NCT ID NCT07295171

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether cancer patients can drink a radioactive sugar solution instead of receiving it through an IV for PET scans. Researchers will compare image quality and find the best time to scan after drinking. About 27 adults who already had a standard PET scan will get a second scan using the oral method and share their preferences.
