New imaging technique sheds light on oxygen levels in sarcoma tumors

NCT ID NCT03418818

First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a special PET scan combined with MRI can measure low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in soft tissue sarcoma tumors. About 70 adults with high-risk sarcoma will receive an injection of a radioactive tracer called FAZA before their standard treatment. The goal is to better understand tumor hypoxia, not to treat the disease. Participants are followed up by phone two days after the scan to check for any side effects.
