Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an investigational ultralow dose PET imaging technique for prostate cancer detection and monitoring. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the investigators optimize the timing, scan duration, and image reconstruction to reduce the radiation dose 10-100 fold of the current clinical standard? Participants will be injected with a radioactive tracer called 18F-DCFPyL and be imaged on a new type of high sensitivity PET scanner for up to 3 hours

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
