New imaging agent spots hidden cancers
NCT ID NCT02293954
First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This pilot study tests a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer (64Cu-M5A) to find cancers that produce a protein called CEA. The goal is to see if this scan can detect tumors that standard methods might miss. About 20 adults with breast, colon, lung, or other CEA-positive cancers will receive the tracer and have PET scans at 1 and 2 days after injection. This is a diagnostic study, not a treatment.
