New imaging agent could sharpen detection of rare tumors
NCT ID NCT02134639
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new way to make a radioactive tracer called 68Ga-DOTATOC for PET-CT scans in 20 adults with suspected or known neuroendocrine tumors. The goal was to see if this new method could find tumors more accurately than the current standard scan (OctreoScan). Researchers also checked how reliable the tracer production was and whether it caused any side effects.
