New PET tracer targets cancer cells for sharper tumor imaging
NCT ID NCT07691775
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new imaging agent called F18 FBPA, which is designed to light up cancer cells during a PET/CT scan. The agent targets a protein often found on solid tumors, potentially making tumors easier to see. Researchers want to find the best dose and timing for the scan, and check if it is safe. The study includes adults aged 18 to 80 with various solid tumors, such as lung, breast, or brain cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- F18 FBPA Injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging method could help doctors detect and stage solid tumors more accurately, potentially guiding better treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The imaging agent may not work as well in some tumor types or could cause unexpected side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject aged 18-80 (inclusive). 2. Histopathological confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor (including but not limited to osteogenic sarcoma, brain tumors, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer). 3. At least one measurable lesion identified on prior imaging evaluation, assessed by RECIST version 1.1. 4. Willingness to undergo PET/CT scan. 5. Provision of signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Body weight \> 80 kg at screening. 2. Any contraindication to PET, including active breastfeeding. Female subjects of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening. 3. History of claustrophobic reactions. 4. History of phenylketonuria. 5. History of research-related radiation exposure exceeding the Nuclear Safety Commission's current guideline of 50 mSv within the past 12 months. 6. Inability to lie comfortably in a supine position for more than 60 minutes.as assessed by physical examination and medical history (e.g., back pain, severe arthritis). 7. Subjects from other at-risk populations, including minors, cognitively impaired individuals. 8. Suspected or known hypersensitivity (including allergy) to any F18 FBPA components or contrast media 9. Hereditary fructose intolerance. 10. A greater risk than normal for potential cardiac arrest such as history of non-compensated congestive heart failure, poorly controlled arrythmias or symptomatic non compensated cardiopathies. 11. Inadequate organ function within 30 days prior to the F18 FBPA PET/CT, defined as: QTc \> 460 msec; Serum Albumin \< 2.8 mg/mL; Total Bilirubin \> 3.0 mg/mL; ALT ≥ 400 U/L and/or AST ≥ 400 U/L; Creatinine \< 0.5 mg/dL or \> 1.4 mg/dL; eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 12. Any medical or psychiatric conditions under the supervision of the investigator may interfere with optimal participation in the study or place the subject at increased risk of AEs. 13. History of radiation therapy within 3 months prior to the screening visit. 14. History of renal impairments, including nephrolithiasis, nephrotic syndrome, or hematuria, and/or other severe renal conditions in the opinion of the investigator.
