What this Trial Is About
This is a Phase 2 clinical study of hyperpolarized (HP) 13C-pyruvate (13C), 15N-urea (13C,15N) metabolic MR imaging in prostate cancer patients who are undergoing or have received radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate
- Participants post-radiation therapy or considering external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) (Part 1)
- Participants scheduled for EBRT without planned neo-adjuvant therapy (Part 2A)
- Participants with high-risk prostate cancer (tumor stage T3 or T4, Gleason score 8-10, or PSA 60 ng/mL) scheduled for EBRT and planned androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonist or antagonist; androgen-receptor signaling inhibitors allowed (Part 2B)
- Participants previously treated with radiation and showing biochemical failure with planned fusion biopsy within 12 weeks of baseline HP 13C MRI (Part 3)
- Able and willing to comply with study procedures and provide informed consent
- ECOG performance status 61
- Age 18 years or older
- Adequate organ function: WBC 64000 cells/bcL, Hemoglobin 69.0 gm/dL, Platelets 675,000 cells/bcL, Renal function eGFR > 30
You will not qualify if you...
- Evidence of pelvic regional or distant metastatic disease on conventional or PSMA PET imaging (except PSMA-avid lymph nodes <1 cm confined to pelvis)
- Prostate biopsy within 14 days before baseline HP 13C pyruvate MRI
- Poorly controlled hypertension (blood pressure >160 mm Hg systolic or >100 mm Hg diastolic) at study entry
- Contraindications or inability to tolerate MRI with endorectal coil (e.g., severe claustrophobia, cardiac pacemaker, aneurysm clip, severe hemorrhoids, rectal stricture)
- Congestive heart failure with NYHA status 62
- History of significant ECG abnormalities including QT prolongation, family history of prolonged QT syndrome, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before study entry
