Comparing two PET imaging agents for prostate cancer diagnosis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a new PET imaging agent, [18F]AlF-PSMA-N5, in diagnosing prostate cancer, detecting recurrence, and identifying metastasis. It involves a head-to-head comparison with another agent, [18F]F-DCFPyL, to assess their biodistribution and diagnostic accuracy. Patients will undergo both imaging examinations within a two-week period, and various metrics such as sensitivity and specificity will be calculated to determine the superior agent.
