Lab study uses donated human tissue to speed up drug screening
NCT ID NCT07047677
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses leftover tissue from surgeries to test how experimental radiolabeled ligands bind to human cells. Researchers aim to create a platform that can quickly assess these agents without needing animal tests. The study involves 300 tissue samples and focuses on measuring how well the ligands stick to their targets.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this platform could help researchers quickly screen new imaging or therapeutic agents on real human tissue, potentially speeding up drug development.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, lab-based study using stored tissue samples, not a treatment trial. Results may not predict how the ligands behave in living patients.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
A maximum of 300 human tissue samples will be analyzed over a period of 5 years. This volume allows for the exploration of a variety of tissue types (tumor, inflammatory, healthy) and the testing of several types of radiolabeled molecules, while ensuring adequate reproducibility for each experimental condition. The samples will be provided by the Pathology Department of the Nancy University Hospital, in compliance with regulatory and ethical procedures. Each sample will undergo one or more ex vivo autohistoradiography analyses, without the need for any new samples.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who underwent surgical resection at the Nancy University Hospital after 2019 (Information provided in the welcome booklet or on posters displayed in waiting rooms, mentioning the possible use of data or resection specimens, unless otherwise stated). * No documented objection, in accordance with the MR004 methodology. * Frozen human tissues (slides, blocks, or sections) from surgical resection or biopsy, transmitted by the CRB or the biopathology department. * Samples are fully anonymized before being made available for analysis. Exclusion Criteria: * • Unusable tissue (degraded, insufficient, contaminated, poorly preserved). * Lack of traceability of the material. * Explicit opposition from the patient to the use of their tissue for research.
