Using PSMA-1007 Imaging for Staging Prostate Cancer
Official title: The Clinical Impact and Prognostic Value of [18F] PSMA-1007 Imaging for Primary Staging of Prostate Cancer: Real-world Evidence From a Monocentric, Prospective Observational Study
Run by Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf · NCT06820333 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new imaging method called PSMA-1007 to see if it can better detect prostate cancer and its spread to lymph nodes compared to standard imaging techniques.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old who are scheduled for a first diagnosis of prostate cancer and can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with imaging artifacts that limit the assessability of the examinations will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of [18F] PSMA-1007 imaging in the primary staging of prostate cancer in real-world clinical settings. It will collect data on the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging technique compared to traditional methods, focusing on its ability to detect pelvic lymph node involvement. The study will involve a diverse patient population and will address limitations found in previous studies by allowing for long-term observation and a larger sample size. The goal is to generate evidence-based insights that can enhance the management of prostate cancer.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning for patients with prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results for PSMA imaging, indicating a potential for success in this novel real-world evidence approach.
