New imaging agent could spot returning prostate cancer earlier
NCT ID NCT04838613
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed Phase 3 study tested a new radioactive tracer called [18F]CTT1057 for PET/CT scans in 190 men with prostate cancer whose PSA levels were rising after initial treatment. The goal was to see if the tracer could accurately locate where the cancer had returned. Participants received both the new tracer and a standard one for comparison.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- [18F]CTT1057 (a radioactive tracer for PET scans)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate way to detect where prostate cancer has returned after initial treatment, helping guide further therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a diagnostic study, not a treatment. The tracer may not be more effective than existing options, and false positives or negatives are possible.

Inclusion Criteria * Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study * Biopsy proven prostate adenocarcinoma. * Biochemical recurrence following initial definitive therapy (with either RP or curative intent radiation therapy) as defined: by AUA criteria (Cookson et al 2007) for patients who have undergone RP: Initial serum PSA of ≥0.2 ng/ml measured at least 6 weeks after RP with a second confirmatory persistent PSA level of \>0.2 ng/ml, or by ASTRO-Phoenix criteria (Roach et al 2006) for patients who have undergone curative-intent radiation therapy (RT): Rise of serum PSA measurement of 2 or more ng/mL above the nadir PSA observed post RT. * ECOG performance status 0-2 * Participants must be adults ≥ 18 years of age Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to complete the needed investigational and standard-of-care imaging examinations due to any reason (severe claustrophobia, inability to lie still for the entire imaging time, etc.) * Any additional medical condition, serious intercurrent illness, concomitant cancer or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would indicate a significant risk to safety or impair study participation, including, but not limited to, current severe urinary incontinence, hydronephrosis, severe voiding dysfunction, need of indwelling/condom catheters, New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure, history of congenital prolonged QT syndrome, uncontrolled infection, active hepatitis B or C, and COVID-19 * Prior major surgery undergone less than 12 weeks prior to screening (with the exception of any surgery related to prostatic cancer) * Known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to \[18F\]CTT1057, \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11, or to CT contrast * Prior and current use of PSMA targeted therapies * Prior ADT (first or second generation), including LHRH analogues (agonists or antagonists), within 9 months before screening * Any 5-alpha reductase inhibitors within 30 days before screening * Use of other investigational drugs within 30 days before screening * Castration-resistant patients * Patient with small cell or neuroendocrine PCa in more than 50% of biopsy tissue * Prior salvage surgery or salvage radiation therapy
