NCT ID NCT04459273

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new imaging agent called 68Ga-FAPI-46 to see where it goes in the body of patients with many different types of cancer. The goal is to understand if this tracer can help doctors better see and understand tumors by highlighting specific cells around them. Participants receive the tracer and then undergo a PET/CT scan, and the results are compared to tissue samples from surgery or biopsy.
