Glow-in-the-Dark dye could help doctors find hidden prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT06906471
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early trial tests a fluorescent dye called AS1986NS that aims to make prostate cancer cells glow during a biopsy. Ten men with suspected prostate cancer will receive a tiny dose of the dye before their standard biopsy. The main goal is to check that the dye is safe, not yet to prove it improves cancer detection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
AS1986NS (a fluorescent dye)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors see prostate cancer more clearly during biopsy, potentially reducing missed cancers.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, tiny study (10 people) focused on safety, not on proving the dye improves detection. It may not work as hoped.
