DamiettaAges 18–70 - NCT06044857RecruitingPhase 1
PSMA PET-guided radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for high-risk prostate cancer. Doctors will use a special PET scan (PSMA PET) to find the main tumor inside the prostate and give it a stronger dose of radiation, along with standard hormone therapy. This approach might improve outcomes for patients with aggressive disease.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT02740634Recruiting
Brain imaging study for Alzheimer's disease
This study uses brain scans to understand Alzheimer's disease and related conditions that affect memory, language, or vision. It looks at how changes in the brain happen over time in people with these diagnoses.
