What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that looks for a protein called DLL3 on small cell lung cancer cells. The goal is to see if this scan can find tumors more clearly than standard imaging methods like CT or regular PET scans. About 20 adults with suspected or confirmed small cell lung cancer will receive the special tracer and undergo imaging, with results compared to conventional scans.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
DLL3-targeted PET tracer
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could help doctors detect small cell lung cancer more accurately and guide treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The tracer's safety and effectiveness are still being evaluated.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 20 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2026

Expected to finish

May 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 80 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (aged 18 years or older); * Patients with suspected, newly diagnosed, and previously treated small cell lung cancer(supporting evidence may include imaging findings and pathology report); * Serum ProGRP or NSE level ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal; * Patients who were able to provide informed consent (signed by participant, parent or legal representative) and assent according to the guidelines of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee. * Estimated life expectancy of more than 3 months, as assessed by the investigator, and ability to comply with study procedures and scheduled visits; Exclusion Criteria: * The inability or unwillingness of the research participant or legal representative to provide written informed consent. * Inability to complete PET/CT imaging.
