Can a special scan better detect prostate cancer recurrence after HIFU?
NCT ID NCT07184970
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will test whether a special type of scan called PSMA PET/MRI can find prostate cancer that comes back after a treatment called High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) better than a standard MRI. About 60 men who had HIFU for prostate cancer will get both scans one year later, and the results will be compared to a biopsy. The goal is to see if the new scan catches more recurrences, which could help guide further treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PSMA PET/MRI imaging
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that PSMA PET/MRI is better than standard MRI at finding prostate cancer that comes back after HIFU treatment, helping doctors choose the right next steps.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The imaging technique may not prove more accurate than existing methods.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male patients 40-95 years of age with biopsy-confirmed localized prostate cancer. * Grade Group ≥2 (Gleason score 3+4 or higher). * Unifocal disease visible on mpMRI. * Patients undergoing HIFU as part of their standard of care * PSA \<20 ng/mL. * No metastatic disease on PSMA PET/CT * Willingness to comply with follow-up protocols (PSA testing, imaging, biopsies). Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of metastatic disease on PSMA PET/CT. * Allergy to POSLUMA or gadolinium. * Inability to tolerate MRI due to claustrophobia or posture/back-hip issues.
