New scan could reveal where cancer drugs go in the body

NCT ID NCT07221825

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

Summary

This study tests a new imaging technique called low-count quantitative SPECT (LC-QSPECT) to see how the drug Radium-223 spreads in men with advanced prostate cancer. About 38 men who are already eligible for Radium-223 will get extra scans after their treatment. The goal is to see if this scan can reliably measure drug uptake in tumors and organs, which could help doctors personalize treatment in the future.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Low-count quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography (LC-QSPECT) imaging

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help doctors see where Radium-223 goes in the body, potentially leading to better personalized treatment for prostate cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a very early feasibility study with only 38 participants. The imaging technique is new and may not provide clear enough results to change practice.
