Outline of Clinical Research for F-18 PSMA-1007 PET

Scientific title: Diagnostic Performance of PET Imaging for Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)


Objectives: Objectives of this clinical research are to clarify the diagnostic ability of PSMA-PET and detailed clinical conditions of prostate cancer by performing PET/CT imaging on patients with prostate cancer after injection of F-18-PSMA-1007 solution and comparing the results with those of conventional imaging techniques (CT/bone scintigraphy etc.)

Eligibility: Adult men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer and undergo or will undergo CT scanning and/or bone scintigraphy, and patients who are suspected to have metastasis or recurrence after treatment

Target sample size: 50

Period: September 1, 2019 ~ March 31, 2022

Principal investigator: Tadashi Watabe (Department of Nuclear Medicine, Osaka University Hospital)

Details: See UMIN-CTR Clinical Trial (Unique ID issued by UMIN: UMIN000037697)

The research project is funded by Japan Science and Technology Agency.
