Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

This prospective study will enroll up to 330 men with PSA-persistent or PSA-recurrent prostate cancer after curative-intent primary therapy and negative or equivocal findings on standard-of-care imaging. Consenting participants will be imaged with 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT. Site clinicians will manage study subjects per standard practices and will document any change in treatment based on review of 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT findings. All participants will be followed for up to 6 months, with clinical data collected for this study. An interdisciplinary panel will provide expert guidance to local readers on request. The final reporting of the PET/CT scan will be a single report by the local reader following any such discussion.

Interventions

Subjects will undergo a fluciclovine F18 PET/CT scan in addition to standard of care monitoring. The results of this scan may influence further treatment

Inclusion criteria

* History of histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate post curative-intent local treatment (radical prostatectomy, local radiotherapy, brachytherapy). * Suspicion of recurrent prostate carcinoma after previous presumed definitive therapy for organ confined disease defined as : * Post prostatectomy: Detectable or rising PSA level that is \>0.2 ng/mL with a second confirmatory level of \>0.2 ng/mL * Post non-prostatectomy: PSA rise ≥ 2ng/mL over nadir * Negative or equivocal findings on standard-of-care imaging for restaging of disease in the previous 60 days consisting of: Whole-body 99mTc bone scintigraphy or NaF PET-CT; and either CT or MRI of the pelvis (or the abdomen and pelvis). * Being considered for salvage therapy * Any non-surgical local treatment such as previous cryotherapy, external beam radiation, or HiFU (Ultrasound) must have occurred at least 1 year in the past. * Previous brachytherapy treatment will have occurred at least 2 years in the past * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

* Ongoing treatment with any systemic therapy intended for the treatment of prostate cancer (e.g., antiandrogen or LHRH agonist or antagonist) * Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in the past 3 months * History of bilateral orchidectomy * Inability to tolerate 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT

Outcome results

Primary

The Fraction of Patients for Whom 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT Alters Patient Planned Treatment Through Detection of Disease.

The change of management will be based on referring physician questionnaires completed pre- and post- 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT

Time frame: 2-22 days post PET CT

Population: For the primary analysis population, of the 213 patients included in the EAS, 122 patients with a positive 18F-fluciclovine scan and 91 patients with a negative 18F-fluciclovine scan had a pre 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT treatment management plan.
