Adding PSMA PET to MRI for prostate cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a special scan called a PSMA PET can help find significant prostate cancer in men who are already scheduled for an MRI-guided biopsy. It aims to see if combining the two scans gives a better picture of which prostate areas need to be biopsied.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 or older.
- You had a special MRI (multiparametric MRI) of your prostate in the last 6 months.
- Your MRI showed at least one area with a score of 3 (called PI-RADS 3) — not higher or lower.
- You have not had a prostate biopsy that found cancer before.
- You have not had any treatment for prostate cancer before.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study procedures.

This study tests whether a special PET scan (PSMA PET) can better detect prostate cancer in men whose MRI results are unclear. If it works, it may help avoid unnecessary biopsies or find cancer sooner.
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan (PSMA PET/MRI) can help doctors find hidden prostate cancer in men who have a rising PSA but previous negative biopsies and a non-suspicious MRI. It aims to improve detection without skipping needed treatment.
This study tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET/MRI) combined with a standard MRI can better detect prostate cancer. It is for men who have not had a biopsy yet and are suspected of having prostate cancer.
This trial tests if combining a PSMA PET scan with an MRI can better detect clinically significant prostate cancer than MRI alone. It may help men who have not had a prostate biopsy before and have certain risk factors.
This study tests whether using a special PET scan (PSMA PET/CT) to guide prostate biopsy can help find cancer more accurately and in real time. It might help men who need a biopsy because of high PSA levels or abnormal MRI results.
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.
