Comparing Two PET/CT Scans for Prostate Cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have a complete MRI and recent clinical data (like PSA levels and Gleason grade).
- You have prostate cancer found by PSA or imaging, or you might have a recurrence after standard treatment.
- You are willing to have both types of PET/CT scans within two weeks of each other.
- You are willing to have a biopsy or surgery afterward to confirm the findings.
- You have no other active cancers, no alcohol allergy, and no serious liver or kidney problems.

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 compares two types of scans, a PSMA PET/CT and a regular CT, to see which one better detects prostate cancer spread. If you join, you'll get both scans and the results may help guide your treatment.
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 trial tests if a special PET scan (PSMA-PET) plus MRI is better than MRI alone at finding the full extent of high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to improve surgical planning by checking scan results against the removed prostate tissue.
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 trial compares two imaging techniques—PSMA PET/CT and MRI—to see which one better finds and outlines prostate cancer tumors. You'll receive both scans to help doctors understand which method works best for newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
