Can a 2-week drug boost scan accuracy for hidden prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT07593079
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether taking bicalutamide for two weeks can make PSMA PET/CT scans better at finding small amounts of prostate cancer that standard scans might miss. It involves 20 men with recurrent prostate cancer and very low PSA levels. Participants are randomly assigned to have one scan or two scans (before and after bicalutamide) to compare detection rates.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed biochemically recurrent prostate cancer, with original diagnosis no more than 2 years from date of consent. * Intermediate unfavorable or high-risk prostate cancer. * All patients under consideration for radiation therapy, either at the time of first recurrence or in salvage radiation therapy will be included. * Patients who have started bicalutamide up to a maximum of 3 days prior to randomization will be allowed to be on protocol. Otherwise, a washout period of at least 42 days will be required. * Biological males, at least 18 years of age. * Prostate specific antigen (PSA) \< 1.0 ng/mL. * Agreement to adhere to Lifestyle Considerations throughout study duration * Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients currently on androgen deprivation therapy (ADTs). * Currently receiving any other investigational agents. * A history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to POSLUMA, furosemide, bicalutamide, or other agents used in the study.
