PSMA PET/CT scan for PSA relapse after prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial looks at using a PSMA PET/CT scan to better re-check cancer activity in men whose PSA has started rising after prostate removal. If you qualify, the scan may help doctors choose the next best treatment step.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign an informed consent form and are age 18 or older
- You previously had the prostate removed (radical prostatectomy) for prostate adenocarcinoma
- Your PSA has risen into the relapse range: greater than 0.2 and less than 1
- You are able to have a 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan as part of routine clinical care
- Your PSA was not still high soon after surgery (within 16 weeks your PSA was 0.1 or less)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special type of PET scan called PSMA PET to better understand and track prostate cancer. The scan helps doctors see where the cancer is in the body and if treatment is working.
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (called PSMA, which pictures prostate cancer cells) can help doctors better find any remaining or spread of prostate cancer when your PSA level is rising again. It's for people who are planning radiation therapy, and the goal is to see if the scan changes the treatment plan.
This Phase 3 study checks whether a PSMA PET/CT scan (using a special tracer) can help doctors make better decisions for people with prostate cancer after treatment, based on PSA blood test changes. It may help identify whether cancer has spread or how to plan next steps.
This Phase 2 study tests using a special PET/CT scan (PSMA or FACBC) to guide treatment for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery and radiation. The goal is to see whether this scan-based approach can better target cancer in the prostate area (and help plan the right treatment).
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 scanning method (rhPSMA-7.3 PET/CT) to detect prostate cancer recurrence when PSA is slightly high. If your PSA is low but rising, and standard scans haven't found cancer, this scan might help locate it.
