New PET tracer could spot hidden cancers

NCT ID NCT03604315

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase I trial is testing a new radioactive tracer called [18F]FTT, which is used with PET/CT scans to find tumor cells in people with solid tumors, including breast, ovarian, and other cancers. The study will enroll 300 participants and aims to see how well the tracer highlights cancer cells compared to standard imaging. It is not a treatment but a way to improve cancer detection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Fluorine F 18 Fluorthanatrace ([18F]FTT)

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help doctors better detect and monitor certain cancers, like ovarian or breast cancer, by highlighting tumor cells more clearly.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase I study focused on imaging, not treatment. The tracer may not work as hoped, and results may not apply to all patients or cancer types.
