BEFAST Study, [68Ga]Ga-FAPI Total Body PET/CT for Better and Faster Imaging in Cancer (BEFAST)

1 juni 2026 uppdaterad av: Barbara Malene Fischer

[68Ga]Ga-FAPI Total Body PET/CT for Improving Diagnostic Sensitivity and Preoperative Staging in Gastroesophageal Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT can diagnose patients suffering from gastroesophageal cancer and pancreatic cancer. The investigators hope that [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT can improve staging and treatment evaluation for these patient groups.

The main questions the trial aims to answer are:

  • Is [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT better at diagnosing metastatic disease in the abdomen compared other imaging modalities?
  • Can [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT produce accurate images in less than 30 min?

Researchers will examine three different patient groups:

Group A) patients with pancreatic cancer, who are referred to surgery. Group B1) patients with gastroesophageal cancer, who are referred to diagnostic surgery (laparoscopy).

Group B2) a subgroup of gastroesophageal cancer patients, with a specific subtype cancer (signet ring cell carcinoma or poorly cohesive carcinoma), who are referred to oncological treatment.

Participants will undergo:

  • One [68Ga]Ga-FAPI Total Body PET/CT before surgery (Group A), or before laparoscopy (group B1), or before oncological treatment (Group B2).
  • Participants in group B2 will also undergo a second [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT during treatment with chemotherapy.
  • All participants will fill out one questionnaire.
  • Researchers will follow the patients after the scans for 1 year.

Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
Sensitivity of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT
Tidsram: From the time of scan to the end of follow up at 1 year

Sensitivity of lesions suspicious of malignancy of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT within 30 min of injection of the tracer compared with the sensitivity of current standard imaging modalities ([18F]FDG PET/CT, CT, MRI).

Sensitivity will be measured as the proportion of true positive malignant findings on [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT within 30 mins of injection of the tracer. This will be done, by comparing the lesions suspicious of malignancy found on [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT, and standard imaging with the results from the curative surgery and/or a composed reference standard, which consist of all available imaging, 6 months follow up and blinded expert opinion.

From the time of scan to the end of follow up at 1 year

Tidsram
Accuracy measurements of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT
Tidsram: From the time of scan to the end of follow up at 1 year

Sensitivity of lesions suspicious of malignancy of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT after 60 min of injection of the tracer, as well as accuracy, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV).

Sensitivity (the proportion of true positive findings), specificity (the proportion of true negative findings), PPV (the proportion of positive findings, which are true positives) and NPV (the proportion of negative findings which are true negatives will be measured by comparing the lesions suspicious of malignancy found on [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT and standard imaging with the results from the curative surgery and/or a composed reference standard, which is composed of all available imaging, 6 months follow up and blinded expert opinion.

Estimated potential impact/change in patient management.

Description of FAPI-uptake from lesions suspicious of malignancy.
Tidsram: From the time of scan to the end of follow up at 1 year
FAPI-uptake in lesions suspicious of malignancy will be described and quantified with standardized uptake values (SUV, e.g. SUVmax, SUVmean). SUV is a ratio of the concentration of the tracer in a region of interest on the scan and the concentration of tracer injected in the participant.
From the time of scan to the end of follow up at 1 year

Tidsram
Patients' experience of a [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 Total Body PET/CT compared to standard imaging modalities.
Tidsram: Immediately after completion of the scan (single time point)
Patients will be given a small questionnaire immediately after the [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 TB PET/CT, to fill out by his or herself (please refer to the appendix 2 in the protocol). The questionnaire is inspired by a questionnaire from a previous study exploring patient experiences during an [18F]FDG PET/CT and with inspiration from local and national questionnaires on patient experience during visits to radiology departments provided by the Capital Region of Denmark. The questionnaire includes 6 questions, 2 regarding patient information, 3 questions regarding stress and anxiety during the exmination and 1 question regarding the expectations to the scan. The different questions is rated on a descriptive scale (Very Much, Quite a lot, Some, Not at all).
Immediately after completion of the scan (single time point)
Uptake of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 from lesions suspicious of malignancy wil be correlated with progression free survival (PFS)
Tidsram: From the time of scan to the end of follow up at 1 year
FAPI-uptake (measured as Standardised uptake value [SUV], which is a ratio of the concentration of the tracer in a region of interest on the scan and the concentration of tracer injected in the patient) in lesions suspicious of malignancy will be correlated with PFS after 1 year follow-up. PFS is defined as the time from the [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 TB PET/CT to progression of cancer disease, recurrence of cancer disease, or death of any cause.
From the time of scan to the end of follow up at 1 year
