FAPI PET-CT scan to find unknown primary cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of PET-CT scan using a tracer called FAPI to find the original source of cancer when standard tests have not been able to. It may help identify the primary tumor in people with cancer that has spread from an unknown location.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have cancer that has spread (metastasized), but doctors cannot find where it started despite standard tests, including a PET-CT scan
- You have not had chemotherapy or other systemic therapy for this cancer of unknown origin
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can lie still on your back for the PET-CT scan and are not severely claustrophobic

This trial tests a radioactive medicine (Lu-177 FAP-2286) that seeks out and delivers radiation directly to cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer started in an unknown place and has not responded to their first chemotherapy.
This study uses a special PET scan (FAPI-PET) during routine workup to help detect tumors and decide how far they may have spread. You may be able to take part if you need a staging or restaging scan and can safely complete the imaging.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan (Ga68-FAPI-46) to better see if cancer from the colon, rectum, or ovary has spread to the lining of the belly. If you are already scheduled for surgery to remove these cancer spots, this scan may help your doctors plan a more complete operation.
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (FAPI) to get a better look at the environment around colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help doctors learn more about the tumor and plan treatment.
This study tests a special PET scan that may help find where a cancer that started somewhere unknown originated. It could help doctors choose the right treatment by locating the hidden primary tumor.
This study uses a new type of PET scan (called FAPI) to better see if cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It may help your doctor plan the right treatment without needing invasive tests.
