Study Summary

This trial is testing how well two different imaging methods work in detecting prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with recurrent prostate cancer after surgery or radiation, who can sign consent and have a certain level of physical ability (Karnofsky score of 50). They must not be on other prostate cancer treatments except for some hormone therapies if resistant. No recent other cancers or ongoing investigational therapies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two imaging agents, F-18 PSMA 1007 and Ga-68 PSMA11, to see how well they detect metastatic prostate cancer in patients with rising PSA levels post-treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are related to the PET scan procedure and may include reactions to the imaging agents like mild irritation or discomfort at the injection site. Allergic reactions are possible but rare.
