Study on Investigational Imaging Techniques for Prostate Cancer Detection

Phase N/A

This study investigates the use of a special imaging technique for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a disease where cells in the prostate gland grow uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to see how well a new imaging method can find prostate cancer in patients who have been newly diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer.

Participants in this study will have an imaging scan called a PET/CT or PET/MRI, which helps doctors see inside the body. This will be done in addition to their regular scans. After the prostate is removed, the tissue will be scanned again using a special camera to get a better look at the cancer. A special tool will also be used to measure the cancer in the removed tissue.

  • Who can participate: Men with high-grade prostate cancer, specifically Gleason grade group 3-5, who are scheduled for prostate removal can participate. They must be able to stay still for a 30-minute imaging scan.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo an additional imaging scan before their surgery. After the prostate is removed, the tissue will be studied further using a special camera and an experimental beta probe to measure cancer presence.

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.
