  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study is testing a new way to find prostate cancer using a special scan called 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 PET-mpMRI. The scan combines two imaging techniques: PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). PET uses a small amount of radioactivity to see if the tumor takes up the tracer, while MRI uses radio waves and magnets to create detailed body pictures. Together, they might be better at finding tumors than MRI alone. The study also involves a TRUS-MR fusion biopsy, which uses both ultrasound and MRI to guide doctors to the right spot for taking tissue samples.

  • The study involves a 30-minute PET scan after an injection, done alongside a standard MRI.
  • Eligible participants are men over 18 suspected to have prostate cancer and needing a biopsy.
  • Participants should be able to stay still for the MRI scan and sign a consent form.

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.
