Title:
Phase 1 Biodistribution and Pharmacokinetic Study of 18F-DCFBC PSMA based PET in Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer
Protocol Number:
J1057
Phase:
NULL
Physician:
Steve Cho
Purpose:
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. Through early detection and improved local therapies a large number of men will be cured. The clinical needs include early detection, accurate initial staging and detection of local recurrence or metastases in order to permit application of the most appropriate therapy. Therapeutic monitoring and prognostic assessment are equally important. Imaging can play an important and crucial role in meeting these clinical needs.
Eligibility:
Patients with metastatic prostate caner 1. Greater than or equal to 18 years of age 2. Histological confirmation of prostate cancer 3. Radiologic evidence of new or progressive metastatic disease demonstrated on anatomical imaging (CT, MRI, or ultrasound), bone scintigraphy, 18F-Sodium Fluoride PET, or 18F-FDG PET 4. PSA greater than 1.0 ng/mL 5. Can be on androgen deprivation therapy if dose is stable for more than 1 week. 6. Platelet count greater than 50,000/mm3 7. Neutrophil count greater than 1,000/mm3 8. Patient is judged by the Investigator to have the initiative and means to be compliant with the protocol and be within geographical proximity to make the required study visits. 9. Patients or their legal representatives must have the ability to read, understand and provide written informed consent for the initiation of any study related procedures. cer
Treatment:
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has gained an important role in the clinical management of cancer patients. 18F-DCFBC is a novel low molecular weight prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-based radiopharmaceutical which is radiolabeled with a fluorine-18 positron emitter for PET imaging. Preclinical mouse prostate cancer tumor model imaging studies of 18F-DCFBC demonstrate high specific uptake in PSMA expressing prostate cancer cells. We will assess the hypothesis that 18F-DCFBC, a new positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical may possess pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties that will represent an advance in imaging prostate cancer. This initial phase I study will determine the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and prostate specific tumor uptake in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
