New scan may predict dangerous clot return in lung patients

NCT ID NCT06372730

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

Summary

This study looks at 665 people who had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung) and are at intermediate risk of another clot. Researchers will use a special 3D lung scan (V/Q SPECT/CT) to measure leftover blockages in lung blood vessels. The goal is to see if this scan can predict who will have another clot within two years, which could help doctors decide who needs long-term blood thinners.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors identify which patients need long-term blood thinners to prevent another dangerous clot.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The scan may not reliably predict recurrence, and results may not change current practice.
