PyL Imaging for High-Risk and Recurrent Prostate Cancer
This study is looking at a new imaging method called PyL PET/CT for men with prostate cancer. The goal is to see if PyL PET/CT can find cancer spread (metastases) that standard imaging tests might miss. Researchers believe PyL PET/CT could give a clearer picture of where the cancer is. You might be able to join if you are a man aged 18 or older with confirmed prostate cancer and either have high-risk prostate cancer (based on PSA levels, Gleason score, or tumor stage) or your prostate cancer has returned after treatment (biochemical relapse). The study will measure how well PyL PET/CT detects these unsuspected metastases within four weeks.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 184 participants. It is designed to assess the clinical value of PyL PET/CT in two groups of prostate cancer patients.
- What's involved
- You would receive a PyL PET/CT scan. If the scan shows areas of concern not seen on standard imaging, a biopsy might be performed to confirm if it's cancer.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcomes, detection of unsuspected metastases, will be measured up to 4 weeks after the scan.

What this trial measures
- Detection of unsuspected metastases in high risk prostate cancerup to 4 weeks
Determine the rate of detection of unsuspected metastases in patients with high risk prostate cancer and planned prostatectomy or radiation therapy.
- Detection of unsuspected metastases in biochemically recurrent prostate cancerup to 4 weeks
Determine the rate of detection of unsuspected metastases in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer, yet no evidence of disease on CT/bone scan.
