Flotufolastat F 18 PET in Men With Very Low PSA Recurrence
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to assess detection rate of flotufolastat F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) for low prostate specific antigen (PSA) recurrence of prostate cancer (PC) following radical prostatectomy.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Participants must have a history of localized histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate and have received radical prostatectomy (RP) with curative intent.
- Participants must have measurable disease, defined as a non-zero PSA value post-RP that is concerning for biochemically recurrent or persistent disease, is ≤0.20 ng/mL, and obtained within 60 days of PET/CT.
- At least 6 weeks must have elapsed after RP. If previously taking ADT, it should have been discontinued at least 16 weeks prior to PET.
- Participants with a clinical flotufolastat F 18 PSMA PET/CT scan prescribed as part of the standard of care management.
- Age ≥18 years.
- Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion criteria
- Participants currently receiving ADT (defined as surgical orchidectomy; luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone \[LHRH\] agonist alone \[continuous or intermittent\]; LHRH antagonist alone \[continuous or intermittent\]; administration or use of a first or second generation anti-androgen alone or in combination with an LHRH agonist/antagonist).
- Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents for this condition within five biological half-lives prior to administration of flotufolastat F 18.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to flotufolastat F 18 or other agents used in study.
- Participants receiving any of the following substances will be considered ineligible: x-ray contrast agent \<24 hours prior to the flotufolastat F 18 PET and any other PET imaging agent within 24 hours or 10 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the flotufolastat F 18 PET/CT. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the participant will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the participant is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
