Can a special PET scan spot hidden prostate cancer after focal therapy?
NCT ID NCT07733908
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial investigates whether Posluma, a PSMA-targeted PET scan, can accurately detect any remaining or returning prostate cancer about 12 months after focal therapy. Researchers will compare the scan results with MRI and biopsy data in 22 men with intermediate-risk, organ-confined prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this imaging method could serve as a reliable monitoring tool.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Posluma (flotufolastat F 18) PET scan
- What this could lead to
- If accurate, Posluma PET could become a non-invasive way to monitor prostate cancer after treatment, reducing the need for biopsies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 22 participants. The scan may not be accurate enough to replace standard monitoring methods.
