Summary

This trial offers access to PET/CT scans to detect prostate cancer in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, using a small amount of radioactive tracer (68Ga-PSMA-11) that binds to the cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer who are under care at Mayo Clinic and considered for PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy. They must not have had a reimbursable 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scan, be above 18 years old, and able to consent and remain still during imaging.
What is being tested?
The study tests the use of a radioactive tracer in PET/CT scans to detect prostate cancer lesions. It involves using Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide (68Ga-PSMA-11) which attaches to cancer cells, combined with CT imaging to screen patients before they receive targeted radionuclide therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the injection of the radioactive tracer such as mild pain or discomfort at the injection site. The radiation exposure from PET/CT is low but carries a small risk of contributing to future cancer risk.
