Comparing PET/CT imaging methods in multiple myeloma patients

Official title: PET i Diagnostikk og Behandlingsrespons av Pasienter Med Myelomatose

Run by Oslo University Hospital · NCT03966443 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether a new type of PET/CT scan using amino acids gives better information than the standard FDG PET/CT scan for people with multiple myeloma who may need a stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are suitable for autologous stem cell transplantation.

Probably not a fit

Patients with contraindications to autologous stem cell transplantation may not receive any benefit from this study.

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 aims to compare the imaging findings of amino acid PET/CT with FDG PET/CT in patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The focus is on evaluating which imaging technique provides better insights for treatment planning, particularly for those eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). By analyzing the results from these two imaging modalities, the study seeks to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for myeloma patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved imaging techniques that enhance treatment planning for multiple myeloma patients.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies comparing various imaging techniques in oncology, this specific comparison of amino acid PET/CT and FDG PET/CT in multiple myeloma is relatively novel.
