AvignonAges 18 years+ - NCT06942104RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging agent for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new imaging agent (18F-TRX) to see if it can better detect cancer spread in people with advanced solid tumors. It is designed for patients with specific cancers like high-grade brain tumors, advanced kidney cancer, or prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05438563Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate cancer ablation with ultrasound from the urethra
This trial tests a newer way to treat certain low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancers using MRI guidance and an ultrasound probe placed through the urethra. It aims to destroy the tumor while using imaging to help target it more precisely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 45–80 - NCT07560306RecruitingPhase 3
New Heart Scan to Detect Blood Clots in Amyloid Heart Disease
This study tests a new type of imaging scan ([64Cu]FBP8 PET) to detect blood clots that may form in the heart's left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) in patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy (a disease where abnormal protein builds up in heart muscle) who also have irregular heartbeat. The scan may help doctors catch clots earlier and prevent strokes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05357612RecruitingPhase 4
PET scan study for brain serotonin in neurodegenerative diseases
This study uses a special PET brain scan tracer to better understand serotonin receptor activity in people with certain neurodegenerative conditions, especially when they develop hallucinations or delusions. The results may help researchers improve how these brain changes are measured and tracked over time.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 50–85 - NCT07007208RecruitingPhase 2
Brain imaging study to detect early Alzheimer's risk
This study uses brain scans (MRI and PET) to look at a tiny brain region called the locus coeruleus, which may show early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers want to see if changes in this area are linked to thinking skills and future memory decline.
ToulouseAges 60–100 - NCT07030712RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MK-8294 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called MK-8294 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It may be an option if you have certain types of cancer and are looking for a new treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05634031Recruiting
