Can a new tracer light up bone cancer tumors?
NCT ID NCT07774533
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a new radioactive tracer, called 68Ga-B7-H3 nanobody, can safely and effectively highlight osteosarcoma tumors on PET/CT scans. Participants with relapsed or refractory osteosarcoma will receive a single injection of the tracer, followed by imaging to see how well it binds to tumors and detects lesions. The study compares these images with standard scans and biopsy results to assess the tracer's potential for improving diagnosis and disease evaluation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 68Ga-labeled B7-H3 nanobody (a radioactive tracer for PET/CT imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging approach could help doctors detect osteosarcoma lesions more accurately, guiding better treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase, small study (16 participants), so results may not apply broadly. The tracer may not clearly highlight all tumors, and there is a small risk of side effects from the radioactive agent.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥10 years. * Histologically confirmed osteosarcoma. * Relapsed or refractory disease following failure of first- or second-line systemic therapy. * Ability to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent (or assent with parental/legal guardian consent, where applicable). Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Severe uncontrolled systemic disease or medical condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may interfere with study participation or image interpretation. * Unable to undergo PET/CT examination. * Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the participant unsuitable for enrollment.
