PET scan to plan treatment for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial is for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who are already scheduled to receive a treatment called Pluvicto. It uses an extra scan (SPECT/CT) to better measure how the treatment reaches the tumors, which could help personalize dosing and improve safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have metastatic prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy
- You are already scheduled to start treatment with Pluvicto
- You are male and at least 18 years old
- You are able to lie flat on a scanning table for the duration of the imaging
- You are willing to sign a consent form

This trial will test if a special PET scan (18F-DCFPyL) can help doctors plan your treatment with a radioactive medicine called 177Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan. You are eligible if you already qualify for that standard therapy and have had a prior PSMA PET scan showing at least one active cancer site.
This trial tests a higher dose of a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) for men whose prostate cancer has spread and does not produce much of a protein called PSMA on scans. The goal is to see if a stronger dose can work better than the standard dose.
This study tests giving the targeted radiation drug [177Lu]Lu-PSMA again to men whose prostate cancer has started growing after an earlier course of the same treatment. It aims to see if a second round can control the cancer again.
This trial studies how well a radioactive drug called Pluvicto works in men with prostate cancer who also have kidney or bone marrow problems. You'll get the treatment and have several scans to see how the drug affects your body.
This trial tests a radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 to see if it can help men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to the bones in a specific pattern (superscan). It's for patients who have already tried hormone therapy and have PSMA-positive tumors.
This trial uses a special PET scan (POSLUMA) before and after radiation to see if it helps treat prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots outside the pelvis. It's for men whose cancer still responds to hormone therapy and who have not had widespread spread.
