Evaluation of the Change in PSMA Expression in Prostate Cancer in Response to Hormonal Therapy

Modulation of PSMA Expression in Castration Sensitive and Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer in Response to Hormonal Therapy


Sponsor

OHSU Knight Cancer Institute

Enrollment

80 participants

Start Date

Jun 25, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This clinical trial investigates the change in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression in response to hormonal therapy in both, Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer (CSPC) and Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC), and whether this change in PSMA expression changes tumor staging after therapy initiation. Understanding these effects can help define the best timing to perform the PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) relative to the start of therapy.


Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is using a specialized imaging scan called a PSMA PET scan to track changes in prostate cancer before and after starting hormone therapy. PSMA is a protein found on prostate cancer cells that lights up on this scan. By taking two scans — one before and one after hormone treatment begins — researchers hope to learn how hormone therapy changes the cancer's biology, which could help doctors make better treatment decisions in the future. **You may be eligible if:** - You are a man aged 18 or older with confirmed prostate cancer - Your cancer shows uptake on an initial PSMA PET scan - You are about to start hormone therapy within 8 weeks - You fall into one of two groups: castration-resistant prostate cancer (cancer that has returned despite hormone suppression) or castration-sensitive prostate cancer (not yet treated with hormone suppression) **You may NOT be eligible if:** - Your cancer does not show uptake on PSMA PET imaging - You are not planning to start hormone therapy - You have already received certain hormone-blocking drugs recently (depending on which group applies to you) - Your life expectancy is less than 3 months Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
