An Imaging Scan (18FrhPSMA-7.3 PSMA-PET-CT) for Tracking Response to Standard Treatment in Patients with Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase IV trial studies whether a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) scan using 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 is useful for determining how hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) responds to standard treatment. PSMA is a protein that is on the surface of most prostate cancers. An imaging test, called PSMA-PET-CT, can visualize prostate cancer non-invasively by picking up the PSMA protein on prostate cancers. 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 is a radiotracer that targets PSMA for imaging. 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 PET-CT is used to find prostate cancer when it is suspected the cancer has come back after initial therapy for localized disease (recurrent) or if prostate specific antigen (PSA) is rising. This may help to optimize treatment for patients. Imaging with 18FrhPSMA-7.3 PSMA-PET-CT may be effective at determining how metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) is responding to standard treatment.
