NCT ID NCT04987086

First seen Mar 16, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study aims to see if a special PET scan (68Ga-PSMA) is better than standard CT scans at finding where kidney cancer has spread in the body. About 300 adults with advanced kidney cancer will receive both scans, and doctors will compare the results. If the PET scan proves more accurate, it could help doctors choose the best treatment for each patient.
