Awards & highlights

Summary

This trial will test a new imaging technique using copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T injection in patients with newly diagnosed aggressive prostate cancer to see if it can help doctors better visualize the extent of the cancer

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with newly diagnosed, high-risk prostate cancer who are planning to undergo prostatectomy and lymph node dissection. They must have a confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma and understand the study enough to give informed consent.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T injection for PET/CT imaging in men with new, unfavorable intermediate to very high-risk prostate cancer. It's an open-label Phase 3 study, meaning everyone knows what treatment they're getting.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Copper Cu 64 PSMA I&T are not detailed here but may include typical reactions from diagnostic imaging agents such as mild irritation at the injection site or allergic reactions.
