New scan duo could spot stomach cancer more clearly
NCT ID NCT07510867
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether combining a special PET scan (18F-FAPI) with detailed MRI can better detect stomach cancer and its spread. Researchers will compare the accuracy of these scans in 230 people with suspected or confirmed gastric cancer. The goal is to see if this combo improves diagnosis and helps predict patient outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 18F-FAPI (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, non-invasive way to diagnose and stage gastric cancer, helping doctors choose the best treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The new imaging method may not prove significantly better than existing scans, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and prognostic value of 18F-FAPI PET/CT combined with multiparameter MRI in gastric cancer. Primary endpoint: Diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FAPI PET/CT combined with multiparametric MRI in gastric cancer patients (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) secondary end points: * To compare the diagnostic performance differences between 18F-FAPI PET/CT and contrast-enhanced MRI in the clinical application of gastric cancer; ② Analysis of diagnostic differences in the subgroup (pathological, genetic, etc.) of patients using 18F-FAPI PET/CT combined with multiparameter MRI; ③ Evaluation of 18F-FAPI PET/CT combined with multiparameter MRI in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer.
