New treatment option for Cushing s Syndrome
Official title Diagnostic Value of CXCR4-targeted PET/CT in ACTH-dependent and Independent Cushing's Syndrome
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07350707
What this study is testing
What is 68Ga-Pentixafor?
68Ga-Pentixafor is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for cushing s syndrome.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- In previous clinical practice, 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT has demonstrated promising diagnostic utility in various neuroendocrine tumors by targeting CXCR4, a chemokine receptor overexpressed in several ACTH-secreting neoplasms. Building on this, and leveraging the Nuclear Medicine expertise at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, we aim to conduct a prospective observational study investigating the role of CXCR4-targeted PET/CT imaging in patients with confirmed or suspected Cushing's syndrome.
