New imaging method could spot hidden cancers
NCT ID NCT02307630
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study is testing a radioactive antibody called 124I-Humanized 3F8 to see how it travels through the body and attaches to tumors in people with melanoma, neuroblastoma, or sarcoma. Seven participants will receive the antibody and then have PET/CT scans at several time points. The goal is to learn about the antibody's distribution and how long it stays in the body, which could improve cancer imaging in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 124I-Humanized 3F8 (a radioactive antibody)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better PET scans for detecting certain solid tumors, helping doctors see where the cancer is more clearly.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 7 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to test imaging, not to treat or cure cancer, so no direct benefit is expected.
