Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

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

Probably 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.

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

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.

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

* MGUS/SMM or MM according to IMWG definitions
* Solid tumors, such as lung cancers, meningioma, adrenocortical neoplasms including cortisol-producing adenomas or high suspicion for tumor, such as in patients with Cushing's disease.
* Age ≥18
* Negative serum pregnancy test for female volunteers of childbearing age and potential (as defined by MSKCC Standards \& Guidelines) from assays obtained \<2 weeks prior to study enrollment/intervention; or negative urine pregnancy test performed on the day of intervention
* MSKCC patients

Exclusion Criteria:

* Breast-feeding
* History of renal functional disorders (chronic kidney disease with eGFR\<30)
