Study summary

This study is being conducted to determine whether the combination of imaging agents 68-Ga RM2 and 68-Ga PMSA11 is better at assessing response to high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) or high dose rate (HDR) local therapy than standard imaging or biopsy in patients with known prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective: To determine feasibility of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI and 68Ga-RM2 PET/MRI for evaluation of HIFU or HDR local therapy in patients with known prostate cancer.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Known prostate cancer
  • Planned HIFU or HDR local therapy
  • Able to provide written consent
  • performance status of 50 (or (ECOG) /World Health Organization (WHO) equivalent)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients not capable of getting PET study due to weight, claustrophobia, or inability to lay still for the duration of the exam
  • Metallic implants ( for MRI)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2019 to primary completion in Mar 2022, 34 months.

Results were first posted in Jan 2024, 1 year 10 months after primary completion.

Of 114 non-industry phase 1/2 interventional studies under Prostatic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 65 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 85. This study's 34 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 210 studies reached it within 61 months; a quarter within 30 and three quarters within 85.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 30, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
