Brief Title: PSMA-PET Imaging for Detecting Early Metastatic Prostate Cancer in Men w/ High Decipher Test Scores
Official Title: The Utility of PSMA-PET Imaging for Detecting Early Metastatic Prostate Cancer in Men With High GC Decipher® Test Scores: A Sub-aim of the VANDAAM Study (MCC #18523)
Study ID: NCT03495427
Brief Summary: This study will enroll 60 patients previously enrolled to MCC#18523, "A Validation Study on the Impact of Decipher® Testing on Treatment Recommendations in African-American and Non-African American Men with Prostate Cancer: (VANDAAM)" that had high risk Decipher test results (Decipher score \>0.45). Patients with a high genomic classifier (GC) score at diagnosis will be approached for formal consenting for PSMA-PET imaging at 2 years post treatment.
Detailed Description: Normally, some patients with prostate cancer undergo imaging tests to determine the extent (spread) of their disease. These imaging tests often give good information, but not in all patients and not every time. This study deals with a new imaging test known as F-DCFPyL-Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Positron Emission Tomography (PET), or F-DCFPyL-PSMA PET. The objective of this study is to evaluate safety and usefulness of using F-DCFPyL in detecting recurrent/metastatic prostate cancer. The F-DCFPyL PET imaging technique is used in some parts of the world but is not currently standard imaging care. Better understanding how this new imaging test performs in identifying recurrent/metastatic prostate cancer may lead to better management of prostate cancer patients in the future.
