Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with a confirmed cancer diagnosis who are treatment‑naïve or have progressed on standard therapy and have at least one imageable tumor ≥15 mm, or healthy adults who meet screening criteria, are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with cardiac risk factors for Torsades de Pointes, or individuals without sufficiently large imageable tumors are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

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

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 trial gives a single intravenous dose of the PET tracer [18F]LY4214835 to two groups: adults with confirmed cancer and imageable tumors, and overtly healthy volunteers. Participants will undergo PET imaging after the injection and be monitored with clinical exams, labs, and ECGs for safety and tolerability over roughly 35 days. The cancer cohort includes people who are treatment‑naïve or who have progressed on standard therapies and requires at least one tumor ≥15 mm for imaging. Exclusion criteria include pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain cardiac risk factors.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If safe and well tolerated, this tracer could give doctors a new PET imaging tool to better visualize tumors and aid diagnosis or treatment planning.

How similar studies have gone: Other 18F-labeled PET tracers have been successfully used for tumor imaging, but this specific compound is early-stage and has limited human data.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Cohort 1

  * Have a radiologically, cytologically, or histologically confirmed diagnosis of cancer
  * Are treatment-naïve to a systemic cancer therapy, OR have a documented disease progression on standard-of-care treatment (for example, failure of chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy)
  * Have at least 1 imageable tumor that is 15 millimeter (mm) or larger in the longest diameter
* Cohort 2

  * Are overtly healthy at the Screening Visit and upon reporting to the clinic for the positron emission tomography (PET) Imaging Visit, as determined by medical evaluation including updated medical history, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests, and electrocardiogram (ECG)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Are pregnant or intend to become pregnant during their participation in the study
* Are breastfeeding or intending to breastfeed during their participation in the study
* Have a history of risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (for example, heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome)
* Are actively receiving cancer therapy or are in between cycles of treatment
* Have a marked baseline prolongation of QT/corrected QT interval (QTc) interval (for example, repeated demonstration of a QTc interval greater than (\>) 450 millisecond (ms)
