NCT ID NCT07635524

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether a new radioactive imaging agent, 61Cu-NU101, can detect prostate cancer spread as well as or better than the current standard, Pylarify. 34 men with confirmed prostate cancer and visible disease on a prior Pylarify scan will receive one dose of 61Cu-NU101 followed by PET/CT imaging. The study compares the two scans to see if the new agent finds more or different cancer spots.

Active substance

61Cu-NU101 (a radioactive imaging agent)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new, equally effective or better imaging option for detecting prostate cancer spread.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study (34 people) comparing two scans, not a treatment. It may not show a meaningful improvement over the current standard.
