CD38-targeted PET/CT for detecting Multiple Myeloma lesions compared with FDG PET/CT

Official title: Clinical Investigation of CD38-Targeted Molecular Imaging Probes in Multiple Myeloma

Run by Guilin Medical University, China · NCT07782944 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests a CD38-targeted PET/CT scan to see if it detects multiple myeloma lesions as well or better than the standard FDG PET/CT.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with newly diagnosed, highly suspected recurrence, or known metastases of multiple myeloma who are scheduled for both CD38 PET/CT and FDG PET/CT imaging.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose disease does not express CD38 or who do not have lesions detectable by CD38 PET/CT may not benefit.

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

What this trial studies

Researchers compare a CD38-targeted PET/CT imaging method to the usual FDG PET/CT in adults with multiple myeloma or suspected recurrence. The study uses concurrent imaging to quantify tumor uptake and count lesions, then analyzes diagnostic accuracy against standard imaging. It is noninvasive and focuses on imaging performance rather than therapy. Enrollment includes adults requiring both imaging modalities, with analysis based on SUVmax and lesion counts.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, CD38 PET/CT could improve lesion detection and help guide management for multiple myeloma.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests CD38-targeted imaging is promising for multiple myeloma, but broader validation is needed.
