New scan could reveal hidden spread of prostate cancer

NCT ID NCT06074510

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether a special PET scan using PYLARIFY can find prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate in men with favorable intermediate risk cancer. About 274 men will receive one injection and scan, then be followed for up to a year. The goal is to see if the scan detects cancer that other tests miss, which could help guide treatment.

What this could mean

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors more accurately determine if prostate cancer has spread, leading to better treatment choices for men with favorable intermediate risk prostate cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 4 imaging study, not a treatment trial. It may not change outcomes for all patients, and false positives or negatives are possible. Results are limited to detection, not cure.
