PSMA PET plus MRI to find prostate cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and at least 18 years old.
- Your doctor suspects you may have significant prostate cancer and you've had an MRI showing a PI-RADS score of 1 to 4 within the last 6 months, or you have other risk factors like high PSA, abnormal exam, or family history.
- You have never had a prostate biopsy before.
- You are generally healthy enough for daily activities (ECOG score 0 to 2).
- You agree to the study procedures and radiation safety rules.

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 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 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.
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 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 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.
