Summary

This trial aims to demonstrate that a new contrast agent called Gadopiclenol (Elucirem) can enhance the visibility of prostate cancer on MRI scans, making it easier to identify and distinguish clinically

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with prostate cancer who are candidates for MRI. Specific eligibility criteria aren't provided, but typically participants must be in good health aside from their prostate cancer and able to undergo an MRI.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Gadopiclenol (Elucirem), a new contrast agent used during an MRI of the prostate. The goal is to see if it provides clearer images that help distinguish aggressive prostate cancer using PI-RADS v2 categories.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Gadopiclenol are not listed here, common side effects of contrast agents include mild pain, cold feeling at the injection site, headache, or nausea.
