Summary

This study compares two different imaging procedures to each other, one using positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorothymidine F-18 (FLT) (FLT PET for short), and the other using chemical shift-encoded (CSE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CSE-MRI for short, to determine specifically if CSE-MRI is as accurate as FLT PET in telling the difference between active and inactive marrow. The best way to do the comparison between the two imaging procedures is if they are done at the same time on the same patient. This is possible with use of a scanner at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics (UW Health), the GE SIGNA PET/MR scanner. The prediction is that CSE-MRI as accurate as FLT at telling the difference between active and inactive marrow in patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and that is the primary reason for this study. 15 participants will be enrolled and on study for up to 14 months.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

3'-Deoxy-3'-[18F]-fluorothymidine

Within 29 days prior to 177Lu-PSMA RPT, participants will undergo 18F-FLT PET to assess proliferating bone marrow and CSE-MRI to generate a fat fraction map on a GE SIGNA PET/MR scanner. This is expected to last 2-3 hours. FLT injections will be administered one hour before imaging for tracer uptake. Participants will receive an IV injection of up to 10 mCi (370 MBq) of 18F-FLT. The patient will receive 1 CSE-MRI/FLT PET scan prior to the start of therapy.

DEVICE

Chemical-shift-encoded MRI

Within 29 days prior to 177Lu-PSMA RPT, participants will undergo 18F-FLT PET to assess proliferating bone marrow and CSE-MRI to generate a fat fraction map on a GE SIGNA PET/MR scanner. This is expected to last 2-3 hours. The patient will receive 1 CSE-MRI/FLT PET scan prior to the start of therapy. Up to 3 CSE-MRI scans will be completed as part of this study. At the physician's discretion, a single standard of care (SOC) mid-treatment PSMA PET/MRI can be performed any time during cycles 2-4, and a SOC post-treatment can be done within 6 months of final treatment. CSE-MRI will be acquired during these scans.
