Relevance of [68Ga]Ga -PentixaFor-PET for Initial Staging and Therapeutic Evaluation of Multiple Myeloma

Exploratory Study Evaluating the Relevance of [68Ga]Ga -PentixaFor for Initial Staging and Therapeutic Evaluation of Symptomatic Multiple Myeloma Patients in First Line Treatment or in Relapse

The aim of our study is to confirm the relevance of PET using [68Ga]Ga -PentixaFor ligand, in comparison with FDG, for initial staging and therapeutic evaluation of symptomatic multiple myeloma patients in first line treatment or in relapse. The prognostic value of positive CXCR4 expression will also be assessed and [68Ga]Ga -PentixaFor/FDG discordances explored.
