NCT ID NCT06521775

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study tested whether a special PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer called Ga-68 PSMA-11 can detect treatment response in patients with metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare salivary gland cancer. Six adults with this cancer underwent the scan at two time points. The goal was to see if the imaging could help guide treatment decisions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Ga-68 PSMA-11 (radioactive imaging agent)

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help doctors better track how well treatments are working in patients with this rare cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study (6 participants) focused on imaging, not treatment. It may not lead to changes in care or apply to all patients.
