An Investigational Scan (POSLUMA-PSMA PET) for Detecting Treatment Response, Disease Recurrence, and Guiding Radiation Treatment in Patients with Oligometastatic or Oligoprogressive Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer, PROMPT-R Trial

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial evaluates an imaging technique (flotufolastat F18 [POSLUMA] prostate-specific membrane antigen [PSMA] positron emission tomography [PET]) for detecting treatment response, disease recurrence, and guiding radiation treatment in patients with prostate cancer that needs androgens (male hormones) to grow and therefore stops growing when androgens are not present (castration-sensitive) and that was recently found to have spread to fewer than 5 sites outside the pelvis (newly diagnosed oligometastatic) or previous history of prostate cancer that has spread to fewer than 5 sites outside the pelvis (oligoprogressive). Contrast agents like POSLUMA circulate in the blood until they find their intended target. Once they are taken up by the target tumor cells, they can be visualized using PET. A PET scan is a procedure in which a small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the glucose is taken up. Because tumor cells often take up more glucose than normal cells, the pictures can be used to find tumor cells in the body. Combining the new radiotracer POSLUMA with previous PSMA-PET imaging may potentially improve the accuracy in how researchers look for potential disease recurrence.
