PET scan study for early prostate cancer recurrence
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan to detect prostate cancer when your PSA level is slightly rising after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find cancer early so treatment decisions can be better informed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your prostate removed (radical prostatectomy) to treat prostate cancer.
- Your PSA level is between 0.1 and 0.5 ng/mL, showing a small rise after surgery.
- You are not currently taking hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy).
- You have no planned X-ray contrast or other PET scans within 24 hours before this scan.

This trial tests whether a special PET scan (called POSLUMA) can help find prostate cancer earlier in men who have an MRI showing a suspicious spot (PIRADS 2 or 3) but haven't yet had a biopsy. If you are scheduled for a biopsy, this scan may give your doctor extra information before the procedure.
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.
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 trial looks at how well a special PET scan (called PSMA PET) can find prostate cancer that has come back after treatment. It uses a radioactive tracer to spot cancer cells. Your doctor may already have ordered this scan as part of your regular care.
This trial tests a PET scan (flotufolastat F 18) to find tiny prostate cancer cells in men whose PSA is very low but still rising after prostate removal. It may help guide further treatment decisions.
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.
