Nectin-4 PET/CT imaging to differentiate renal tumors

Official title: A Study to Evaluate 18F-N230A PET/CT Imaging of Nectin-4 Expression in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma and Renal Pelvic Urothelial Carcinoma

Run by Peking University First Hospital · NCT07875959 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests a new PET tracer, 18F-N230A, to see if it helps distinguish renal cell carcinoma from renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma in adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with suspected or confirmed renal tumors scheduled for biopsy or surgical resection within 2 months.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors do not express Nectin-4 or who have negative imaging findings may not benefit from the imaging approach.

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

What this trial studies

The study evaluates safety, biodistribution, and imaging features of 18F-N230A PET/CT in patients with suspected or confirmed renal tumors who are scheduled for biopsy or surgery. Participants undergo 18F-N230A PET/CT and standard 18F-FDG PET/CT, with imaging results compared to pathology as the reference standard. The goal is to determine whether 18F-N230A PET/CT provides clearer differentiation between tumor types and adds value to preoperative planning. Data on imaging quantification and diagnostic performance will be analyzed. The study is conducted at Peking University First Hospital and is limited to adults.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this tracer could improve preoperative tumor type differentiation and inform treatment decisions.

How similar studies have gone: Similar Nectin-4 targeting imaging has shown promise in other epithelial cancers, but application in renal tumors is exploratory.
