NCT ID NCT04017819

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a radioactive imaging agent called [18F]-C-SNAT4 to see how it travels through the body and whether it can help detect lung cancer on PET scans. About 20 healthy volunteers and people with lung cancer will receive the tracer and undergo scans. The goal is to measure safety, radiation exposure, and whether the tracer highlights tumors differently than normal tissue.
