About this trial
This a single-center, prospective, exploratory study. Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) scheduled to undergo Lutetium labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen radioligand therapy (LuPSMA RLT) at the West Los Angeles VA (WLA-VA) will be imaged with a baseline F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography 18F-FDG PET/CT and a 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT (18F-DCFPyL (2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-\[(6-18F-fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino\]-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioic acid)positron emission tomography/computed tomography , as per standard of care in our institution. All patients further undergo eventual follow-up prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) after the 2nd, 4th, and 6th LuPSMA RLT cycle. In this prospective study, an18F-Fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( Axumin PET/CT )will be additionally obtained at baseline (pre-LuPSMA RLT), and after the 2nd, 4th, 6th LuPSMA RLT cycles. Axumin PET/CT will be acquired within 7 days from the PSMA PET.
This study is open to Veterans only.

18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Scan
DrugIn this prospective study, an 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT will be additionally obtained at baseline (pre-LuPSMA RLT), and after the 2nd, 4th, 6th LuPSMA RLT cycles.18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT will be acquired within 7 days from the PSMA PET.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Impact on Predicting Clinical Outcome of 177Lu-PSMA-617 Therapy in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Whole-body and lesion-level SUVmean, SUVmax. SUVmax, or maximum standardized uptake value, is a measurement used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans to quantify how much glucose a tumor is metabolizing.
Secondary outcomes
Usefulness of Tumor Heterogeneity Assessment in Patients in Patients With MCRPC Undergoing Radioligand Therapy With 177LU-PSMA-617 Using Serial 18F-DCFPYL, 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Predicting Clinical Outcome.
Tumor volume on FDG, Axumin and DCFPyL PET/CT. Tumor volume is the amount of space a tumor occupies, measured in cubic centimeters (cc).
Other outcomes
Usefulness of Tumor Heterogeneity Assessment in Patients in Patients With MCRPC Undergoing Radioligand Therapy With 177LU-PSMA-617 Using Serial 18F-DCFPYL, 18F-FDG and 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Predicting Clinical Outcome.
Percentage change in Whole-body and lesion-level SUVmean, SUVmax and tumor volume on FDG, Axumin and DCFPyL PET/CT pre- and post LuPSMA therapy. A "percentage change" refers to the calculated percentage difference between a initial value ( pre LuPSMA ) and a later measurement ( post LuPSMA ), essentially showing how much the tumor has grown or shrunk compared to its baseline size.
