Using 18F-FAPI PET to Detect Metastatic Disease in Patients That Have Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
(FAPI-PRO)
What this study is about
This is a multi-site, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, non-randomly assigned, 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 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
View original scientific description
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 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Following screening, using a standardized administration protocol and dose, participants will undergo \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT screening. SOC procedures and interventions will be captured during 3 months +/-14 days post injection. The primary objective is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of such \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT using a composite SOT panel. The maximum expected duration of the trial is approximately 24 months from first patient screening to last patient SOC follow up. The participants will be followed-up for safety for 24 to 72 hours after the dose of \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 PET/CT.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Male and female adults ≥ 18 years.
- Participants with confirmed PDAC, undergoing staging evaluation for treatment planning.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2:
- Provided signed, written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedures.
- Participants are required to have a ceCT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis as per standard clinical practice and practice guidelines either 21 days or less prior to entry or planned within 21 days of \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 administration.
- For women who are not postmenopausal (two years of amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus): agreement to use medically accepted, highly effective methods of contraception (e.g., hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives, vasectomized partner , during the trial intervention period.
Exclusion criteria
- Unequivocal evidence of metastases at the time of enrollment that would preclude surgery as a treatment option.
- Known hypersensitivity to \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74.
- Administration of another investigational therapeutic or diagnostic product within 30 days prior to \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 administration.
- Prior administration of a radiopharmaceutical within 10 half-lives of that product from the time of \[¹⁸F\]FAPI-74 administration.
- Previous cancer diagnosis (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix/uterus). Participants treated with curative intent and disease-free for more than 5 years are permitted.
- Hepatic function: T. bili \>1.5X ULN or alk phos, ALT, or AST \>5X ULN
- Renal function: GFR \< 30 mL/min
- Pregnant or breast feeding (a negative pregnancy test is required in women of childbearing potential)
- Inability to undergo the PET/CT scanning procedure.
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
- Sarcoidosis
- Treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation or surgery for curative intent of PDAC.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
