New PET scan could sharpen detection of neuroendocrine tumors

NCT ID NCT07102056

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test a new type of PET scan using a radioactive tracer called 18F-Octreotide in 152 people with or suspected of having neuroendocrine tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can more accurately locate tumors, guide treatment decisions, and help predict how the disease will progress. Researchers will also explore its use in measuring tumor size, grading, and identifying genetic types.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

18F-Octreotide (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help doctors more accurately locate neuroendocrine tumors, choose the best treatment, and predict patient outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 152 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new scan may not be significantly better than current methods.
