A new PET scan to grade kidney cancer before surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new PET scan (a special imaging test) to better grade kidney cancer before surgery. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors understand how aggressive the cancer is, so they can plan the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a kidney tumor that is between 2 cm and 7 cm in size (roughly the size of a grape to a small plum).
- You must be planning to have surgery to remove the tumor.
- The tumor must look like a clear cell kidney cancer on a CT scan (a special imaging test).
- You must have French Social Security health coverage.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must not have other serious health issues that would make this scan unsafe.

This Phase 1 study tests whether a special PET/CT scan drug ([18F]PT2385) can help doctors see kidney cancer and related tumors. It may help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions, especially in people planning surgery or starting belzutifan.
This study tests a new kind of PET scan that might better detect kidney cancer. It involves an injection of a special imaging agent and a scan to see if the cancer shows up clearly.
This study uses a special PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of kidney masses. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help decide the best treatment, without needing a biopsy or prior treatment.
This study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a tracer called 68Ga-RCCB6 to see kidney cancer more clearly. It compares this scan to another PET scan (68Ga-PSMA) to help doctors stage the cancer, check treatment response, and detect any return of the disease.
This trial tests a new PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer to find clear cell kidney cancer. If you are scheduled for kidney tumor removal, this scan may help your surgeon see the cancer more clearly before surgery.
This trial tests a special PET scan to see if it can better find leftover kidney cancer after surgery compared to a standard CT scan. You may qualify if you had kidney cancer surgery within the last 4-16 weeks and are at high risk of the cancer coming back.
