PHASE2

Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Imaging for Detection of Residual and Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This is a randomized, open-label, pilot study assessing the impact of a short course of bicalutamide on PSMA expression in patients with prostate cancer belonging to the intermediate unfavorable or high risk group, who have low levels of PSA. Adult patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BCR PCa) who have a PSA of less than 1.0 ng/mL and who have undergone complete prostatectomy and/or will be undergoing radiotherapy, in combination with standard of care bicalutamide, will be recruited to this study. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into Group A (baseline PSMA PET/CT only with bicalutamide standard of care) or Group B (baseline PSMA PET/CT and an additional PSMA PET/CT after 2 weeks of bicalutamide).

Interventions

DRUG

Bicalutamide

Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal androgen receptor inhibitor administered as a once a day pill taken orally. This is given as standard of care.

DEVICE

Prostate-specific membrane antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography

Patients will undergo prostate-specific membrane antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PSMA PET-CT) imaging. Each PSMA PET-CT session will consist of 5 minutes of dynamic imaging conducted via the Biograph Vision Quadra PET-CT, a whole-body PET-CT scanner.

DRUG

18F-rhPSMA-7.3

Radioactive diagnostic agent for intravenous use.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

PROSTest

PROSTest is a novel, blood-based qPCR assay that assesses gene expression to diagnose PCa and predict patient outcomes to different treatments.
