Radioactive probes could light up pancreatic tumors for smarter treatment
NCT ID NCT06602037
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests three new radioactive imaging probes that attach to proteins found on pancreatic cancer cells. By using PET/CT scans, doctors hope to see where the cancer has spread and predict which patients might respond to targeted drugs. The trial will enroll 90 adults with confirmed or suspected pancreatic cancer. Each participant will receive one or more of the probes and undergo multiple scans to measure how well the probes highlight tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- radioactive imaging probes ([89Zr]Zr-DFO-SHR1920, [18F]F-RESCA-3A12, [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-3A12)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these imaging scans could help doctors see pancreatic tumors more clearly and identify patients who might benefit from targeted treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early imaging study, not a treatment trial. The probes may not reliably distinguish tumors from normal tissue, and results may not change patient outcomes.
