68Ga-XMFH01 PET/FL imaging to guide prostate cancer surgery

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of the ACP3-Targeted Dual-Modality PET/Fluorescence Imaging Probe 68Ga-XMFH01 for Preoperative Imaging and Intraoperative Surgical Guidance in Prostate Cancer

Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University · NCT07885423 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests a new dual-modality imaging probe, 68Ga-XMFH01, to preoperatively detect prostate cancer and guide the surgeon with fluorescence during operations in adults with newly diagnosed prostate cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with newly diagnosed prostate cancer scheduled for surgical treatment, without distant metastases, and able to consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients with distant metastases or those not undergoing surgery may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies

This prospective, interventional study evaluates the feasibility, safety, and diagnostic performance of the ACP3-targeted probe 68Ga-XMFH01 for both PET/CT imaging before surgery and intraoperative fluorescence guidance in prostate cancer patients. Participants will undergo preoperative PET/CT to assess disease extent and quantify tumor uptake (SUVmax). During surgery, fluorescence imaging will help identify tumor tissue and assess margins, with concordance to histopathology assessed as the reference standard. The study will also compare preoperative PET/CT accuracy against surgical and histopathologic findings to determine overall diagnostic value. Safety and feasibility of this dual-modality approach will be evaluated in this patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could benefit from more accurate tumor localization before and during surgery, potentially improving margins and outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Similar dual-modality imaging approaches have shown promise in early studies, though this specific ACP3-targeted probe is novel.
