A new imaging agent aims to make solid tumors visible on PET scans
NCT ID NCT06980506
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This expanded access program lets people with advanced solid tumors receive an investigational imaging agent called MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr before a PET/CT scan. The agent is designed to bind to uPAR, a protein found at higher levels in some tumors than in normal tissue. The goal is to see whether the scan can non-invasively detect uPAR in tumors, which might help doctors understand the cancer better. Participants must have solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments or have no standard options available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MNPR-101-DFO*-89Zr, an investigational antibody-based imaging agent for PET/CT scans
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging approach could help doctors see whether a patient's tumor expresses uPAR, potentially guiding more personalized treatment choices.
- What could go wrong
- This is an expanded access program, not a controlled trial, so it provides real-world data rather than proof of effectiveness. The imaging agent is investigational and may not work as hoped in all tumor types.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor cancer that is refractory to existing therapy(ies) known to provide clinical benefit, or for which no standard treatment is available, or is contraindicated * Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document Key Exclusion Criteria: * Continuing ≥ Grade 3 adverse reactions from prior systemic therapy (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] version 5.0) * Prior treatment with any radiopharmaceutical or investigational agents within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to administration of MNPR-101-DFO\*-89Zr * Evidence of impaired organ function, particularly bone marrow, liver, kidney, or heart, according to specific test parameters * Presence of other serious, non-malignant diseases or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the objectives of the study, participant safety, or compliance.
