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
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new way to do PET scans for men with high-risk prostate cancer. Instead of two full CT scans, it uses one CT plus a delayed PET-only image, which may lower radiation exposure. Researchers will check if the delayed images match the standard ones well enough. The goal is to make the scan safer and faster without losing diagnostic quality.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Gallium-68 PSMA radiotracer
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a safer, faster imaging protocol that reduces radiation exposure for men with high-risk prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage imaging study, not a treatment trial. The delayed scan may not match standard images well enough, or the benefit may be small.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 244 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Feb 2025

Expected to finish

Mar 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

30 years and older

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Newly diagnosed prostate cancer undergoing staging, or * Biochemical recurrence following prior radical-intent therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy), or * High-risk prostate cancer, defined as Gleason Score ≥ 8 or PSA ≥ 20 ng/mL. * Written informed consent and authorization for personal data processing. Exclusion Criteria: * Genitourinary comorbidities that could interfere with imaging or interpretation. * Intermediate- or low-risk prostate cancer. * Delayed acquisition performed on a PET/CT scanner different from the standard acquisition. * Additional PET/CT required due to artifacts compromising diagnostic quality (e.g., urinary retention, excessive motion). * Patients previously enrolled who require repeat PET/CT as a new visit. * Inability to provide informed consent or impaired decision-making capacity. * Known hypersensitivity to the radiopharmaceutical or its components. * Contraindications to PET/CT (e.g., severe claustrophobia, morbid obesity, inability to cooperate).
