Radioactive tracer could spot hidden cancers in ovarian, lung, and pancreatic tumors

NCT ID NCT06843629

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a new radioactive imaging agent that targets a protein called MSLN, found on some cancer cells. Researchers will use PET scans to see if this agent can better detect and stage ovarian cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer in 100 patients and healthy volunteers. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help guide treatment decisions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

[68Ga]Ga-NOTA-MSLN antibody fragment (a radioactive imaging agent)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more accurate way to detect and stage certain cancers, helping doctors choose the best treatment.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase diagnostic study, not a treatment. The imaging agent may not prove more effective than current methods, and results may not apply to all patients.
