Nuclidium wins award to study NET radiopharmaceutical – Phase 1 Clinical Trial of TraceNET (TM)

What is TraceNETTM TraceNETTM is a a novel copper-based 'radiodiagnostic' for detecting neuroendocrine tumours (NET). The PET imaging agent candidate is the diagnostic component of NUCLIDIUM’s theranostic program, which comprises a true theranostic pair for diagnosing and treating NET patients, leveraging the company’s unique copper-based approach. The Phase 1 program for the diagnostic is the first step in its clinical development and is planned to commence in the first half of 2023. Nuclidium’s TraceNETTM program aims to overcome key limitations of existing radiodiagnostics and their corresponding therapeutics by increasing the sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of NET imaging, including detecting metastases, while…

Detectnet™ (64Cu-DOTATATE) – an expansion of the Somatostatin Receptor PET Imaging for Neuroendocrine Cancer

Updated Jan 2026What is 64CU dotatate It’s a high‑resolution PET tracer for imaging somatostatin‑receptor–positive neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), offering better lesion detection, longer imaging windows, and lower positron energy than 68Ga‑labelled agents. It consistently produces high tumour‑to‑background contrast and often finds additional metastatic sites missed by older SPECT agents like 111In‑octreotide. 🧬 64Cu‑DOTATATE vs 68Ga‑DOTATATE A clear, patient‑friendly comparison Both scans are excellent for finding neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). They work in the same basic way: a tracer attaches to somatostatin receptors on NET cells, and a PET/CT scanner shows where those cells are. The differences mainly relate to image clarity, timing,…
