New scan could spot hidden cancers in the belly
NCT ID NCT07219238
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer called GEH300079 to detect peritoneal carcinomatosis—cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen—in people with colorectal, stomach, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer. About 175 adults with known or suspected spread will receive the scan before planned surgery. The goal is to see if this scan is more accurate than standard imaging at finding cancer in different abdominal regions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GEH300079 (68Ga) injection (a radioactive tracer used in PET/CT imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate, non-invasive way to detect cancer spread in the abdomen, helping doctors plan better surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with only 175 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The scan may not be more accurate than current methods.
