Study on [68Ga]FAPI-46 PET Scans for Patients with Pancreatic Ductal Cancer
Sponsor: SOFIE
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05262855
This clinical trial is testing a new imaging method using [68Ga]FAPI-46 PET scans to detect specific cells in patients with pancreatic ductal cancer that can be surgically removed or is borderline removable. The study involves two scans, one before and one after any pre-surgery treatments, to compare with the actual tumor after surgery.

Program Overview
The study aims to evaluate how well [68Ga]FAPI-46 PET scans can identify certain cells in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that can be surgically removed or are borderline removable. Participants will undergo a PET scan after their initial cancer staging. If they receive treatments like chemotherapy or radiation before surgery, a second PET scan will be done within 21 days before the planned surgery. The results of these scans will be compared with the tumor tissue removed during surgery to see how accurately the scans detect cancer cells.
