New treatment option for Sarcoma
Official title 18F-Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor ([18F]FAPI-74) PET Imaging for Cancer Detection
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06503146
What this study is testing
What is [18F]FAPI-74?
[18F]FAPI-74 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for sarcoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
