Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new imaging technique can improve the diagnosis and management of liver cancer. The new technique uses a radioactive chemical compound that attaches to a protein found on liver cancer cells. This allows doctors to see where the cancer cells are located.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced liver cancer that can't be removed by surgery or treated with curative intent. They must have a type of tumor that can be measured and be eligible for specific front-line therapy. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those too large for the PET/CT scanner are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if a new imaging technique using a radioactive compound called 68Ga-PSMA improves diagnosis and management of advanced liver cancer. It involves PET scans to detect tumors after the compound binds to proteins on cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to the radioactive tracer used in imaging, such as mild allergic reactions, discomfort at injection site, or exposure to radiation which is within safe limits but could carry long-term risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the current participant count for this experiment?

"Affirmative. Information available on clinicaltrials.gov showcases that this medical study, first posted on January 25th 2022, is presently hunting for participants. The trial requires approximately 30 patients from a single site to be recruited."

Answered by AI

Are there presently vacancies available to enroll in this experiment?

"According to the clinicaltrials.gov website, this research project is currently attempting to find participants. The study was initially posted on January 25th 2022 and has been updated as of March 11th 2022."

Answered by AI

What adverse effects has Computed Tomography been associated with in patients?

"The safety rating of computed tomography, based on the assessments by Power's team, is 2. This ranking reflects that there is clinical evidence in support of its safety but not for efficacy as this study only encompasses Phase 2 trials."
