New imaging agent could improve detection of rare cancers
NCT ID NCT07621146
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare a new radioactive tracer, 18F-AmBF3TATE, to the standard tracer 68Ga-DOTATATE for PET scans in people with neuroendocrine tumors. The goal is to see if the new tracer is as good or better at finding tumors. About 51 participants will receive both tracers and have their scans compared for accuracy and image quality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 18F-AmBF3TATE (a radioactive tracer for PET scans)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accessible or higher-quality imaging option for people with neuroendocrine tumors, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment planning.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study (51 participants) that only tests imaging accuracy, not treatment outcomes. The new tracer may not prove superior or may have unforeseen limitations.
