New Dual-Targeted PET scan aims to spot cancers more clearly
NCT ID NCT07639801
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new radioactive tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-PSMA for PET/CT scans to see if it can find and stage solid tumors (like prostate, liver, and ovarian cancers) better than current tracers. About 20 adults with suspected or confirmed tumors will receive the tracer and have imaging done. The goal is to see if the dual-targeted approach improves detection accuracy.
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-PSMA (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate way to detect and stage solid tumors, potentially improving treatment planning.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new tracer may not be better than existing methods.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-75 years * Patients with suspected or confirmed solid tumors (e.g., prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer) * Patients scheduled to undergo tumor biopsy or surgical treatment within 2 months * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 * Expected survival of at least 12 weeks * Adequate hematologic and organ function: * White blood cell count ≥ 4.0 × 10\^9/L or neutrophils ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L * Platelet count ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L * Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) * ALT/AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN (or ≤ 5 × ULN in patients with liver metastases) * Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN * At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria * Ability to understand the study procedures and willingness to sign written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Severe hepatic or renal dysfunction * Inability to remain in a supine position for approximately 30 minutes during PET/CT scanning * Refusal or inability to participate in the clinical study * Claustrophobia or severe psychiatric disorders that would interfere with imaging procedures * Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the participant unsuitable for the study
