Targeted PET imaging could revolutionize cancer treatment selection
NCT ID NCT07554742
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new PET imaging tracer, [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-SNA014, to detect a protein called Claudin18.2 in pancreatic and stomach cancers. The goal is to see if the scan can accurately identify patients whose tumors have this protein, which could help doctors choose the right targeted therapy. The trial will involve 64 participants with confirmed cancer and will compare scan results with tissue samples.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-SNA014 (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging method could help doctors identify which patients are most likely to benefit from Claudin18.2-targeted therapies, enabling more personalized cancer treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage imaging study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tracer's accuracy and safety are still being evaluated.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with histopathologically confirmed pancreatic cancer and gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer with claudin 18.2 expression of any level, including treatment-naive patients with upfront resectable disease, patients with post-operative recurrent disease who are or become resectable following treatment, and patients rendered resectable after neoadjuvant or conversion therapy. 2. Signed and dated informed consent form. 3. Commitment to comply with research procedures and co-operation in the implementation of the full research process. 4. Male or female participants. 5. Aged 18-75 years old. 6. Good general performance status with an expected overall survival of more than 6 months. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with prior Claudin 18.2 targeted therapy. 2. Participants with concurrent other active malignancies. 3. Participants with severe medical conditions that render them unsuitable for participation in this clinical study. Such as severe heart and lung failure, severe bone marrow suppression, severe liver and kidney dysfunction, etc. 4. Pregnant women and women who may be pregnant, women who are breastfeeding. 5.
