Brief Title: 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI in Evaluating Patients With Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Official Title: 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI in the Evaluation of Patients With Prostate Cancer: A Feasibility Study
Study ID: NCT02488070
Brief Summary: This clinical trial studies gallium-68 (68Ga)-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) (gallium Ga 68-labeled PSMA ligand Glu-urea-Lys\[Ahx\]) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying prostate cancer that may have returned after a period of improvement (biochemical recurrence). 68Ga-PSMA is a radiopharmaceutical that localizes to a specific prostate cancer receptor, which can then be imaged by the PET/CT or PET/MRI scanner.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the feasibility and biodistribution of 68Ga-PSMA. OUTLINE: Patients are injected with 5 mCi of Ga68 PSMA intravenously (IV) and then undergo PET/CT or PET/MRI approximately 45 to 60 minutes later. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24 hours and 1 week.
