New scan could sharpen radiation targeting for recurrent prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT03582774
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET/CT scan (68Ga-PSMA-11) can help doctors plan more precise radiation for men whose prostate cancer has come back after surgery. About 193 men with a rising PSA level will be randomly assigned to have their radiation plan based on either the new scan or standard imaging. The goal is to see if the scan improves cancer control without increasing side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histopathology proven prostate cancer. * Planned SRT for recurrence after primary prostatectomy. * Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) \>= 0.1 ng/ml at time of enrollment. * Willingness to undergo radiotherapy. * Treating radiation oncologist intends to incorporate 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT findings into the radiotherapy plan if patient undergoes 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Exclusion Criteria: * Extra-pelvic metastasis on any imaging or biopsy. * Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) within 3 months before 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. * Contraindications to radiotherapy (including active inflammatory bowel disease). * Concurrent systemic therapy for prostate cancer with investigational agents.
