Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot clinical trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other placed in the body. Gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE PET/CT may help doctors to identify those patients with early neuroendocrine transdifferentiation and who are at greater risk for poor outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Establish the feasibility of using gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE (68Ga-DOTATATE) PET as a predictive imaging biomarker for neuroendocrine transdifferentiation in prostate cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

Correlate progression of disease with degree of uptake on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET examination.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE intravenously (IV). Within 55-70 minutes, patients undergo PET/CT.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for at least 1 year.
