Experimental: 18F-DCFPyL Injection & 18F-NaF
A bolus of ~9 mCi (333 MBq) of 18F-DCFPyL injected by slow IV push. A dose of 5 mCi 18F-NaF is injected through the IV and followed by at least 10 ml of saline to flush the IV line of the remaining dose

Drug: 18F-DCFPyL Injection Drug: 18F-NaF |
- Comparison of DCFPyL- PET/CT (or PET/MRI imaging) to NaF-PET/CT [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Compare the diagnostic accuracy during visit 2 18F-DCFPyL imaging and visit 3 NaF imaging
- Estimation of new or progressive metastatic lesions found on NaF and 18F-DCFPyL [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Compare proportion of new or progressive metastatic lesions found on NaF-PET/CT that are DCFPyL- PET/CT (or PET/MRI imaging if available) positive, and vice-versa.

Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histological confirmation of prostate cancer
- Radiologic evidence of new or progressive metastatic disease demonstrated on anatomical imaging (CT, MRI, or ultrasound), bone scintigraphy, [18F]Sodium Fluoride PET, and/or [18F]FDG PET
- Rising PSA on two observations taken at least 1 week apart
- Adequate peripheral venous access or available central venous catheter access for radiopharmaceutical administration
- Patient can remain on androgen deprivation therapy if on the same regimen prior to documentation of progressive metastatic disease
- Patient cannot start a new therapy for prostate cancer prior to study radiopharmaceutical imaging
- Patient is judged by the Investigator to have the initiative and means to be compliant with the protocol and be within geographical proximity to make the required study visits
- Patients or their legal representatives must have the ability to read, understand and provide written informed consent for the initiation of any study related procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient has been treated with an investigational drug, investigational biologic, or investigational therapeutic device within 14 days prior to study radiotracer administration
- Prior radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or androgen-deprivation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study radiotracer administration (Washout is one half-life of the drug or 2 weeks, whichever is longest)
- Initiation of new therapy for progressive metastatic disease since radiographic documentation of progression.
