Testing 68Ga-FAPI PET scan in biliary cancers
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new type of PET scan (called 68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better detect biliary tract cancers, including advanced or recurring gallbladder cancer and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. It may help doctors find cancer more accurately, which could guide better treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have suspected biliary tract cancer, either intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iHCC) or gallbladder cancer (GBC).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your cancer is advanced (T3, T4, or lymph node involvement), or you have residual gallbladder cancer after surgery, or there are signs of recurrence after treatment.
- You do not have another type of cancer at the same time.

This study uses a special PET scan drug (Ga-FAPI-46) to create clearer pictures of pancreatic and bile duct cancers. It may help doctors decide on the best next steps—especially before surgery—by checking tumor size and looking for spread.
This trial studies how well a special imaging test (68Ga-FAPI PET/MRI) can detect and evaluate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It may help doctors confirm diagnosis and plan next steps by seeing how the cancer takes up the tracer.
This trial tests a new PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (68Ga-FAPI-Biotin) to help detect and see various solid tumors. It may provide more detailed images to guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer (68Ga-FAPI) to help show tumors in the pancreas, bile ducts, stomach, or certain ovarian cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer is in preparation for surgery or biopsy.
This trial tests a new type of PET-CT scan (called FAPI) to see if it helps doctors better decide treatment for people with bile duct cancer that can be surgically removed. It may help avoid unnecessary surgery if the scan shows the cancer has spread.
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.
