PSMA PET for prostate cancer diagnosis after unclear MRI
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Men aged 18 or older
- PSA level between 4 and 15, checked at least twice
- Had a prostate MRI within the last 6 months
- MRI results show certain patterns (PI-RADS 2 with risk factors, PI-RADS 3, or PI-RADS 4 with low risk factors)
- Normal digital rectal exam (a physical exam by a doctor)
- Agree to have a prostate biopsy (both targeted and systematic)

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 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/MR scan can help guide a second prostate biopsy in men with rising PSA. It may reduce the need for unnecessary biopsies.
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 a new way to guide prostate biopsies using a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) that highlights suspicious areas. If you need a biopsy because of high PSA and abnormal MRI, this approach might help make the biopsy more accurate.
