64Cu-LLP2A PET/CT for the Imaging of Hematologic Malignancies, Part B

Trial Status: active

This early phase I trial studies whether 64Cu-LLP2A can be used during positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) for the imaging of hematologic malignancies. PET is a procedure in which a small amount of radiotracer is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the radiotracer is used. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in the patient’s body. 64Cu-LLP2A binds to and is taken up by very-late-antigen-4 (VLA-4)-expressing cancer cells. Upon PET, the VLA-4-expressing cancer cells can be visualized, and the cancer can be assessed to see how active the cancer is in the body. This may be effective for the imaging of hematologic malignancies.
