FAPI imaging for newly diagnosed rectal cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new imaging agent called 68Ga-FAPI to see how well it finds rectal cancer and guides treatment. It's for people with new stage II or III rectal cancer who are about to start neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a new diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma (a type of rectal cancer).
- Your cancer is stage II or III (hasn't spread to distant organs).
- You are at least 18 years old and able to care for yourself (ECOG 0 or 1).
- You are scheduled to receive total neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery).
- You have no serious health problems or allergies to the imaging agents used.

This trial tests a new type of PET scan called Ga-68-FAPI-46 to help find if your colorectal cancer has returned when your CEA levels are rising. It might offer a more accurate way to detect recurrence early.
This trial tests a new imaging agent, [18F]FAPI-74, which might help detect certain cancers more clearly. The scan looks for a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that is often found in tumors. If you have one of the listed cancers and are about to start treatment, this study could help doctors see where the cancer is and how it responds to therapy.
This trial is testing a new imaging method called FAPI-PET to see if it can help find and understand tumors better than standard scans. It is for people with newly diagnosed stomach/esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, or those with unclear symptoms or scan results.
This trial uses a special PET scan that targets a substance called FAP to better find oral squamous cell cancer and check for recurrence. It may help doctors see where cancer activity is and guide treatment planning, especially around surgery and (for some people) neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan (FAPI-PET) to see if it can better find colon cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It may help doctors plan the right treatment for you.
This trial uses two types of PET/CT scans (FDG and FAPI) to better see and track colorectal cancer that has spread to the belly lining (peritoneum). It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment by improving how they detect and monitor the cancer.
