PET scan for untreated prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that looks for a protein called uPAR on prostate cancer cells. It might help doctors see your cancer more clearly without needing surgery or treatment first.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 6 or 7 (grade group 1, 2, or 3).
- Your cancer must be localized (not spread to lymph nodes or other organs) and you have not had any prior prostate cancer treatment.
- You must have had a prostate biopsy within the last 1 to 6 months, and at least one core of that biopsy must have been guided by MRI.
- You cannot have chronic prostatitis or an active infection in your prostate or urinary tract.
- You must be in generally good health, with no major problems with your bone marrow, kidneys, liver, heart, or lungs.

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 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 imaging method (PET scan) that uses a special tracer to find prostate cancer cells, whether it's the first diagnosis or a recurrence after treatment. The goal is to see how well this imaging works for locating cancer in the body.
This research study tests a new imaging scan (called 68Ga-OncoACP3-PET/CT) to help find prostate cancer and see where it may have spread. The scan uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors visualize cancer cells and decide on the best treatment options.
This trial provides access to a new type of PET/CT scan called 18F-PSMA-1007, which uses a radioactive tracer to find prostate cancer cells that may have spread in the body. The scan may help your doctor plan your treatment more accurately.
This trial uses a special PET scan to find prostate cancer cells before surgery. It may help doctors see where the cancer is located and if it has spread.
