Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Men with a history of prostate cancer may be in this study. Subjects recommended for a prostatectomy or oligometastectomy will undergo PET/CT imaging using a novel radiotracer \[18F\]FTT to evaluate PARP-1 activity in known or suspected sites of primary or metastatic disease. Imaging will be compared with pathology results, including additional research assays when possible.

Eligibility Criteria

Men over 18 with biopsy-proven prostate cancer, who have at least one tumor lesion of 1 cm or larger. They must be recommended for a prostatectomy or oligometastectomy and willing to provide tissue samples for research. Excluded are those unable to tolerate imaging, with serious health/psychological issues, or unable to give informed consent.
