What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Summary

This study looks at 60 men with prostate cancer who had a high-risk genetic test (Decipher score >0.45). They will get a special PSMA-PET scan two years after their initial treatment to see if the cancer has spread. The goal is to learn how well the genetic test predicts early metastasis, not to provide a new treatment.
