New scan could reveal hidden cancers in PD-L1 patients
NCT ID NCT07618936
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a special type of PET/CT scan that looks for a protein called PD-L1 on cancer cells. The goal is to see if this scan can find tumors and their spread more accurately than standard imaging. About 500 adults with suspected or known PD-L1-related cancers will receive the scan, and researchers will measure how well it detects cancer lesions.
