New imaging scan for high-risk prostate cancer staging
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of scan (99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT) to see how well it can detect the spread of high-risk prostate cancer. It may help doctors better understand the stage of the disease before deciding on treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer (Gleason score 8 or higher, PSA level of 20 or more, or a tumor that can be felt during a rectal exam).
- You are male and 18 years of age or older.
- You have not started hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) yet.
- You are not claustrophobic and can tolerate being in a scanner.
- You are generally in good health and do not have other serious medical conditions that would make participation unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special imaging scan (SPECT/CT) with a small amount of radioactive tracer to look at prostate cancer. It aims to see how well the scan matches your prostate cancer tests and may help improve detection and assessment.
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan to help doctors aim stereotactic radiation more precisely for certain higher-risk or unfavorable intermediate prostate cancers. It studies whether this targeted approach can safely treat the prostate (and specific areas needing extra treatment) without spreading to the body.
This trial studies a treatment that targets a protein called PSMA in people with prostate cancer. It may help shrink or control the cancer and is being tested in different risk groups and stages of disease.
This study looks at how well two different PSMA PET scans work for men with advanced prostate cancer. The scans help doctors see where the cancer is, which can guide treatment decisions and help you and your doctor 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 trial tests if a special PET scan using PSMA-1007 can find prostate cancer spread in men who have just been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer and plan to have surgery. The scan may help doctors better understand the cancer before removing the prostate and lymph nodes.
