Kidney cancer scan study pulled before it even started

NCT ID NCT07084909

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aimed to see if a special PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer called piflufolastat F 18 could better detect whether clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer) has spread. Researchers planned to enroll adults with suspected or high-risk metastatic disease. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

piflufolastat F 18 (a radioactive tracer used in PET/CT scans)

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help doctors more accurately detect if kidney cancer has spread, guiding better treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

The study was withdrawn before any participants enrolled, so no results are available. It is unclear if the approach would work as hoped.
