New imaging agent targets LRRC15 to sharpen cancer diagnosis

NCT ID NCT07651020

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a special SPECT imaging agent that seeks out a protein called LRRC15, found on many aggressive cancers like pancreatic, breast, lung, and brain tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors diagnose and stage these cancers more accurately. Healthy volunteers and people with suspected or confirmed LRRC15-positive cancers will receive the imaging agent and undergo a SPECT/CT scan.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

LRRC15-targeted SPECT radiotracer

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could improve cancer diagnosis and staging, helping doctors choose better treatments.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small study with only one participant, so results may not apply broadly. The imaging agent's safety and accuracy are still being tested.
