New PET tracers aim to light up Hard-to-See cancers

NCT ID NCT07630961

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study is testing two radioactive imaging agents, 68Ga-DFC413 and 68Ga-NNS309, to see how well they highlight tumors on PET scans. About 66 adults with advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, colorectal, or soft tissue cancers will receive the agents. The goal is to compare their imaging performance and safety, not to treat the cancer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

68Ga-DFC413 and 68Ga-NNS309 (radioactive imaging agents)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better PET scans that help doctors see tumors more clearly, potentially improving cancer detection and treatment planning.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) study with only 66 people, so it is not designed to prove the imaging agents work. The agents may not show tumors clearly or could have unexpected side effects.
