New PET scan agent could predict cancer therapy success, but trial never started
NCT ID NCT06922825
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study aimed to test whether a radioactive imaging agent called 68Ga-FAPI-46 could predict how well solid tumor patients respond to antibody therapy. The plan was to give 50 participants an injection of the agent, then perform a PET/CT scan and compare it to standard MRI or CT scans. However, the trial was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are available.
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 imaging agent)
- What this could lead to
- If it had succeeded, this could have pointed toward a more accurate imaging method to predict how well antibody therapy works in solid tumor patients.
- What could go wrong
- This trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data was collected. Even if it had run, it was a very early pilot study with only 50 participants, so results would have been preliminary and uncertain.
