C11-Sodium Acetate PET/CT Imaging for Metastatic Disease in Intermediate-to-high Risk Prostate Adenocarcinoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Positron emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate (AC-PET) may help find local or distant metastases from prostate cancer. This clinical trial is studying how this imaging test may help influence the choice and extent of initial treatments, and subsequent treatments.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
-
Determine the role of positron emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate (AC-PET) in the initial and subsequent management of patients with prostate cancer at intermediate or high risk for recurrence after initial curative therapy.
-
Compare the value of AC-PET in predicting recurrence of prostate cancer with that of conventional approaches (e.g., pre-operative clinical staging, prostate-specific antigen, Gleason score, prostate and lymph node histology) in these patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Tissue Biopsy of metastatic site(s) [Assessed within 30 days following AC-PET]
Patients will undergo needle biopsy of positive metastatic findings on C11- Acetate PET/CT
Secondary Outcome Measures
- PSA (prostate specific antigen) [Each 3 - 6 months for 24 months]
PSA (prostate specific antigen) will be monitored per routine clinical follow-up
