PET/CT scan test for small cell lung cancer marker DLL3
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special PET/CT imaging scan that may help doctors find where small cell lung cancer (and some related tumors) are in the body using a DLL3 target. It’s a Phase 1/2 study, mainly to see how well the scan detects tumors and guides care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (or in a pediatric arm, at least age 4) and can give informed consent
- You have a confirmed small cell lung cancer, or another eligible neuroendocrine tumor (or specific other tumor types as listed)
- Recent imaging shows at least one tumor spot (on CT/MRI, or on PET scans, or new bone metastases on scan) within the last 12 weeks when required
- You can have the scan without extra sedation/anesthesia, and you can safely complete PET/CT even with the weight limit
- You’re able to provide tumor tissue for a DLL3 test (or for some prostate cases, you may need to agree to a guided biopsy if tissue isn’t available)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PFD3) to take pictures of small cell lung cancer tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better diagnose and evaluate the cancer, which may guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests a new drug, ZG006, that targets a protein called DLL3 found on some cancer cells. It may be an option for people with small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma who have run out of standard treatments.
This study tests a new targeted radiation therapy (called [225Ac]Ac-ETN029) for people with advanced cancers that have a protein called DLL3 on their cells. The treatment is designed to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells, and the goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
This Phase 2 study tests how different doses of BI 764532 affect people with small cell lung cancer or certain other neuroendocrine cancers. It may help shrink tumors and improve symptoms after standard treatments have stopped working.
This trial tests a new drug called IDE849 for cancers that make a protein called DLL3, including small cell lung cancer and some neuroendocrine tumors. It is for people whose cancer has progressed after standard treatments, and may be given alone or combined with other drugs like durvalumab or IDE161.
This trial tests a new drug called 177Lu-DTPA-SC16.56, which delivers radiation directly to cancer cells that have a specific marker called DLL3. It is for people with high-grade neuroendocrine lung or prostate cancer that has spread and gotten worse after at least one round of chemotherapy.
