Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults with a history of prostate cancer treatments and specific PSA levels indicating potential metastatic disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients without a history of prostate cancer or those whose PSA levels do not meet the study criteria may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This phase III interventional study evaluates the effectiveness of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT imaging in adults with prostate cancer who have specific clinical histories, such as prior radical prostatectomy or rising PSA levels after other treatments. The study aims to identify patients who may benefit from this imaging technique based on their medical history and current PSA levels. Participants will be recruited from two centers, focusing on those with high-risk features for metastatic disease or those for whom the imaging is deemed clinically beneficial by their healthcare providers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy of prostate cancer assessments and improve treatment planning for patients.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing advanced imaging techniques for prostate cancer have shown promising results, suggesting potential success for this approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult participants (≥ 18 years old) with a history of radical prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer, and a serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) ≥ 0.2 mcg/L

Adult participants with a history of biopsy-proven prostate cancer and high-risk features for metastatic disease prior to treatment with radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy, cryotherapy, brachytherapy, or other similar therapy. High-risk features include a Gleason score ≥ 7, serum PSA ≥ 20 mcg/L, OR minimum clinical T-stage T2c
