[68Ga]-Pentixafor-PET/CT for the Imaging of Blood Cancers and Solid Tumors

Trial Status: active

This early phase I trial evaluates the uptake of the imaging agent [68Ga]-pentixafor in patients with blood cancer or solid tumors who are undergoing positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). The uptake of [68Ga]-pentixafor is the amount of absorption of the agent into tissues and cells. A PET/CT scan shows how tissues and organs are functioning. [68Ga]-pentixafor is a radioactive tracer that is given through a vein, and it gives off a small amount of radioactivity as it travels throughout the body. The radioactivity builds up in the locations where disease is, and it can help PET/CT scans see and take pictures of the disease. This trial aims to see whether [68Ga]-pentixafor works better than standard of care fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) in detecting and providing information about blood cancers and solid tumors.
