Brief summary

Hypothesis:Anti-\[18F\]FACBC PET-CT will adequately detect local and extraprostatic recurrence, and lead to better characterization of disease status in restaging patients. This is a study that will test a compound (chemical substance) that has a small amount of radioactivity attached to it. This substance has a natural tendency to go to prostate tissue. The substance is called \[18\]FACBC and it is given in the form of an injection into a vein. After the substance reaches the prostate, scans called PET or Positron Emission Tomography, are done. This is similar to having CAT scans or x-rays. Usually a compound called \[18\]FDG is used for PET scans but this substance is eliminated by the kidneys and cannot reach the prostate. This substance called \[18\]FACBC is not eliminated by the kidneys and may allow tumors in the prostate to be seen better. It is sometimes difficult to tell if a growth on the prostate is cancer with scans or x-rays that are usually done. Anti-\[18F\]FACBC PET-CT will be compared to ProstaScint (In-capromab pendetide) which is the conventional imaging for prostate cancer. Investigators will be blinded of the intervention. This study will look at how the \[18\]FACBC goes into the prostate tissue and determine its ability to detect recurrent prostate cancer.

Interventions

DRUGFACBC

Anti-3-\[18F\]FACBC is an investigational positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer being studies given intravenously prior to PET scan

OTHERProstaScinct

ProstaScint (In-Capromab Pendetide) is used to image the extent of prostate cancer in standard practice. Capromab is a mouse monoclonal antibody which recognizes prostate specific membrane antigen from prostate cancer cells and normal prostate tissue. It is given intravenously prior to undergoing CT imaging.

Inclusion criteria

STUDY NOW CLOSED for recruitment Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be 18 years of age or older. * Patients will have been originally diagnosed with localized (Stage T1c, T2, or T3 ) prostate carcinoma and have undergone what was considered definitive therapy for localized disease. * In the case of brachytherapy, cryotherapy, or external beam radiation, treatment will have occurred at least 2 years in the past to eliminate patients with so-called PSA bump. * Patient will have suspicion of recurrent prostate carcinoma as defined by: ASTRO criteria of three consecutive rises of PSA or earlier if clinically appropriate, and/or nadir + 2.0 after radiotherapy, and/or greater than 0.3 after prostatectomy. * Ability to lie still for PET scanning * Patients must be able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

* Age less than 18. * Greater than T3 disease in past * Prior prostatectomy or 2 years since brachytherapy, cryotherapy, or external beam radiation therapy. * Does not meet above criteria of suspicious PSA elevation * Inability to lie still for PET scanning * Cannot provide written informed consent. * Bone scan findings characteristic for metastatic prostate carcinoma * Less than 2 months since any prior prostate biopsy (to decrease false positive uptake from inflammation).
