What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether a new type of PET scan using a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46 can more accurately detect the spread of pancreatic and bile duct cancers compared to standard CT and MRI scans. The goal is to see if this scan changes how doctors classify the cancer stage and plan treatment. The trial will enroll 120 people with newly diagnosed, potentially curable cancers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
68Ga-FAPI-46 (a radioactive tracer for PET scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this scan could become a new standard for staging these cancers, helping doctors choose the right treatment earlier and avoid unnecessary surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 study with 120 participants, so results are still preliminary. The new scan may not prove more accurate than current methods, and it involves radiation exposure.

Inclusion Criteria: * Population 1: De novo pancreatic adenocarcinoma (pathological evidence) or strong suspicion of de novo pancreatic adenocarcinoma on imaging, immediately resectable, borderline or locally advanced, potentially requiring curative treatment and non-metastatic (M0), according to reference staging. - Population 2: De novo cholangiocarcinoma eligible for curative treatment (pathological evidence) or strong suspicion of de novo pancreatic adenocarcinoma on imaging, non-metastatic (M0), according to reference extension assessment. according to reference extension report Criteria common to both populations: * Age \>18 years at the time of signing the informed consent * Patient affiliated to a social security system * Free and informed consent signed by the participant and the investigator (at the latest on the day of inclusion and before any examination required by the research) Exclusion Criteria: * Tumor M+ or with suspicion of distant metastasis on standard staging. * Neoadjuvant treatment * History of other active cancer * Pregnant or breastfeeding woman * Person under legal protection (guardianship or curatorship) * Person unable to personally give consent * Person in an emergency situation * Exclusion period from another protocol * Person deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision
