New scan could spot hidden head and neck cancers, reducing unnecessary biopsies
NCT ID NCT07217028
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests a new radioactive tracer called [18F]NOTA-ABY030, used with PET/CT scans, to see if it can safely and more accurately detect head and neck cancers that standard scans may miss. About 25 adults with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck will receive the tracer along with a small dose of cetuximab, then undergo imaging. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers also hope this approach will reduce the need for unnecessary biopsies and help guide treatment decisions.
