Notes

Added from reverse module search (stage 6); 1 article(s) with Cu-64. Also seen with Cu-67[1] (too few articles for own row). Stage set/updated at stage 23 from PMID 30442752: 'we have performed a first-time-in-humans trial of 64Cu-MeCOSar-Tyr3-octreotate (64Cu-SARTATE) to assess its safety and ability to localize disease at early and late imaging time-points'. | Stage 30 (2026-09-18): Stage was 'first-in-human'; normalised to 'Clinical research', original wording kept here.
