Using PSMA-PET imaging to find early metastatic prostate cancer in men with high Decipher test scores
Official title: The Utility of PSMA-PET Imaging for Detecting Early Metastatic Prostate Cancer in Men With High GC Decipher® Test Scores: A Sub-aim of the VANDAAM Study (MCC #18523)
Run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute · NCT03495427 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new type of imaging to see if it can help find early signs of recurring prostate cancer in men with high-risk test scores.

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.
