New PET-MRI scan for better prostate biopsy guidance
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new imaging scan that combines a special PET tracer with MRI to help guide a prostate biopsy. The goal is to see if this scan can more accurately find cancer and reduce the need for extra biopsies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man 18 years or older.
- Your doctor thinks you might have prostate cancer and wants to do a biopsy.
- You can lie still for about 30 minutes for an MRI scan.
- You do not have a hip replacement or a pacemaker/cochlear implant.
- You have not had a prostate biopsy in the last 4 weeks.

This trial tests whether a new imaging agent (flotufolastat F 18 PET CT) can find prostate cancer better than MRI. If you have a suspicious spot on an MRI, this study may help doctors see if the new scan is more accurate.
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 early-phase study tests a special PET-MRI scan using rhPSMA-73 to better detect prostate cancer areas in men who would otherwise choose active surveillance. It may help doctors see where (and how much) cancer is present before deciding on treatment.
This trial tests a new PET scan (a type of imaging) called Flotufolastat to see if it can better monitor prostate cancer after you receive focal therapy—a treatment that targets only the cancer area rather than the whole prostate. The goal is to help doctors know if the treatment worked and catch any remaining cancer early.
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 trial uses a new type of PET/MRI scan (called FAPI) to see how well it can find prostate cancer. It may help doctors learn about a different way to image the cancer. You can join if you already have a scheduled or recent PSMA PET scan.
