About this study

This is a prospective, multi-institutional, Phase 4 study to assess change in management (CIM) following fluciclovine (18F) imaging in participants with prostate cancer who have a negative or equivocal prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) scan at the time of any biochemical recurrence (BCR)

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants must be males aged ≥18 years at Screening.
  • Participants with suspected BCR of prostate cancer (see Inclusion Criterion #3 below) following prior curative intent treatment and a negative or equivocal PSMA PET scan with any FDA-approved PSMA PET tracer (must be within 45 days prior to Visit 2 [fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT scan]), regardless of findings on conventional imaging.
  • Participants suspicious for a biochemically recurrent prostate cancer with a detectable or rising PSA after definitive therapy on the basis of: Post-radical prostatectomy (with or without adjuvant or salvage radiation therapy): PSA that is ≥0.2 ng/mL (completed >6 weeks after surgery) or Post-radiation therapy (with or without ADT): Increase in PSA level that is ≥2.0 ng/mL above the nadir PSA level and rising PSA is confirmed on consecutive PSA determinations.
  • Men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), must agree to use a highly effective method(s) of contraception for 24 hours post-fluciclovine (18F) injection.
  • Participants must provide written informed consent before any study-specific procedures or interventions are performed.
  • Ability of the participants to comply with planned study procedures

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants with known metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.
  • Participants with any medical condition (including intercurrent illness and uncontrolled serious infection) or circumstance (including receiving an IP) that the investigator believes may compromise the data collected or lead to a failure to comply with the study requirements.
  • Participants who are planned to have an x-ray contrast agent or any other PET radiotracer within five physical half-lives of the first PET radionuclide prior to the study fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT scan.
  • Participants participating in an interventional clinical trial within 30 days and having received an IP five physical half-lives prior to the study fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT scan.
  • Participants with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of fluciclovine (18F).
  • Participants who have received salvage therapy for the current episode of BCR.
  • Participants who initiate cancer treatment (systemic or radiation therapy) or who have started any supplements or herbal medications intended to treat cancer between the PSMA PET and fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT scans.

Treatment and study plan

fluciclovine (18F)

Drug

fluciclovine (18F) injection, 370 MBq (10 mCi) ± 20%, delivered as an intravenous bolus.

Other names: Axumin

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants with any recorded Change In Management following a fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT scan.

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days

Secondary outcomes

  1. For those participants with a change in management (CIM), percentage of participants with a recorded minor or major CIM following a fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT scan.

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days

  2. For those participants with a CIM, summary of the CIM groups following a fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT scan.

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days

  3. Participant-level and region-level (prostate bed, pelvic lymph nodes [PLNs], other) detection rates.

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days

  4. Participant-level and region-level (prostate bed, PLNs, other) detection rates stratified by PSA levels.

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days

  5. Percentage of participants with any recorded CIM following a positive/negative fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days

  6. Percentage of participants with a recorded minor or major CIM following a positive/negative fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days

  7. For those participants with a CIM, summary of CIM groups following a positive/negative fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT

    Time frame: fluciclovine (18F) on Day 1, At least 24 hours after the piflufolastat (18F) scan, but within 30 calendar days
