New scan could reveal hidden kidney cancer activity

NCT ID NCT04989959

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

Summary

This study explores whether a special PET/CT scan using a tracer called [18F]PT2385 can detect a protein (HIF2α) that helps kidney cancers grow. About 35 adults with kidney cancer or a genetic condition called VHL syndrome will receive the scan, and results will be compared with tissue samples. The goal is to improve how doctors see and understand kidney cancer, not to treat it.
