New scan agent could spot pancreatic cancer more clearly
NCT ID NCT07597772
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study is testing a new contrast agent called 68Ga-NODAGA-SNA014, which targets a protein (CLDN18.2) found on some pancreatic cancer cells. The agent is used with PET/CT scans to see if it can safely and accurately highlight tumors. The study involves 12 adults with pancreatic cancer and focuses on safety and how well the agent binds to cancer cells.
