Study Summary

This trial is testing a new imaging technique to see if it can accurately find where prostate cancer is in the body.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with biopsy-proven prostate cancer, who have at least one tumor lesion of 1 cm or larger. They must be recommended for a prostatectomy or oligometastectomy and willing to provide tissue samples for research. Excluded are those unable to tolerate imaging, with serious health/psychological issues, or unable to give informed consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new PET/CT imaging method using [18F]FluorThanatrace (FTT) to measure PARP-1 activity in primary or metastatic prostate cancer sites. The results will be compared with pathology findings from surgeries like prostatectomies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
[18F]FluorThanatrace is used for imaging and may cause discomfort at the injection site, allergic reactions, and exposure to radiation typical of PET/CT scans which carries a small risk of future cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are new participants still being accepted for this clinical research?

"At present, this clinical trial is not accepting any further patients. It was initially published on July 14th 2017 and last modified on May 12th 2022. There are 1322 studies open for enrolment that involve prostate cancer, as well as two trials concerning Poly(ADP Ribose)Polymerase 1 with vacancies still available."

Answered by AI

What is the upper limit of patients who have consented to participate in this clinical trial?

"This scientific study is no longer actively recruiting. It was initially advertised on July 14th 2017 and the latest revision took place on May 12th 2022. If you are looking for alternative trials, there are 1322 prostate cancer studies now inviting volunteers as well 2 Poly(ADP Ribose) Polymerase 1 investigations that need participants to join."

Answered by AI

Could you elaborate on the research that has been conducted regarding Poly(ADP Ribose) Polymerase 1?

"Currently, there are 2 active studies for Poly(ADP Ribose) Polymerase 1 in its pre-Phase 3 stages. These experiments have been established in two different locations - one of them being San Francisco, California."
