In-Human CXCR4 Imaging of Hematologic and Solid Tumors Using [68Ga]-Pentixafor-PET
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to determine the uptake of the imaging agent \[68Ga\]-pentixafor with PET/CT scans in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or you have histiocytic neoplasms (Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) and/or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD).

The purpose of this study is to determine the uptake of the imaging agent \[68Ga\]-pentixafor with PET/CT scans in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or you have histiocytic neoplasms (Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) and/or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD).
Interventions
DRUG
[68Ga]-Pentixafor
An intravenous bolus of 3 -5 mCi of \[68Ga\]-Pentixafor will be injected in all participants.
Primary outcome measures
Tumor standard uptake value (SUV)
Time frame: 1 year
Means and 95% confidence intervals for \[68Ga\]-Pentixafor standardized uptake values (SUV) and tumor-to-background ratios (TBR) of tumors will be recorded. Uptake will be measured in tumors.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria

- MGUS/SMM or MM according to IMWG definitions
- Solid tumors, such as lung cancers, meningioma, adrenocortical neoplasms including cortisol-producing adenomas or high suspicion for tumor, such as in patients with Cushing's disease.
- Negative serum pregnancy test for female volunteers of childbearing age and potential (as defined by MSKCC Standards \& Guidelines) from assays obtained \<2 weeks prior to study enrollment/intervention; or negative urine pregnancy test performed on the day of intervention
- MSKCC patients
Exclusion criteria
- Breast-feeding
- History of renal functional disorders (chronic kidney disease with eGFR\<30)

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
