NCT ID NCT07140315

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests a new imaging drug called [18F]DK222 in 6 people with lung or bladder cancer. The drug is designed to attach to PD-L1, a protein that helps cancer hide from the immune system. Researchers want to see if the drug is safe, how it moves through the body, and how much radiation it gives off. This is a first step to see if this imaging method could help doctors decide who might benefit from immunotherapy.
