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.
