NCT ID NCT06862856

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 is testing whether a special PET scan using flotufolastat F 18 can detect prostate cancer that has come back after surgery, even when PSA levels are very low (0.20 ng/mL or less). Researchers will scan 50 men with a history of prostate cancer and a rising PSA after prostate removal. The goal is to see how often the scan finds cancer that standard tests might miss.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Flotufolastat F 18 injection (radioactive tracer for PET scan)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could enable earlier and more accurate detection of prostate cancer recurrence, potentially guiding timely treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The scan may also miss some cancers or show false positives.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have a history of localized histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate and have received radical prostatectomy (RP) with curative intent. * Participants must have measurable disease, defined as a non-zero PSA value post-RP that is concerning for biochemically recurrent or persistent disease, is ≤0.20 ng/mL, and obtained within 60 days of PET/CT. * At least 6 weeks must have elapsed after RP. If previously taking ADT, it should have been discontinued at least 16 weeks prior to PET. * Participants with a clinical flotufolastat F 18 PSMA PET/CT scan prescribed as part of the standard of care management. * Age ≥18 years. * Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants currently receiving ADT (defined as surgical orchidectomy; luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone \[LHRH\] agonist alone \[continuous or intermittent\]; LHRH antagonist alone \[continuous or intermittent\]; administration or use of a first or second generation anti-androgen alone or in combination with an LHRH agonist/antagonist). * Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents for this condition within five biological half-lives prior to administration of flotufolastat F 18. * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to flotufolastat F 18 or other agents used in study. * Participants receiving any of the following substances will be considered ineligible: x-ray contrast agent \<24 hours prior to the flotufolastat F 18 PET and any other PET imaging agent within 24 hours or 10 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the flotufolastat F 18 PET/CT. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the participant will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the participant is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.
