New imaging agent aims to spot Hard-to-Find tumors

NCT ID NCT06735560

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study is testing a new radioactive tracer called 89Zr-TLX250, which targets a protein (CAIX) found on certain tumor cells. The goal is to see if PET-CT scans using this tracer can detect more tumor lesions in people with liver cancer, bile duct cancer, or neuroendocrine tumors compared to standard imaging. The study will enroll 60 adults and also monitor for any side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

89Zr-TLX250 (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more accurate imaging method for detecting these tumors, potentially guiding better treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early pilot study with only 60 participants. The tracer may not detect all tumors as hoped, and there are risks from radiation exposure.
