Evaluation of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Active Surveillance for Prostate CancEr

ESCAPE - Evaluation of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Active Surveillance for Prostate CancEr


Sponsor

Weill Medical College of Cornell University

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Feb 26, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study will be assessing the ability of PSMA-PET CT to determine the absence of clinically significant prostate cancer in patients on active surveillance (AS) with low risk and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer.


Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating whether a specialized type of PET scan called PSMA-PET CT can improve how doctors monitor low-risk prostate cancer during active surveillance — a watchful waiting approach where the cancer is tracked but not immediately treated. The hope is that this scan can detect any significant changes earlier than standard testing. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a male aged 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with low or favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer (confirmed by biopsy) - Your PSA level is below 20 ng/mL - You are willing to undergo yearly PSMA-PET CT scans, MRI, and prostate biopsies - You are committed to active surveillance rather than immediate treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had prior treatment for prostate cancer - You have had systemic therapy (e.g., hormone therapy) for prostate cancer - You are unable to undergo the required imaging or biopsies - Your life expectancy is less than 10 years - Your cancer was diagnosed more than 15 months ago Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
