New scan could pinpoint returning prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT06235099
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This Phase 3 study tested a radioactive tracer called Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T, given as an injection, to improve PET/CT scans in 235 men with prostate cancer that may have returned after initial treatment (surgery or radiation). The goal was to see how accurately the scan could detect and locate cancer recurrence. If proven effective, this imaging method could help doctors decide on the best next steps for treatment.
