PSMA-PET Imaging for Detecting Early Metastatic Prostate Cancer in Men w/ High Decipher Test Scores

February 26, 2026 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

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)

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.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Concordance (AUC) Between High Tumor GC Risk Score and Positive PSMA-PET Imaging Findings
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
To estimate the concordance between tumor GC risk score and early metastatic disease using PSMA-PET imaging.
Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of Positive PSMA-PET Findings
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
5-yr positive PSMA-PET findings in men with high GC score. At the end of the study (5 years), cumulative incidence of positive metastasis on PSMA-PET imaging will be calculated.
