A Pilot, Exploratory, Non-Randomized Study of PET/CT With the Investigational Agent [18F] Fluciclatide to Correlate With Response to Anti-Cancer Therapy

Description:

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if using the tracer (liquid used in imaging scans) \[18F\]fluciclatide in positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) scans will help researchers learn more quickly if the disease is responding to treatment.
