View original scientific description
The impact of fluciclovine (18F) PET on the management of participants with prostate cancer following negative or equivocal PSMA PET Imaging at the time of biochemical recurrence
Interventions
DRUG
fluciclovine (18F)
fluciclovine (18F) injection, 370 MBq (10 mCi) ± 20%, delivered as an intravenous bolus.
Primary outcome measures
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
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 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.

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.
