New scan could spot hidden prostate cancer spread
NCT ID NCT07615101
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing a new radioactive imaging agent called 68Ga-NYM032, given as an injection before a PET/CT scan, in 365 men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this scan can accurately detect whether the cancer has spread to pelvic lymph nodes, compared to standard tissue analysis after surgery. If it works, it could help doctors decide on the best treatment without needing invasive procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 68Ga-NYM032 (a radioactive imaging agent injected intravenously for PET/CT scans)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate, non-invasive way to detect whether prostate cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, helping guide treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is still an experimental imaging agent. It may not prove more accurate than current methods, and results from this single-arm study may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is male and aged \>18 years old. 2. Biopsy proven prostate adenocarcinoma. 3. Patients electing to undergo Radical Prostatectomy (RP) with Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). 4. ECOG performance status 0-2; expected survival ≥ 6 months. 6\. Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to sign it. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Participants who have previously participated in other interventional clinical trials and are within five physical half-lives, or have received radionuclide agents previously with an interval of less than ten physical half-lives prior to study drug injection. 2\. Participants administered any IV iodinated contrast medium within 24 hours, or any high density oral contrast medium (oral water contrast is acceptable) within 5 days, prior to study drug injection. 3\. Known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or excipients of the study drug. 4\. Participants not capable of getting PET study , or inability to lay still for the duration of the exam. 5\. Any medical condition or circumstance that, in the investigator's judgment, may compromise study safety or patient compliance.
