The Role of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in MRI Fusion Biopsy and Surgery Guidance in Prostate Cancer

Investigating the Accuracy of a Molecular Imaging Probe for Prostate Cancer

Male

This study investigates the use of a molecular imaging probe to detect the location and size of prostate cancer lesions in patients with low and intermediate risk. The probe, combined with an advanced imaging system, aims to improve the accuracy of biopsies and staging of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a disease where cells in the prostate gland grow uncontrollably, and this study seeks to better understand how to identify these cancerous areas accurately.

In this study, participants will undergo imaging tests using a special probe during routine procedures like biopsies or surgeries. The accuracy of this probe will be compared to standard imaging techniques, like MRI, to see if it provides better information. A detailed analysis of the removed tissue will be done to verify the probe's accuracy. This testing requires collaboration among surgeons, radiologists, and scientists.

  • Who can participate: Men with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who are scheduled for a biopsy, focal treatment, or surgery can participate. Participants must be able to remain still for about 50 minutes during an MRI scan. Those in other studies with radiation exposure or who have certain medical conditions may not qualify.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo imaging tests with a molecular probe during their scheduled biopsy or surgery. This involves lying still for imaging procedures, which help compare the probe's accuracy with standard MRI scans. A placebo is not involved in this study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
