PD-L1-targeted PET probe to map PD-L1 in solid tumors
Official title: Clinical Investigator-Initiated Trial (IIT) of PD-L1-Targeted Radionuclide Probes
Run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute · NCT07848243 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A PET tracer called 18F-F-PDL1-3 is being tested to see if it can detect PD-L1 expression in primary and metastatic tumors to help guide personalized treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with pathologically confirmed solid tumors (including lung, cervical, melanoma, breast, and gastrointestinal cancers) with measurable disease and adequate organ function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without detectable or targetable PD-L1 expression or without measurable disease may derive limited or no benefit from this imaging approach.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 interventional study uses an 18F-labeled PD-L1 probe to image PD-L1 expression in patients with solid tumors, including NSCLC, cervical cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, and gastrointestinal cancers. Participants undergo dynamic and static PET/CT imaging after administration of the tracer, with follow-up medical record collection to compare imaging results with tissue PD-L1 status and monitor changes over time. The trial aims to assess whether the imaging results correlate with traditional biopsy findings and whether they can support patient selection, treatment monitoring, and early detection of resistance or progression. Enrollment targets 50 patients, with standardized imaging protocols and data collection across time points. Safety and feasibility of the imaging approach are also evaluated.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may receive more accurate, individualized therapy guided by their tumor’s PD-L1 status.
How similar studies have gone: Prior imaging studies using PD-L1-targeted probes have shown potential for assessing PD-L1 expression, but this specific probe and setting are being further explored for validation.
