New imaging test for different cancers using FAPI-PET
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been newly diagnosed with stomach, esophageal, or pancreatic cancer (or have another type of cancer with unclear findings).
- You have recently had a standard PET/CT scan or CT/MRI as part of your workup.
- Your cancer has not spread too far (certain stages for stomach and pancreatic cancers).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy, and if you could become pregnant, you must use effective birth control.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan (using a drug called [18F]F-FAPI) and a laparoscopy (a small camera through the belly) can better show the spread of advanced stomach or esophagus cancer before surgery. The goal is to help doctors decide the best treatment plan.
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 tests a new imaging method called FAPI-PET to see if it can better detect pancreatic and bile duct cancers at an early stage. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment plan for you.
This trial tests a new imaging agent (18F-FAPI) to see if it can help find tumors early in people with lung, thyroid, pancreatic, melanoma, or neuroendocrine cancers.
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 study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer called FAPI-74 to find cancer spread in people with pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better plan treatment.
