Target-specific immunoPET Imaging of Digestive System Carcinoma

December 25, 2025 updated by: RenJi Hospital

Development and Clinical Translation of immunoPET Imaging Probes for Digestive System Carcinoma

The aim of this study is to establish and optimize the target-specific PET/CT imaging method, and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, on the basis of which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agents in digestive system malignant tumors will be evaluated.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Enrolled patients will undergo whole-body PET/CT scans at 1 hours after tracer injection(0.05-0.1 mCi/kg). Uptake of above imaging agents in tumor and normal organs/tissues will be scored visually and quantitatively.

Tumor uptake will be quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy will be calculated to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. The correlation between lesion uptake and protein expression level determined by immunohistochemistry staining will be further analyzed. The exploration endpoint will be the imaging feasibility and preliminary diagnostic value of the above tracers.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Predictive value of these tracers in the course of combined immunotherapies and targeted therapies
Time Frame: 3-6 months
Baseline and follow-up immunoPET imaging in combined immunotherapies and targeted therapies (four to eight cycles) will be investigated in this setting to determine the value of the immunoPET imaging in predicting or evaluating treatment responses.

Target-specific PET/CT in changing clinical decision-making for patients with digestive system malignancy
Time Frame: 3-6 months
After analyzing the imaging parameters and diagnostic/predictive value of these target-specific tracers, we will also investigate how clinical use of these tracers changes clinical decision-making for patients with malignant tumors of the digestive system. Joint efforts from nuclear medicine physicians, surgeons, oncologists, and pathologists will draw solid conclusions from the imaging and clinical information.
