FAPI PET scan to diagnose pleural mesothelioma
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a newer type of PET scan (FAPI PET) can better diagnose pleural mesothelioma than a standard FDG PET scan. If you have a suspicious spot in your lung lining and need a biopsy, this study may help improve how we find and track this cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a suspicious lesion in your lung lining and are scheduled for a biopsy.
- You have already had or will have a standard FDG PET/CT scan as part of your workup.
- You are 18 years or older and able to understand the study and give consent.
- You are physically and mentally able to take part in the research.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant, you agree to a pregnancy test before each FAPI PET scan.
- You do not have another active cancer (except certain skin or cervical cancers) treated in the last year, and you are not in need of emergency surgery.

This study tests how useful a special PET/CT scan (called 68Ga-FAPI) is for people who may have or have been diagnosed with cancer. The scan may help doctors see cancer activity more clearly.
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI PET/CT) to see how well cancer in the abdomen (peritoneal metastases) is responding to chemotherapy. It may help doctors decide if the treatment is working.
This study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer called FAPI to find where cancer has spread in your body. It may help doctors see hidden tumors more clearly without needing extra treatments first.
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 uses a special PET scan called 18F-FAPI-04 to take detailed images of different kinds of cancer. It aims to see if this scan can help doctors better find and monitor tumors.
This trial studies a special PET/CT scan called FAPI PET/CT to see how well it can detect or track cancerous tumors. It may help doctors better understand your cancer without extra procedures.
