18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT for the Detection of Metastatic PSMA-Low Castration Resistant and Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase IV trial studies how well 18F-fluciclovine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in detecting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-low castration resistant and neuroendocrine prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). PSMA is a protein found on the surface of some prostate cancers and can be detected by PSMA imaging scans. Prostate cancers can have different levels of PSMA. 18F-fluciclovine is a radioactive drug used to measure tumor growth. PET/CT uses x-rays to take pictures inside the body. 18F-fluciclovine PET-CT imaging scans may help doctors detect and determine the extent of metastatic PSMA-low castration resistant and neuroendocrine prostate cancer in the body.
