An Investigational Imaging Scan ([18F]DCFPyL PET/CT) in Monitoring Response to Treatment in Patients with Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies how well an investigational imaging scan called [18F]DCFPyL positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in monitoring response to treatment in patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). [18F]DCFPyL is a radioactive drug (tracer) that targets prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a protein found mostly on the surface of prostate tumor cells. Using [18F]DCFPyL with PET/CT scans may help doctors identify prostate cancer and its response to treatment.
