New radioactive tracer aims to illuminate hidden prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07236112
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests TRDC002, a radioactive tracer that attaches to PSMA proteins on prostate cancer cells, to improve PET/CT imaging in patients whose cancer has returned or spread. Six adults with PSMA-positive recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer will receive a single dose of TRDC002 and undergo PET/CT scans. The goal is to find the best dose and timing for clear images, while also checking safety and how the tracer moves through the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TRDC002 (a radioactive tracer using copper-64 to bind to PSMA proteins on prostate cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate imaging method to detect where prostate cancer has spread, helping doctors choose better treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tracer may not clearly show all cancer spots, and there are unknown safety risks.
