New scan could help doctors spot hidden prostate cancer spread
NCT ID NCT06235151
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer called copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T to see if it can accurately find prostate cancer that has spread to pelvic lymph nodes. About 439 men with newly diagnosed, aggressive prostate cancer who are planning to have their prostate removed will get this scan before surgery. The results will be compared to the actual tissue removed during surgery to see how well the scan works.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with histologically proven prostate adenocarcinoma. * Planned prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. * Unfavorable intermediate-risk, high-risk, or very high-risk disease defined by NCCN Guidelines Version 1.2023 and previous versions. * Male aged greater than or equal to 18 years. * Able to understand and provide signed written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Androgen deprivation therapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiation therapy (including local ablation techniques), or any investigational therapy against Prostate Cancer (PC) prior to prostatectomy. * Patients participating in an interventional clinical trial within 30 days and having received an Investigational Product (IP) within five (5) biological half-lives prior to administration. * Patients with any medical condition or circumstance (including receiving an IP or not capable of having a PET study) that the investigator believes may compromise the data collected or lead to a failure to fulfill the study requirements. * Patients who are planned to have an x-ray contrast within 24 hours or other PET radiotracer within 10 physical half-lives prior to the PET scan. If Barium contrast is administered this should be cleared before the PET scan. * Patients who are administered any high energy (greater than 300 KeV) gamma emitting radioisotopes within five (5) physical half-lives prior to copper Cu 64 PSMA I\&T administration. * Patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of the excipients of the IP. * Patients who had a PSMA PET scan as part of their standard medical care within 90 days prior to enrollment.
