GRPR PET imaging for diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer

Official title: The Value of Gastrin-Releasing Peptide Receptor (GRPR) PET Imaging for Diagnosis and Staging in Prostate Cancer

Run by First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University · NCT07363382 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This will test two new GRPR PET tracers (68Ga-G21 and 68Ga-G23) alongside 68Ga-PSMA-11 to see if they better detect and stage prostate cancer in men with confirmed disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Men with confirmed treated or untreated prostate adenocarcinoma who can provide informed consent, especially those with intermediate or high-risk disease or suspected biochemical recurrence, are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a known allergy to PSMA radiopharmaceuticals, significant medical issues that prevent study participation, or tumors with low GRPR expression are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional Phase 1/2 imaging study enrolls men with confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma to undergo PET imaging with two novel GRPR-targeting tracers, 68Ga-G21 and 68Ga-G23, and comparison imaging with 68Ga-PSMA-11. Investigators will document tracer biodistribution, safety, and lesion detection across initial staging, biochemical recurrence, and metastatic disease settings. Imaging results will be compared to determine concordance, added lesion detection, and potential complementarity where PSMA expression is low or negative. The protocol focuses on quantifying diagnostic performance and informing whether GRPR PET can guide clinical management in cases where PSMA PET is insufficient.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, these GRPR tracers could detect cancers that PSMA PET misses and improve staging and treatment decisions for affected patients.

How similar studies have gone: Multiple prior studies have reported promising results for GRPR PET as a complementary imaging tool to PSMA PET, though larger head-to-head comparisons remain limited.
