PSMA PET scan study for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult male.
- You must have been diagnosed with prostate cancer through a biopsy or other tissue test.
- You need the scan to either find out if the cancer has spread (staging) or to check if it has come back (restaging).
- Your doctor must have ordered a PSMA PET scan as part of your cancer care.
- You cannot have any medical condition that makes it unsafe to lie still for the PET scan.
- You must not have a known severe allergy to iodine contrast dye, and your kidney function must be good enough (creatinine level no higher than 2 mg/dL).

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.
This study is looking at how well a special type of PET/CT scan (called PSMA PET/CT) can see cancer in people who have or may have certain tumors. It may help doctors better understand and track the disease.
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 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 study tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET/MRI) combined with a standard MRI can better detect prostate cancer. It is for men who have not had a biopsy yet and are suspected of having prostate 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.
