Future Directions in PSMA-PET Imaging

“Prostate cancer patients with life expectancies of less than 5 or 10 years were being subjected to treatments that can take up to a decade to significantly improve their chances of surviving cancer, despite guidelines recommending against treatment," says Timothy J. Daskivich, MD.

In this podcast episode, Adam B. Murphy, MD, MBA, MSCI, discusses the need to increase diversity in clinical trials, specifically focusing on studies in prostate cancer.

“Our study is distinguished by long follow-up, out to 12 years, looking at a broad spectrum of key complications," says Joseph M. Unger, PhD.

Zeyad Schwen, MD, a urologic oncologist at Cleveland Clinic, discusses how patient factors and cancer characteristics are key to deciding between focal therapies and whole gland treatment for prostate cancer.

In total, the study plans to enroll 84 adult patients across clinical trial sites in the United States and Australia.

The decision comes after a pre-specified futility analysis determined that it was unlikely that the study would meet its primary end point.
