Radioactive tag lets scientists follow a cancer drug through the body
NCT ID NCT07809217
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers want to know how the experimental cancer drug purinostat mesylate is processed and cleared by the body. Six healthy Chinese men receive one intravenous dose of the drug carrying a tiny radioactive carbon label. By measuring radioactivity in blood, urine, and stool over time, the team tracks where the drug goes and how it exits the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Purinostat mesylate, an experimental cancer drug, tagged with a radioactive carbon label so researchers can track it
- What this could lead to
- If the tracer behaves predictably, researchers could gain a clearer picture of how purinostat leaves the body, which may help guide later dosing in cancer trials.
- What could go wrong
- This is a tiny Phase 1 study in six healthy men, so its results may not reflect how the drug behaves in cancer patients or in women. The radioactive tracer carries a small radiation exposure.
