NCT ID NCT02293954

First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests a special PET scan that uses a radioactive antibody (64Cu-M5A) to find cancers that produce a protein called CEA. The goal is to see if this scan can detect tumors that standard methods might miss. About 20 adults with CEA-positive cancers (such as breast, colon, lung, or pancreatic cancer) will receive the injection and have scans on day 1 and day 2.
