Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with urothelial carcinoma who are recommended for PET/CT examination.

Probably not a fit

Patients with serious liver, kidney, or blood abnormalities, or those who are pregnant or lactating, may not 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 study evaluates the effectiveness of a specific PET probe, [68Ga]N188, in detecting nectin-4 overexpression in patients with urothelial carcinoma, particularly those with recurrent or advanced bladder cancer. The approach involves using this imaging technique to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. Participants will undergo PET/CT examinations to assess the presence of measurable target lesions as per RECIST1.1 criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the detection and management of urothelial carcinoma, leading to better treatment outcomes for patients.

How similar studies have gone: While this specific approach is novel, similar imaging techniques have shown promise in other cancer types, indicating potential for success.
