This phase I trial studies how well fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in measuring PARP-1 expression in patients with prostate cancer. Fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace PET/CT may help doctors to better understand the function of PARP-1 and determine the best way to use imaging to help study new treatments that target the PARP-1 enzyme.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT03334500.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate PARP-1 activity in prostate cancer using measures of uptake of Fluorine F 18 Fluorthanatrace ([18F]FluorThanatrace).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Correlate [18F]FluorThanatrace uptake measures with standard criteria for tumor aggressiveness (e.g. Gleason score).
II. Correlate [18F]FluorThanatrace uptake measures with PARP-1 activity in the biopsy and/or surgical specimen.
III. Evaluate the safety of [18F]FluorThanatrace.
IV. Correlate [18F]FluorThanatrace uptake measures with PARP-1 [125I]KX1 autoradiography activity in the surgical specimen.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace intravenously (IV) and undergo PET/CT scan over 3 hours.
After completion of study, patients will be followed up periodically.
