AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma), stage III or IV, whose CT scan showed suspicious spread. It tests a 68Ga-PSMA PET scan.

Age
18 to 90 years
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Renal cell carcinoma, 2017 AJCC TNM stage III or IV. Contrast-enhanced CT found suspicious metastases.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Cannot lie flat during the PET/CT scan
  • Contraindications to 68Ga PSMA ligands
  • Another malignant tumor in the past two years
  • Impaired kidney function or hemodialysis in progress
  • Known peripheral or central venous problems

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The primary research purpose is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA PET in metastatic lesions of locally advanced and advanced renal cell carcinoma, and to compare with that of enhanced CT. The second purpose is to evaluate whether 68Ga-PSMA PET can change the treatment decision of patients with locally advanced and advanced renal cell carcinoma

The group in the trial

  • PSMA PET ArmTreatment being tested

    The PSMA PET arm received PSMA PET and enhanced CT at the same time in the diagnosis of the patients with suspected renal cancer.

    Treatment: PSMA PET
