Imaging test of lymph vessels using a new tracer
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests a new imaging method using a radioactive tracer to visualize lymph vessels in the belly and chest. Researchers want to understand how this imaging works in healthy people and in patients with suspected blockages in lymph vessels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This early (Phase 1) study tests how a special scan works in people with relapsed or hard-to-treat leukemia types. The scan uses a tracer called 18F FLT, and the study looks to see if it can be done safely (without sedation) and how it relates to treatment.
This Phase 1 study tests a new PET/CT imaging tracer to see how well it can detect breast cancer spots in the body. It may help doctors learn where breast cancer is and how imaging could work better in the future.
This study tests a new kind of PET/CT scan that uses a tracer called 18F-FAPI to see if it can better detect cancer in the lymph nodes under the arm after you've already had chemotherapy or targeted therapy before surgery. If successful, this could help doctors plan more precise surgery and avoid removing unnecessary lymph nodes.
This early-phase trial tests a new radioactive tracer to see how it binds in healthy people and in patients with fatty liver disease (MASH), Crohn's disease, or primary sclerosing cholangitis. The goal is to learn if the tracer can help detect or monitor these conditions.
This study uses a special scan (molecular imaging) to see how well antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) work in people with breast cancer. It may help doctors choose the right treatment for you.
This early-phase study uses PET/CT scans to see how well a new radioactive tracer (a tiny dose of a special material) highlights solid tumors in the body. It may help researchers learn whether this tracer can better find and track tumor spots seen on standard scans.
