This clinical trial investigates the change in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression in response to hormonal therapy in both, Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer (CSPC) and Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC), and whether this change in PSMA expression changes tumor staging after therapy initiation. Understanding these effects can help define the best timing to perform the PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) relative to the start of therapy.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the early effects (at day 8) of hormonal therapy on PSMA modulation in patients with castration sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC) and castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the effects of hormonal therapy on PSMA modulation at day 28 post-therapy in patients with CSPC and CRPC II. To evaluate whether the change in PSMA modulation after hormonal therapy initiation changes the tumor staging on PSMA PET as defined by the PROMISE V2 criteria. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether the initial change in PSMA modulation in response to hormonal therapy holds prognostic implications II. To assess for potential correlation between the early change in PSMA modulation and tumor characteristics such as Gleason score, and site of disease. III. To assess whether the baseline level of PSMA uptake holds prognostic implications in response to hormonal therapy OUTLINE: Patients will be divided (non-randomized) into 2 groups (CRPC or CSPC) and receive PSMA PET prior to start of therapy (standard of care), then again 8 days and 28 days after initiation of hormonal therapy. Participants will be followed for up to 5 years.

RECRUITINGChange in maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on post-therapy initiation PSMA PET (8 ± 2 days) compared to baseline.
Evaluate the change in SUVmax between baseline and Day 8 using a paired t-test to determine how hormonal therapy affects the PSMA modulation.
Time frame: Baseline PSMA PET up to 8 days after therapy initiation
Change in SUVmax on post-therapy initiation PSMA PET (28 ± 3 days) compared to baseline.
Evaluate the change in SUVmax between baseline and Day 28 using a paired t-test to determine how hormonal therapy affects the PSMA modulation.
Time frame: Baseline PSMA PET up to 28 days after therapy initiation
Number of patients in whom the tumor staging changed on PSMA PET scans obtained post-therapy initiation relative to baseline PET scan
Time frame: Baseline PSMA PET up to 28 days after therapy initiation
