New treatment option for Esophageal Cancer
Official title Using 18F-FAPI PET to Detect Metastatic Disease in Patients That Have Gastric or Esophageal Cancer.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07217704
What this study is testing
What is [18F]FAPI-74 PET/CT?
[18F]FAPI-74 PET/CT is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for esophageal cancer.
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
- This is a multi-site, open-label, non-randomized, single dose study to assess the clinical utility of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT in the detection of metastatic disease in individuals with pathologically confirmed gastric, gastroesophageal junction or esophageal cancer. Following screening, using a standardized administration protocol and dose, participants will undergo [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT screening.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Time commitment: about 3 months
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
