Pilot Study for Detection of PSMA-Low CRPC-NE Tumors With Fluciclovine PET/CT
Sponsor: Brigham and Women's Hospital
Summary
This research study is studying a positron emission tomography (PET) agent called 18F-fluciclovine to evaluate how well 18F-fluciclovine-PET scans determine the extent of advanced prostate cancer that either has low prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression or has neuroendocrine features. The name of the study interventions are: * 18F-fluciclovine-PET/CT scan * Two research blood collections

Interventions
18F-fluciclovine
18F-fluciclovine is a radiotracer targeting amino-acid transporters.Radiotracers are compounds or drugs that are attached to small amounts of a radioactive substance to make images of processes that are happening in the body
PET/CT
Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers, a special camera and a computer to help evaluate organ and tissue functions.
