New PET tracer aims to spot hidden cancer spread in the abdomen

NCT ID NCT07702292

First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 2 study tests whether a radioactive tracer called [68Ga]BED003 can improve PET/CT scans for detecting cancer in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen). The trial includes adults with colorectal, ovarian, gastric, pancreatic, or a type of breast cancer. Researchers will compare the scan results with standard methods to see how accurately the tracer identifies cancer spread.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
[68Ga]BED003, a radioactive tracer for PET/CT imaging
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging agent could help doctors spot cancer spread in the abdomen more accurately, guiding better treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study with only 65 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tracer may not perform better than current imaging methods.
