Prospective Exploratory Study of FAPi PET/CT With Histopathology Validation in Patients With Various Cancers

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To define the biodistribution of gallium Ga 68 fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPi)-46 (68Ga-FAPi-46) in normal and cancer tissues of patients with various malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the degree of 68Ga-FAPi-46 accumulation observed by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as opposed to the amount of FAP in excised cancer tissue.

II. To assess the 68Ga-FAPI-46 biodistribution correlation with 18F-FDG biodistribution and to define the frequency of the following phenotypes (FAP+/ FDG+, FAP-/ FDG+, FAP+/ FDG-, FAP-/ FDG-)

EXPERIMENTAL OBJECTIVE:

To assess the correlation of 68Ga-FAPI-46 biodistribution with 68Ga-DOTATATE or 18F-DOPA (FDOPA), depending on the specific indication in patients who had them available

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 68Ga-FAPi-46 intravenously (IV), and then undergo PET/computed tomography (CT) over 20-90 minutes. On another day, patients receive 18F-FDG and then undergo PET/computed tomography (CT) according to standard of care procedures (if applicable).
