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.
