New PET tracer aims to spot hidden cancers without biopsy

NCT ID NCT06224309

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This completed early-phase study tested a new radioactive tracer called 18F-BL40 for PET/CT scans in 10 adults with certain blood cancers (like lymphoma and leukemia). The goal was to see if it safely and accurately detects tumors by targeting a receptor common in many cancers. Researchers compared it to a standard tracer to evaluate its potential for better cancer imaging.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
18F-BL40 (a radioactive tracer for PET/CT scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new, non-invasive way to detect and monitor certain blood cancers, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment planning.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (10 participants) focused on safety and imaging, not treatment. The tracer may not prove effective for all cancer types or may have unexpected side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥19 years 2. Life expectancy ≥3 months 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2 4. Participants with newly diagnosed or documented recurrent malignancy with one of the following cancers: * Diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma * Multiple myeloma * Mantle cell lymphoma * Marginal zone lymphoma * Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small cell lymphoma * Waldenström Macroglobulinemia 5. For all indications except multiple myeloma, the participants at the time of enrolment must either be at initial presentation with histologically confirmed lymphoma, or have the presence of measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or at least one visualized lesion on positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging (from an \[18F\]FDG PET) within 60 days of enrolment. In the case of participants with multiple myeloma, there must be documented relapse or progressive disease by MRI or \[18F\]FDG PET/CT imaging, or measurable disease within 60 days of enrolment (serum M-protein ≥0.5 g/dL or urine Bence-Jones protein ≥200 mg/24 hours). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or breast-feeding 2. Medically unstable (e.g., acute illness, unstable vital signs) 3. Unable to lie supine for the duration of imaging 4. Unable to provide written consent 5. Exceeds safe weight limit of the PET/CT bed (204.5 kg) or unable to fit through the PET/CT bore (diameter 70 cm) 6. Participants with widespread liver metastases occupying more than 50% of the liver volume will not be eligible to participate in this study as this would preclude assessment of normal liver activity for dosimetry purposes. 7. Participants who have received chemotherapy or dexamethasone (\> 4 mg/day) within 3 weeks or antibody therapy within 6 weeks prior to the \[18F\]BL40 or \[18F\]FDG PET/CT scans. 8. Participants who have received radiotherapy in the previous 6 weeks prior to \[18F\]BL40 or \[18F\]FDG PET/CT scans to sites of measurable active disease.
