68Ga-XACP3 PET/CT for detecting prostate cancer lesions
Official title: PET Targeting Acid Phosphatase 3 (ACP3) in Prostate Cancer and Compared With 68Ga-PSMA
Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University · NCT07242014 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether 68Ga-XACP3 PET/CT can find tumor lesions in adults with prostate cancer or suspected recurrence compared with the standard 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with newly diagnosed prostate cancer, suspected recurrence, or previously treated metastases who are scheduled for 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and can give informed consent are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who cannot undergo PET/CT, cannot provide informed consent, or are unable to travel to the study site are unlikely to benefit from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Researchers will give participants contemporaneous 68Ga-XACP3 and standard 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scans for initial staging, metastasis evaluation, or suspected recurrence. Tumor uptake will be measured quantitatively using SUVmax and lesions will be counted by visual interpretation on each scan. The diagnostic accuracy of 68Ga-XACP3 will be calculated and directly compared to the standard-of-care 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. Results will show whether the new ACP3-targeting tracer identifies the same or additional lesions relative to PSMA imaging.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, 68Ga-XACP3 PET/CT could improve lesion detection and help guide treatment decisions for patients with prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: PSMA-targeted PET tracers are well established and sensitive for prostate cancer, while ACP3-targeting agents like 68Ga-XACP3 are novel with limited prior human data.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (aged 18 years or older); * Patients with newly diagnosed, highly suspected recurrence or previously treated metastases of prostate cancer (supporting evidence may include MRI, CT, tumor markers, and pathology report); * Patients who had scheduled both standard-of-care imaging (68Ga-PSMA PET/CT) and 68Ga-XACP3 PET/CT scans; * Patients who were able to provide informed consent (signed by participant, parent or legal representative) and assent according to the guidelines of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee. Exclusion Criteria: * The inability or unwillingness of the research participant or legal representative to provide written informed consent.
