Could a simple scan replace bone marrow biopsies for leukemia patients?
NCT ID NCT02392429
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer called FLT can help doctors quickly tell if chemotherapy is working in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 87 adults with AML will receive the FLT injection and undergo a PET/CT scan after starting treatment. The goal is to see if the scan can predict remission as accurately as the standard bone marrow biopsy, which is more invasive and uncomfortable.
