68-Ga-FAPI PET Imaging in Malignancy

Phase 2
Withdrawn
Conditions
Cancer
Interventions
Drug: 68Ga-FAPI
Procedure: Computed Tomography (CT) scan
Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan
Registration Number
NCT04023240
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

This feasibility trial studies the use of gallium-68 (68Ga)-FAPI as the imaging agent for positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), collectively PET/CT, in patients with various cancers. PET uses a radioactive substance called 68Ga-FAPI, which attaches to cancer activated fibroblasts. The PET scanner takes pictures that capture where the radioactive drug is "lighting up" and attaching to tumor cells, which may help doctors recognize differences between tumor and healthy tissue. CT uses X-rays to make a picture of areas inside the body. Using 68Ga-FAPI in diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, may allow doctors to identify smaller tumors than standard imaging.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

To assess feasibility and biodistribution of PET imaging in malignancy using 68Ga-FAPI.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 68Ga-FAPI intravenously (IV) and then undergo PET/CT approximately 1 hour later.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 24-72 hours.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility of 68Ga-FAPI PET24 months

Feasibility of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT imaging will be done to assess patients with malignancy. Feasibility will be measured using Likert scale (1-non diagnostic; 5-excellent; anything 3 or more is diagnostic). The study will be feasible if \> 50% of scans will have a score of 3 or more
