New imaging tracer could reveal how chemotherapy affects lymphoma blood vessels
NCT ID NCT02490891
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a special PET scan tracer called 18F-RGD-K5 in 21 people with lymphoma. The tracer highlights blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) in tumors. Scans were done before and after two rounds of chemotherapy to see how the tumors changed. The goal was to learn whether this imaging method can measure treatment response, not to treat the disease directly.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 18F-RGD-K5 tracer
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging method could help doctors see how well chemotherapy is working by tracking tumor blood vessel changes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 21 participants, so results may not apply to all lymphoma patients. The tracer is experimental and not yet proven to improve outcomes.
