The overall goal of this research is to validate and develop a non-invasive imaging biomarker
of prostate cancer detection, progression, and recurrence. Development of such a biomarker
may be useful to differentiate indolent from aggressive prostate cancer phenotypes allowing
for selection of an appropriate risk adaptive therapy.

The investigators will evaluate a novel second-generation low-molecular-weight prostate
specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-based positron emission tomography (PET) agent, 18F-DCFPyL,
for detection of primary and metastatic prostate cancer. 18F-DCFPyL PET demonstrates very
high tumor-to-background and tumor specific uptake which may allow for a more sensitive and
accurate method for detection of early tumor recurrence and metastatic disease as compared to
current PET radiotracers and current standard-of-care imaging including 99mTc-methylene
diphosphonate bone scintigraphy (bone scan), contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators propose to evaluate this PET agent for
three different prostate cancer clinical scenarios: (1) detection of clinically significant
high-grade prostate cancer and initial staging, (2) detection of sites of recurrence in the
setting of biochemical recurrence after definitive prostatectomy, and (3) detection of
advanced androgen-resistant metastatic prostate cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Prostate cancer pathologically proven by prostate biopsy (newly diagnosed for
sub-study #1)

- Prostate biopsy histology grade ≥ Gleason 6, positive biopsy >2 cores.

- PSA > 0.2 ng/mL for Sub-study #2 or >1.0 ng/mL for Sub-study #3

- Patients considered as candidates for and medically fit to undergo prostatectomy

- At least 7 days after most recent prostate biopsy

- Imaging evidence of suspected metastatic disease, including CT, bone scan, MRI,
ultrasound or other PET modalities (Sub-study #3 only)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior pelvic external beam radiation therapy or brachytherapy

- Chemotherapy for prostate cancer

- Hormone deprivation therapy

- Investigational therapy for prostate cancer

- Unable to lie flat during or tolerate PET/CT

- Prior history of any other malignancy within the last 2 years, other than skin basal
cell or cutaneous superficial squamous cell carcinoma that has not metastasized and
superficial bladder cancer.

- No prostatectomy scheduled more than 12 hours post imaging

- Serum creatinine > 2 time the upper limit of normal

- Total bilirubin > 3 times the upper limit of normal

- Liver Transaminases > 5 times the upper limit of normal
