What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the uptake of the imaging agent [68Ga]-pentixafor in patients with various hematologic malignancies and solid tumors through PET/CT scans. It focuses on individuals with conditions such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and specific histiocytic neoplasms. The study will include treatment-naïve, therapy-refractory, or relapsed patients to assess the effectiveness of this imaging technique in identifying tumor presence and characteristics. A total of twenty patients will be enrolled based on specific eligibility criteria.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with treatment-naïve or relapsed blood cancers or specific solid tumors.

Not a fit: Patients with non-malignant conditions or those who have already received extensive treatment for their cancers may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy of tumor imaging, leading to better diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with hematologic and solid tumors.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies using similar imaging agents have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

Twenty patients with histologically proven treatment-naïve, therapy-refractory or relapsed blood cancers meeting the below criteria will be included:
