Study Summary

This trial is testing how well a new diagnostic tool works in diagnosing patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. The tool is called copper 64Cu-DOTA-daratumumab positron emission tomography.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma who can undergo PET imaging, have acceptable organ function and performance status, and agree to birth control measures. Excluded are those recently treated with anti-CD38 antibodies, undergoing other cancer treatments, or having certain heart conditions, infections, or severe lung disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a diagnostic procedure using copper 64Cu-DOTA-daratumumab PET scans to assess the extent of multiple myeloma in patients before and after treatment. It's a phase I trial focused on evaluating how well this new imaging technique works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is an imaging study primarily involving diagnostic procedures rather than drug interventions, side effects may include discomfort from the PET scan process itself or reactions related to the daratumumab-based tracer used.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many participants are participating in this clinical exploration?

"At this time, the study in question is not currently recruiting. It was posted on February 21st 2018 and last updated on November 22nd 2022. Those looking for additional trials may consider neoplasms or positron emission tomography studies as there are 906 and 140 such clinical trials actively seeking participants respectively."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA sanctioned Positron Emission Tomography for medical use?

"Due to its experimental nature, the risk associated with PET is judged at a conservative level 1. This judgement reflects the lack of data present regarding both safety and efficacy in Phase 1 trials."

Answered by AI

Are any other experiments utilizing Positron Emission Tomography currently being conducted?

"Currently, 140 Positron Emission Tomography studies are in operation. Of these, 26 have progressed to Phase 3. These trials are primarily based around Harrison, New york yet span over 5,564 locations globally."

Answered by AI

What conditions is Positron Emission Tomography regularly used to diagnose?

"Positron Emission Tomography is the preferred method for treating biological response modifiers, but it has been observed to improve conditions such as refractory multiple myeloma, relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and cell transplants."

Answered by AI

Is this experiment currently enrolling participants?

"Per the details available on clinicaltrials.gov, this specific medical research is not recruiting any further patients at present. Initially posted in February 2018 and last edited in November 2022, while it has now concluded its recruitment phase; 1046 other studies are actively searching for participants presently."
