A study of prospective monitoring of patients with recurrent prostate cancer using serial PSMA imaging (18F-DCFPyL).

TPS5101 Background: 18F-DCFPyL PSMA PET imaging is now FDA approved for patients with high-risk prostate cancer and those with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BCR). BCR has been traditionally defined as a rising PSA after definitive surgery and/or radiation have not been curative in patients without tumor findings on a CT or Tc99 bone scan. There are an estimated 25,000-50,000 new cases of BCR in the US annually. BCR patients are usually managed conservatively, often with surveillance since there is no data demonstrating interventions improve survival. Although 18F-DCFPyL will be able to detect disease at the micrometastatic/subclinical level, there is limited prospective data on how these patients should be managed. While great enthusiasm exists to utilize radiation or ADT-based regimens extrapolated from a more advanced disease state, the natural history of subclinical disease seen on 18F-DCFPyL remains unclear (Madan RA et al. J Clin Oncol 2022). Methods: The primary objective of this study is to monitor patients with recurrent prostate cancer to learn about the natural history of 18F-DCFPyL PET positive disease in this patient population. Eligible patients include those who have had prior definitive surgery or radiation, current PSA ≥0.50 ng/mL, testosterone > 100 ng/mL, no evidence of soft tissue disease on CT scan/MRI and no bone lesions on bone scan. Patients will undergo initial imaging with 18F-DCFPyL scans. Those with negative findings on the initial scan will have annual repeat 18F-DCFPyL scans. Patients with positive initial scans will be scanned every 6 months. All patients will have PSA testing every 3 months and will undergo annual CT and Tc99 bone scans. Up to 250 patients will be followed for 5 years or until off-study criteria is met (including new findings on CT/bone scans consistent with metastatic disease or continuous systemic prostate cancer therapy for more than 6 months). In addition to monitoring the imaging changes, we will evaluate patterns of progression on 18F-DCPyL scans over time, analyze PSA doubling time in context of 18F-DCFPyL changes and evaluate circulating biomarkers.
