New scan could spot hidden prostate cancers, slash unneeded biopsies
NCT ID NCT07220720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a special PET-CT scan (POSLUMA) to standard MRI can better detect serious prostate cancer in men whose MRI results are uncertain (PIRADS 2 or 3). About 30 men who have not had a biopsy before will get both scans before their scheduled biopsy. The goal is to see if the combined approach reduces false alarms and finds more real cancers, potentially avoiding unnecessary biopsies.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The patient is willing to provide signed informed consent and is able to comply with all required study-related procedures, where safe and feasible. 2. The patient is male and at least 18 years of age. 3. The patient has not previously undergone a prostate biopsy. 4. The patient underwent a pelvic mpMRI within the last 90 days for the detection of potential prostate cancer (Pca). 5. The patient is a candidate for a targeted MRI/US biopsy and is scheduled to undergo the procedure. Only patients scheduled for a biopsy before recruitment will be considered candidates. 6. The patient has PIRADS 2 and/or PIRADS 3 lesions detected by a board-certified radiologist. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with a prior diagnosis of prostate cancer. 2. Patients with any medical condition or circumstance that, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the study data or prevent the patient from fulfilling the study requirements. 3. Patients participating in another interventional clinical trial within the past 30 days. 4. Patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or any excipients of flotufolastat F 18 PET-CT.
