PET scan study for men with rising PSA after prostate cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a newer type of PET scan (fluciclovine) in men whose previous PSMA PET scan was negative or unclear. It aims to find if the fluciclovine PET can better detect where the cancer has returned, helping guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Men aged 18 or older
- Had prostate cancer that was treated with surgery (removing the prostate) or radiation therapy with the goal to cure it
- Your PSA level has increased after treatment, which may mean the cancer has come back (biochemically recurrent)
- Your last PSMA-ligand PET scan did not find any cancer or gave uncertain results
- No hormone therapy (such as Lupron or similar) in the last 3 months

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a special PET scan using 68Ga-PSMA-11 can detect prostate cancer that has returned after surgery or radiation, measured by rising PSA. If the scan works well, it may help doctors find where the cancer is coming back.
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 study tests whether a newer type of imaging scan (called fluciclovine PET) can find where prostate cancer has come back when an earlier scan (PSMA PET) didn't show clear results. The goal is to help doctors better plan treatment for men whose cancer has returned after surgery or radiation.
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 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 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.
