Fluciclovine PET scan for prostate cancer recurrence detection
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a newer type of imaging scan (called fluciclovine PET) can find where prostate cancer has come back when an earlier scan (PSMA PET) didn't show clear results. The goal is to help doctors better plan treatment for men whose cancer has returned after surgery or radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man age 18 or older
- You had prostate cancer treated with surgery or radiation therapy
- Your PSA (a blood marker) has risen after treatment, suggesting cancer may have returned
- You had a PSMA PET scan in the last 45 days that showed no cancer or unclear results
- You have not yet started new cancer treatment for this recurrence
- You are willing to use contraception for 24 hours after the imaging injection if sexually active

This trial tests a new PET scan (a type of imaging) called Flotufolastat to see if it can better monitor prostate cancer after you receive focal therapy—a treatment that targets only the cancer area rather than the whole prostate. The goal is to help doctors know if the treatment worked and catch any remaining cancer early.
This trial tests a new imaging drug, 18F-Florastamin, to see if it can better detect prostate cancer that has come back after treatment. You may qualify if you have signs of recurrence and are willing to have a biopsy or additional therapy.
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.
This study follows people with prostate cancer whose PSA blood test has risen again after standard treatment. It uses an approved PET scan tracer to look for cancer spread, which may help doctors understand how the disease is progressing.
This study tests a new imaging drug called Flotufolastat F-18 to find prostate cancer that has returned after treatment. The goal is to see how well and safely it finds the cancer spots, which could help guide next steps.
This trial studies how a special PET/CT scan (using 18F-DCFPyL) helps evaluate prostate cancer that is either high-risk at diagnosis or has come back based on PSA blood tests. It may help your care team better stage (map) the cancer and guide next steps.
