  About the Phase 2 trial with uTRACE in prostate cancer

The primary objective of this phase 2 trial is to investigate Curasight's first-in-class PET tracer, 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 as a non-invasive grading tool of prostate cancer patients that are followed in active surveillance. Patients in active surveillance are continuously monitored for changes in the aggressiveness of their prostate cancer and can be followed for years without identifying the need for treatment. The trial design is informed from research and earlier studies with uTRACE^® as well as protocol discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

The trial will be conducted in two parts, with the first part of the trial conducted at three different University hospitals in Denmark and Sweden. For part 2, the trial will be expanded to also include University hospitals in Germany as well as transatlantic hospitals in the US.
