New scan may tell how aggressive your kidney tumor is
NCT ID NCT07346404
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET scan using 82-Rb can tell how aggressive a kidney tumor is. Doctors will compare the scan results to the actual tumor grade after surgery. If it works, patients might avoid unnecessary biopsies or surgeries. The study involves 50 adults with suspected or confirmed kidney cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 82-Rb injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this scan could help doctors determine kidney cancer aggressiveness without needing a biopsy or surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The scan may not reliably distinguish between low- and high-grade tumors.
