New PET scanner for detecting prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new, more detailed PET scanner designed specifically for prostate cancer. If you're already getting a PET scan for prostate cancer, you might help doctors see if this new scanner finds cancer better than the usual whole-body scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a PET scan as part of your prostate cancer care or diagnosis.
- You must be able to lie still for the longer scan time (the study uses a special PET machine that takes more time).
- There are no other major restrictions — this study compares a new PET scanner with a standard whole-body PET scanner.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-MY6349) to better see prostate cancer in the body. It may help doctors find cancer that has come back or spread, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
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 study is testing a new type of PET scanner (called J-PET) to see if it works as well as current PET/CT machines. If you are already scheduled for a whole-body PET/CT scan, participating would mean your scan is done with this experimental scanner instead.
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan called 18F-PSMA-1007 to take detailed pictures of prostate cancer. It's for people who might have prostate cancer, have been diagnosed, or need to check how their cancer is doing after treatment.
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 study tests a new type of PET scan (a detailed imaging test) to find out if prostate cancer has come back after treatment. You'll receive an injection of a special tracer and then have a scan that takes pictures to help doctors locate any cancer.
