Using Ga-68-CXCR4 PET/CT to improve detection of indolent B-cell lymphoma

Official title: Ga-68-CXCR4 PET/CT in Detecting, Evaluating Response to Treatment, and Monitoring Risk of Aggressiveness of Indolent B-cell Lymphoma

Run by Koo Foundation Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center · NCT06461182 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new type of PET scan to see if it can better detect and monitor slow-growing B-cell lymphoma in patients compared to the current method.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with slow-growing B-cell lymphomas who are scheduled for FDG PET scans.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe renal impairment, other malignancies, or those unable to undergo the PET scan procedure 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 evaluates the effectiveness of Ga-68-PentixaFor PET/CT imaging in detecting and monitoring indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It aims to assess treatment responses and the potential for disease aggressiveness, addressing the limitations of the current FDG-PET imaging method, which is less accurate for low-grade lymphomas. Participants will undergo Ga-68-CXCR4 PET/CT scans as part of their clinical evaluation, particularly if they are scheduled for FDG PET scans within a specified timeframe.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate detection and monitoring of indolent B-cell lymphoma, improving patient management.

How similar studies have gone: While Ga-68-PentixaFor PET has shown promise in various lymphomas, this specific application in indolent B-cell lymphoma is relatively novel.
