurrence on CIM.

    Measured: Within 1 year from the PET Imaging study

  2. Sensitivity and Specificity of PET/MRI PSMA in biochemical recurrence

    Determine the sensitivity and specificity of [18F]-DCFPyL PET/MRI for extent of recurrent/metastatic disease in patients with biochemical recurrence.

    Measured: Within 1 year from the PET Imaging study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing [18F]-DCFPyl Ligand in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Stony Brook University 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2022. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Comparison of PET PSMA and Conventional Imaging (time frame: Within 1 year from the PET Imaging study). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04266392, which also lists 10 linked publications.

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 5 May 2022.
