NCT ID NCT06917781
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a blood test can detect prostate cancer cells that have spread, similar to a special PET scan. Researchers will take blood samples from 80 prostate cancer patients before their PET scans and compare the results. If the blood test works well, it might offer a simpler way to monitor the disease in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
blood test for circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to monitor prostate cancer spread, reducing the need for frequent PET scans.
What could go wrong
This is an early, small study (80 people) that only looks for a link between blood test results and PET scans. It does not test a new treatment, so it may not change patient care directly.
