Study Summary

This trial will test whether a new imaging agent, 18F-Clofarabine, can be used to show pyrimidine metabolism in order to better predict whether cancer drugs will be effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with metastatic carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, confirmed by imaging. Participants must have measurable disease, be able to stay still for an hour during imaging, and have normal organ function levels. It's not suitable for those with recent severe heart issues, significant bleeding, stroke risks, or pregnant/breastfeeding women.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a new PET/CT imaging agent called 18F-Clofarabine (CFA) can effectively image cancer metabolism related to pyrimidine metabolism—a factor in how well certain cancer drugs work.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects of the PET imaging agent are not detailed here but generally include potential allergic reactions to the tracer substance and discomfort from remaining still during the procedure.
