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

This a prospective, randomized, phase 2 clinical trial. We will enroll patients who underwent mpMRI of the prostate as part of their standard clinical care, have PI-RADS 4, or 5 lesion(s) on mpMRI, and are scheduled to undergo fusion guided prostate biopsy. Subjects that sign the consent form will be randomized to undergo DCFPyL PET/CT imaging or no PSMA PET imaging prior to the prostate biopsy. In the PSMA scan cohort, decision for biopsy targets will be made based on the combination of the findings of mpMRI and PSMA scans. In the no PSMA scan (control) group, the biopsy will be performed based on mpMRI findings. Each patient will undergo 12 core systematic biopsy as the standard of care. Two additional biopsies for each mpMRI and PSMA PET and overlap lesion will also performed.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with PI-RADS 4-5 lesion(s) on mpMRI and have elected to undergo a prostate biopsy
  • Prostate mpMRI completed within 9 months prior to enrollment
  • Patient capable of providing written informed consent
  • Patient willing to be randomized to prostate mpMRI only vs prostate mpMRI + DCFPyL PET/CT

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Less than 18 years-old at the time of radiotracer administration
  • Medical condition, serious concurrent illness, or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may significantly interfere with study procedures or compliance.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: PSMA PET+mpMRI
PSMA PET+mpMRI guided prostate biopsy
Diagnostic test: PSMA PET scan
Subjects will undergo DCFPyL PET/CT imaging and mpMRI imaging prior to the prostate biopsy. The decision for biopsy targets will be made based on the combination of the findings of mpMRI and PSMA scans. The intervention includes a mpMRI, a PSMA PET scan, and a prostate biopsy.
Other Names:
  • DCFPyL PET/CT imaging
Drug: 18F- DCFPyl Injection
DCFPyL is a PSMA imaging ligand that was developed to enhance the detection of small lesions in the prostate or other pelvic areas. 18F- DCFPyl Injection will be administered prior to the PSMA PET/CT via an in-dwelling catheter placed in an antecubital vein or an equivalent venous access under the direct supervision of study personnel.
Other Names:
  • DCFPyl
Active Comparator: mpMRI only
mpMRI only guided prostate biopsy
Other: No PSMA PET
Subjects will undergo mpMRI imaging prior to the prostate biopsy. These subjects do not undergo a PSMA PET scan prior to the prostate biopsy. The decision for biopsy targets will be made based on the findings of mpMRI. The intervention includes a mpMRI and a prostate biopsy.

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

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.
