FLT PET/CT in Measuring Response in Patients With Previously Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Early Assessment of Treatment Response in AML Using FLT PET/CT Imaging

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This phase II trial studies fluorothymidine F 18 (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in measuring response in patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. FLT is a radioactive substance that may "light up" where cancer is in the body. FLT is injected into the blood and builds up in cells that are dividing, including cancer cells. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, may help measure a patient's response to earlier treatment.

  • Patients must not have acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and must not have evidence of t(15;17)(q22;q21)
  • Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-3 (restricted to ECOG performance status \[PS\] 0-2 if age \> 70 years)
