Biodistribution and Pharmacokinetic Study of 18F-DCFBC Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Based PET in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer
In brief
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. 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. The investigators 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.

You may not qualify if…
- Patients will be excluded from enrollment if any of the following apply:
- Karnovsky performance status of < 60
- Inadequate venous access (two antecubital or equivalent venous access sites are required for study drug injection and PK blood sampling, respectively)
- Patient received a permanent prostate brachytherapy implant within the last 3 months (for Pd-103 implants) or 12 months (for I-125 implants)
- Administered a radioisotope within 5 physical half-lives prior to study enrollment
- Serum creatinine > 3 times the upper limit of normal
