PSMA PET/MRI for guiding biopsy after negative MRI
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a PSA level above 4 ng/mL.
- You have had at least one prostate biopsy in the past that found no cancer.
- Your PSA level (or a related blood test called PHI) has gone up at least two times in a row.
- Your doctor's rectal exam of the prostate felt normal.
- Your prostate MRI showed a PI-RADS score of 3 or lower (not highly suspicious).

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 uses a special type of imaging scan (PSMA PET) to track how well prostate cancer treatment is working by comparing scans before and after your planned therapy. The goal is to help doctors better understand which treatments work best for your type of cancer.
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 a special scan called PSMA PET can help diagnose prostate cancer in men whose MRI results are not clear. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
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.
This trial tests if a special PET/MR scan can help guide a second prostate biopsy in men with rising PSA. It may reduce the need for unnecessary biopsies.
