New PET scan agent aims to spot cancers more precisely
NCT ID NCT07552467
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new radioactive imaging agent that targets a protein called LRRC15, found on many cancer cells. Researchers will use PET scans to see if this agent can better detect and stage cancers like pancreatic, breast, lung, and others. The trial includes 26 healthy volunteers and cancer patients to check safety and how the agent spreads in the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LRRC15-targeted PET radiotracer (diagnostic imaging agent)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate way to diagnose and stage several types of cancer, helping doctors choose better treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The imaging agent's safety and effectiveness are still being evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria: Each subject must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for study enrollment: 1. The subject or their legally authorized representative (LAR) is capable of providing a signed and dated informed consent form (ICF); 2. Willing and able to comply with all study procedures and cooperate throughout the entire duration of the study; 3. Adult patients or healthy volunteers, aged 18 years or older, male or female; 4. Patients with clinically suspected or confirmed malignancies (supported by evidence such as relevant serum tumor markers, imaging modalities including ultrasound, CT, and MRI, or histopathological examinations) who are in good general condition; 5. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have used effective contraception for at least one month prior to screening and agree to continue contraceptive use throughout the study period and for a specified duration following study completion; 6. Must meet any other protocol-specified inclusion criteria. Exclusion Criteria: Any subject meeting any of the following baseline criteria will be excluded from the study: 1. Inability to tolerate or complete PET/MR or PET/CT examinations (including, but not limited to, the inability to lie supine, claustrophobia, radiophobia, etc.); 2. Presence of other comorbidities, such as acute systemic illnesses and electrolyte imbalances; 3. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the LRRC15 radiotracer or its synthetic excipients; fasting blood glucose level exceeding 11.0 mmol/L prior to \[¹⁸F\]FDG injection; 4. Patients deemed by the investigator to have poor expected compliance; 5. Pregnant or lactating (nursing) women; 6. Presence of any other conditions or factors that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for participation in this trial.
