New imaging agent could help spot tumors in future cancer trials
NCT ID NCT01269593
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests a radioactive imaging drug called 124I-PUH71 in 63 people with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, myeloma, or solid tumors. The goal is to see how the drug travels through the body and collects in tumors, and how long it stays in the blood. This is not a treatment study; the results will help plan future trials that use higher doses of PUH71 to treat cancer or detect tumors with PET scans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 124I-PUH71 (a radioactive imaging agent)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors use PUH71 to detect tumors with PET scans and guide future treatment studies at higher doses.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early pilot study with only tiny doses of the drug. It is not designed to treat cancer, and the imaging approach may not work well for all tumor types.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with solid malignancy, myeloproliferative neoplasm, myeloma, and/or lymphoma (histology confirmed by MSKCC Department of Pathology) * Disease is measurable or evaluable as defined by RECIST (1.1 or original version) or other tumor response criteria from an MSKCC IRB-approved clinical research protocol. * This does not apply to patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm. The presence of active myeloproliferative neoplasm will be determined by applicable disease specific diagnostic criteria and patient assessment by the patient's oncologist and trial investigators (eg, manifestations of active MPN such as splenomegaly, abnormal blood counts, etc). * Age between 18-90 * Negative serum pregnancy test for females of childbearing age (11-55 years) and/or lack child-bearing potential * No breast-feeding Exclusion Criteria: * Previous allergic reaction to contrast medium. * Hypersensitivity to iodide products. * Known hyperthyroidism Hepatic: * Bilirubin \> 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) * AST/ALT \>2.5 x ULN * Albumin \< 2 g/dl * GGT \> 2.5 x ULN IF Alkaline phosphatase \> 2.5 x ULN. Renal: Creatinine \>1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance \< 60 mL/min. * Positive serum pregnancy test for females * Acute major illness (e.g., infection, unstable cardiovascular condition, etc.)
