PET/CT scan study for high-risk or returning prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies how a special PET/CT scan (using 18F-DCFPyL) helps evaluate prostate cancer that is either high-risk at diagnosis or has come back based on PSA blood tests. It may help your care team better stage (map) the cancer and guide next steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This Phase 2 study checks how well a scan called PyL PET/CT can help find prostate cancer that is high-risk or has come back by blood test. The goal is to improve how doctors detect spread and guide the next treatment steps.
This study follows people with prostate cancer whose PSA blood test has risen again after standard treatment. It uses an approved PET scan tracer to look for cancer spread, which may help doctors understand how the disease is progressing.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a detailed imaging test) to find out if prostate cancer has come back after treatment. You'll receive an injection of a special tracer and then have a scan that takes pictures to help doctors locate any cancer.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-MY6349) to better see prostate cancer in the body. It may help doctors find cancer that has come back or spread, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan called 18F-PSMA-1007 to take detailed pictures of prostate cancer. It's for people who might have prostate cancer, have been diagnosed, or need to check how their cancer is doing after treatment.
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
