New radioactive tracer aims to illuminate hidden prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07236112
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests TRDC002, a radioactive tracer that attaches to PSMA proteins on prostate cancer cells, to improve PET/CT imaging in patients whose cancer has returned or spread. Six adults with PSMA-positive recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer will receive a single dose of TRDC002 and undergo PET/CT scans. The goal is to find the best dose and timing for clear images, while also checking safety and how the tracer moves through the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TRDC002 (a radioactive tracer using copper-64 to bind to PSMA proteins on prostate cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate imaging method to detect where prostate cancer has spread, helping doctors choose better treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tracer may not clearly show all cancer spots, and there are unknown safety risks.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with recurrence or metastasis of prostate cancer. * Participants with PSMA-positive lesions. * Participants must have adequate bone marrow and organ function. * Participants with an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Exclusion Criteria: * Any immunotherapy or biological therapy (including antibodies) targeting PSMA within 60 days prior to the day of randomization. * A superscan is observed in the baseline bone scan. * Concurrent serious (as determined by the Investigator) medical conditions * Participants with symptomatic brain metastases, meningeal metastases, or spinal cord compression.
