Comparing two scans for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of scans, a PSMA PET/CT and a regular CT, to see which one better detects prostate cancer spread. If you join, you'll get both scans and the results may help guide your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of prostate cancer.
- You must be referred for a PSMA PET/CT scan by your doctor.
- You should not have claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces).
- You must be willing to have the scan done.

This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
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.
This trial looks at prostate cancer patients who have not started treatment yet and have two different PET/CT scans close together. It may help doctors compare how these scans show prostate cancer in the body.
This study uses a special type of PET scan called PSMA PET to better understand and track prostate cancer. The scan helps doctors see where the cancer is in the body and if treatment is working.
This trial tests a new PET scan called XACP3 to see if it can find prostate cancer as well as the standard PSMA PET scan. You could help by having both scans to compare them.
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.
