Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are men over 18 years old with high-risk Decipher test scores who have undergone radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are unable to undergo PET imaging due to comorbidities or claustrophobia may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of F-DCFPyL-PSMA PET imaging in detecting recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer in men who have previously participated in a related study and have high-risk Decipher test results. The study will enroll 60 patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy and have a Decipher score greater than 0.45. Participants will receive an injection of F-DCFPyL followed by PET imaging to assess the extent of their disease. The goal is to improve the management of prostate cancer by better identifying patients with recurrent disease.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved detection and management of recurrent metastatic prostate cancer in high-risk patients.

How similar studies have gone: While PSMA-PET imaging is used in some regions, this specific application in high-risk prostate cancer patients is relatively novel and not widely tested.
