This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of pafolacianine sodium (Cytalux [trademark]) with near infrared (NIR) imaging that takes place during surgery (intraoperative) in patients undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. Cytalux is an imaging agent substance that is injected into the body to make specific tissues around it stand out using special equipment, in this case, a special light source. The special light source is called near infrared fluorescent imaging. Cytalux is designed to bind to the prostate cancer cells, and this makes them “glow” under the NIR light, making it easier to detect and remove the prostate cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the extent to which pafolacianine used with NIR fluorescent imaging improves the detection of malignant tissue in adult subjects undergoing prostatectomy and lymph node dissection for biopsy confirmed prostate cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the sensitivity and specificity for pafolacianine used with NIR light with respect to the detection of primary and metastatic cancer.
II. To evaluate the proportion of subjects whose surgical procedure changed in scope from the planned surgery based on the use of pafolacianine with NIR imaging.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the ability of pafolacianine imaging to detect prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) negative lesions in subjects with available PSMA-PET.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive Cytalux intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes between 1 and 24 hours prior to imaging. Patients then undergo NIR imaging during their standard of care surgery.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 weeks.
