New imaging agent could help spot tumors in future cancer trials

NCT ID NCT01269593

First seen Jan 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests a radioactive imaging drug called 124I-PUH71 in 63 people with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, myeloma, or solid tumors. The goal is to see how the drug travels through the body and collects in tumors, and how long it stays in the blood. This is not a treatment study; the results will help plan future trials that use higher doses of PUH71 to treat cancer or detect tumors with PET scans.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

124I-PUH71 (a radioactive imaging agent)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors use PUH71 to detect tumors with PET scans and guide future treatment studies at higher doses.

What could go wrong

This is a very early pilot study with only tiny doses of the drug. It is not designed to treat cancer, and the imaging approach may not work well for all tumor types.
