New PET scan agent aims to spot cancers more precisely

NCT ID NCT07552467

First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study is testing a new radioactive imaging agent that targets a protein called LRRC15, found on many cancer cells. Researchers will use PET scans to see if this agent can better detect and stage cancers like pancreatic, breast, lung, and others. The trial includes 26 healthy volunteers and cancer patients to check safety and how the agent spreads in the body.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

LRRC15-targeted PET radiotracer (diagnostic imaging agent)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more accurate way to diagnose and stage several types of cancer, helping doctors choose better treatments.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The imaging agent's safety and effectiveness are still being evaluated.
