PET scans to guide radiation for limited metastatic prostate cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have prostate cancer that has not become resistant to hormone therapy (your testosterone is above 100).
- Your cancer has spread to 5 or fewer spots outside the pelvis (and not in the brain or liver).
- You are able to receive high-dose radiation to all those spots.
- You have not been on continuous hormone therapy for more than 3 months before starting the study.

This Phase 2 trial tests a radiation-focused approach for people with newly diagnosed (de novo) prostate cancer that has spread to a small number of spots, especially in bone. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to the prostate and cancer spread sites helps men whose prostate cancer has spread to bones but isn't responding well to standard hormone treatments. You'd be eligible if your PSA level (a cancer marker) stays high after six months of dual hormone therapy.
This trial uses a special PET scan to find spots where prostate cancer has spread. Then, it delivers precise radiation to those spots while you receive standard hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer.
This trial is testing whether giving radiation to all spots of cancer that show up on a PSMA PET scan works better than giving radiation only to the main tumor in the prostate. It is for men whose prostate cancer has spread to a few other places (up to 10 spots).
This trial uses a special scan (PSMA-PET) to find where prostate cancer has returned after surgery. Then doctors give a lower dose of radiation only to that area, which may reduce side effects. It is for men whose PSA level is rising after prostate removal.
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan to help doctors aim stereotactic radiation more precisely for certain higher-risk or unfavorable intermediate prostate cancers. It studies whether this targeted approach can safely treat the prostate (and specific areas needing extra treatment) without spreading to the body.
