NCT ID NCT05611905
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested whether a radioactive tracer called 11C-PABA can make infections visible on PET scans. Researchers scanned 13 healthy people and patients with known or suspected infections to see if the tracer safely highlights infected areas and helps tell infections apart from other diseases like inflammation or cancer. The goal is to improve noninvasive diagnosis of bacterial infections.
