New imaging agent could sharpen cancer detection

NCT ID NCT04499365

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial evaluates a radioactive tracer called 68Ga-DOTA/NOTA-FAPI-04, given as a single injection before a PET/CT scan, to see if it can better identify primary tumors and metastases in people with various cancers. Researchers will measure how strongly the tracer accumulates in suspicious lesions using a standard value called SUV. The study includes 500 adults with suspected, newly diagnosed, or previously treated malignant tumors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a radioactive tracer called 68Ga-DOTA/NOTA-FAPI-04, injected once before a PET/CT scan
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could improve the detection of cancer spread, helping doctors plan more accurate treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study, so the tracer may not prove more effective than existing scans. Results are based on imaging measures, not patient outcomes.
