Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–80 with suspected or histologically confirmed hematologic malignancies who can provide informed consent and undergo PET imaging and any indicated biopsies.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, unable to tolerate PET, have had excessive prior radiation exposure, or whose tumors lack CXCR4 expression are unlikely to benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study uses 18F‑NOTA‑Pentixafor, a PET tracer that binds the CXCR4 receptor, to image patients with suspected or confirmed hematologic malignancies. Participants will receive the tracer and undergo PET imaging about one hour after injection, with image quality and lesion detection compared to standard imaging and available pathology. The study aims to determine whether 18F‑Pentixafor provides better spatial resolution or broader applicability than 18F‑FDG across different blood cancers. Data will include diagnostic performance, staging information, and response evaluation in treated patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could offer more sensitive and specific PET imaging for a wider range of blood cancers, improving diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring.

How similar studies have gone: Related CXCR4‑targeted agents such as 68Ga‑Pentixafor have shown promising results in hematologic cancers, but 18F‑Pentixafor is newer and less extensively tested.
