New PET scan tracer for detecting cancer using EphA2
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new radioactive tracer (a type of dye) called 68Ga-DOTA-EphA2 that helps PET scanners find cancer cells. Researchers want to see if this tracer can better identify tumors in patients who may have cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–80 years old
- You have suspected or confirmed cancer with at least one tumor large enough to be seen on imaging (CT, MRI, or ultrasound)
- You are in good enough overall health to have a PET/CT scan (ECOG score of 0–2, meaning you can do most daily activities)
- Your liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs work well enough for safe PET/CT imaging
- You have not been in another drug or radioactive imaging study in the past 4 weeks
- You can hold still during a PET/CT scan and understand the study

This trial tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (called ⁶⁸Ga-FXX489) to help find and diagnose cancers. It is for people who are strongly suspected to have cancer and want to see if this new imaging method can help their doctors learn more about their disease.
This trial uses a special PET scan with a new tracer called 68Ga-DOTA-BLP to spot cancer and its spread in the body. It aims to see if this scan can find tumors in lymph nodes or other areas without needing more painful biopsies.
This trial tests a new PET imaging agent that targets CD73, a protein found on many cancer cells. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without chemotherapy or radiation before the scan.
This trial evaluates a new radioactive tracer that targets a protein called EpCAM found on many solid tumors. It aims to improve PET/CT scans for diagnosing and staging cancer. Participants will receive the tracer before their scheduled biopsy or surgery.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-MY6349) to better see prostate cancer in the body. It may help doctors find cancer that has come back or spread, so you can get the right treatment sooner.
This trial tests a new imaging method (68Ga-DOTA-mPNE PET/CT) to see if it can help detect cancers. It's for people who haven't had chemotherapy or radiation yet and will have a biopsy or surgery.
