Conditions: Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Keywords: Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 22
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This research is being done to see if an investigational radioactive drug called 18F-DCFBC can help us find cancer that has spread (metastatic disease) from its original site in people who have cancer in their prostate to other parts of their body.

Detailed description:
The objective of this study is to evaluate a radiolabeled urea-based small molecule inhibitor of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), \[18F\]DCFBC (DCFBC) PET imaging for detection of metastatic prostate cancer. PSMA is a well characterized histological marker of prostate cancer tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential. The investigators propose to assess the ability of DCFBC PET to detect metastatic prostate cancer by visual qualitative and quantitative SUV analysis. Correlation will be made to sites of suspected metastatic disease detected by standard conventional imaging modalities (CIM) for prostate cancer which includes IV contrast CT of chest/abdomen/pelvis and whole body bone scintigraphy.

Arms:
arm 1: Participants with hormone-naive prostate cancer (HNPC) and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with metastatic lesions detected on conventional imaging modalities (contrast-enhanced computed tomography \[CECT\] and bone scintigraphy \[BS\]) undergo PET imaging with 18F-DCFBC radiotracer.

Interventions: intervention 1: 18F-DCFBC
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 18F-DCFBC is a radiofluorinated small-molecule inhibitor of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).

A bolus of 10 mCi (370 MBq) \[9-11 mCi (333-407 MBq)\] of 18F-DCFBC will be injected into the IV line by slow IV push.
