NCT ID NCT02128945

First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study tested a new radioactive tracer, [18F]-Fludarabine, in 10 adults with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The goal was to see how the tracer spreads in the body and how well it highlights cancer cells compared to standard PET scans. The approach aims to improve diagnosis and treatment monitoring for these lymphoid cancers.
