Summary

This trial is testing a new way to image prostate cancer in order to better understand how to treat it. Patients will receive an injection and then have a PET/CT scan. A panel of experts will review the images to see if they can better understand how to manage the disease.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with prostate cancer and signs of advanced disease, like bone pain or high PSA levels. They must be able to lie still for a PET/CT scan and fit within the machine's size limits. Those with severe claustrophobia, unstable health conditions, or who exceed the weight or size capacity for the PET/CT equipment cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well an imaging drug called 18F-DCFPyL works in detecting prostate cancer spread when used during a PET/CT scan. The goal is to see if this method changes doctors' decisions about patient care compared to standard methods.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site, discomfort from lying still during scanning, and possible allergic reactions to the imaging agent.
