ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new imaging agent called [18F]Fluorthanatrace (FTT) to see how it works in women with suspected ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. The goal is to understand how this agent spreads in the body, how it is broken down, and how it is removed, which could help doctors learn more about these types of cancers. The study is open to women aged 18 and older who have either a known or suspected diagnosis of these cancers and have at least one tumor that is 1 cm or larger.
If you decide to participate, you will undergo imaging tests to help researchers gather important information about how well the FTT agent works in identifying cancer. The study will include up to 40 women, with some focusing on how the agent is distributed in the body and others looking at how it interacts with cancer tissue. It’s important to note that pregnant or breastfeeding women cannot participate, and those with certain medical conditions that may affect safety are also excluded. This trial is still recruiting participants, so if you meet the eligibility criteria, you could play a vital role in advancing cancer research!
