Can a contrast ultrasound predict radiation success in sarcoma?
NCT ID NCT07436364
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can help doctors monitor how soft tissue sarcoma responds to radiation therapy. Ten adults scheduled for radiation will get CEUS scans before, during, and after treatment. The goal is to see if CEUS images can be combined with CT or MRI scans to better predict tumor response.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Definity (contrast agent for ultrasound)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to see how well radiotherapy is working for soft tissue sarcoma, potentially guiding more personalized treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The technique may not prove reliable enough for routine use.
