New scan may predict leukemia treatment success without bone marrow biopsy
NCT ID NCT02392429
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer called FLT can measure how well chemotherapy is working in adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The scan lights up fast-growing cancer cells, and researchers want to see if it can predict complete remission as accurately as a bone marrow biopsy. About 87 participants will receive the scan after starting treatment, and results will be compared to standard biopsy findings.
