Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with suspected or untreated lymphoproliferative diseases who can undergo 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT and sign informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose disease does not overexpress CXCR4 or who cannot tolerate PET imaging may not experience a diagnostic or prognostic benefit.

What this trial studies

This prospective, early-phase study uses 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT to measure CXCR4 expression in patients with suspected or untreated lymphoproliferative diseases. The goal is to determine if metabolic imaging of CXCR4 can improve diagnostic accuracy, risk stratification, and prognostic assessment beyond standard methods. Participants will undergo 18F-FDG PET/CT within two weeks prior to enrollment and receive the CXCR4-targeted PET/CT as part of the evaluation. The study focuses on lymphoma subtypes, multiple myeloma, and leukemia, with an emphasis on CXCR4 expression as a biomarker. Outcomes include correlation with disease characteristics and potential implications for patient management.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, CXCR4 PET imaging could improve how doctors diagnose and predict disease course for patients with lymphoproliferative malignancies.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research suggests CXCR4-targeted PET/CT can quantify CXCR4 expression and may aid in imaging-based assessment of hematologic cancers.
