PET scan imaging for pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a new imaging agent called 64Cu-DOTA A2 to help see pancreatic cancer on a PET scan. It may help doctors find cancer that has spread, without the need for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery.
- Your doctor has confirmed the cancer on a recent scan (within the last 8 weeks).
- You have not had radiation treatment to the tumor.
- Your liver and kidney function tests are within acceptable ranges.
- You are able to take care of yourself (more than 70% on the Karnofsky scale).

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.
This trial tests a special imaging scan (a PET/CT with a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46) to look at “cancer-support” cells in people with localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It may help doctors better understand the tumor and how it responds before surgery after initial treatment.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer (FAPI) to get clearer images of pancreatic cancer. The goal is to find cancer earlier and better plan surgery or treatment.
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-grazytracer) to see how well immunotherapy is working for pancreatic cancer. It may help your doctor understand if your treatment is effective.
This study tests a new imaging agent (68Ga-FAPI-46) to see if it can better show the extent of pancreatic cancer before surgery. It may help doctors plan your surgery more accurately.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a detailed imaging test) called [68Ga]Ga-FAPI that may help doctors see cancer better and faster than standard scans. You'll receive this experimental scan to see if it improves cancer detection before surgery.
