New blood test could spot dangerous prostate cancer without a biopsy

NCT ID NCT07492927

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new blood test that looks for genetic material from tiny particles called exosomes to diagnose aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this test can accurately identify men who need a biopsy, avoiding unnecessary procedures. Researchers plan to enroll 1700 men with elevated PSA or other signs of prostate cancer.
