Summary

This study is testing whether taking a delayed PET/CT scan 2-3 hours after injection of a radioactive tracer can better detect aggressive prostate cancer compared to the standard 60-minute scan. Researchers will enroll 1,000 men with suspected prostate cancer who have not yet had a biopsy. Each man will act as his own control, and the goal is to see if the delayed scan improves accuracy and could help some men avoid unnecessary biopsies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: PSMA PET/CT scan with a radioactive tracer (gallium-68 PSMA-11)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a more accurate imaging method to detect aggressive prostate cancer, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies.
What could go wrong: This is a diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The improvement from delayed imaging may be small, and results may not change clinical practice significantly.
