September 16, 2023 updated by: Weibing Miao, PhD, First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University

68Ga-FAP-RGD PET/CT : Dosimetry and Preliminary Clinical Translational Studies in Cancer Patients

As an new dual targeting PET radiotracer, 68Ga-FAP-RGD is promising as an excellent imaging agent applicable to various cancers. In this study, we observed the safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-FAP-RGD in patients with various types of cancer and compared them with the results of 68Ga-FAPI-02 or 18F-FDG imaging to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics and diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAP-RGD.

Detailed Description

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is highly expressed in the stroma of a variety of human cancers and is therefore considered promising for guiding targeted therapy. The recent development of quinoline-based PET tracers that act as FAP inhibitors (FAPIs) demonstrated promising results preclinically and already in a few clinical cases. Integrin αvβ3 is restrictedly expressed on angiogenic blood vessels and tumour cells. It plays a key role in angiogenesis for tumour growth and metastasis. RGD peptide can specifically recognise the integrin αvβ3, which serves as targeted molecular for anti-angiogenesis strategies. 68Ga-FAP-RGD is a novel dual targeting tracers. The present study aimed to evaluate the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and dosimetry of 68Ga-FAP-RGD, and performed a head-to-head comparison with 68Ga-FAPI-02 or 18F-FDG PET/CT scans in patients with various cancers.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.
