NCT06769828

Brief Summary

This single-center, phase II clinical trial investigates the diagnostic efficacy of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET scans in detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence during post-treatment surveillance, particularly in patients with elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The study compares the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET with the conventional F-18-FDG PET scans, aiming to enhance recurrence detection in CRC patients who underwent curative surgery. Thirty participants will be enrolled and monitored through imaging studies and clinical follow-up.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Sensitivity, Specificity, and Accuracy of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET for CRC Recurrence Detection

    Evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET in detecting colorectal cancer recurrence. Pathological results will be used as the reference standard where available, or clinical follow-up will be used in cases where tissue sampling is not feasible.

    Within 6 months of PET imaging.

  • Comparison of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET and FDG PET in CRC Recurrence Detection

    Compare the diagnostic performance of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET and F-18-FDG PET in detecting colorectal cancer recurrence, including sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.

    Within 6 months of PET imaging.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical Impact of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET on Management Decisions

    Immediately after completion of PET imaging and report review.

Study Arms (1)

Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET scan in colorectal cancer

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will undergo a Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET scan within 2-14 days after their F-18-FDG PET scan. Ga-68-FAPI-46 will be administered via intravenous injection at a dose of 1.8-2.2 MBq per kilogram of body weight, with a maximum dose of 200 MBq. The scan will be performed 30-90 minutes after injection. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Ga-68-FAPI-46 PET in detecting colorectal cancer recurrence in patients with elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), compared to F-18-FDG PET.

Drug: Ga-68-FAPI-46

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 100 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 20 years old
  • The surgical intervention for colorectal cancer aims for curative resection, with the goal of achieving a disease-free status that persists for six months or more, as assessed clinically and through imaging studies.
  • Elevated serum CEA levels:
  • Exceeding the laboratory's normal range (5 ng/ml) or, but not surpassing 13 ng/ml; using the individual's post-surgery +/- adjuvant chemotherapy or targeted therapy minimum value as a baseline, a consecutive increase of more than 10% for two times or as determined by the attending physician suggests suspicion of recurrence.
  • Already performed or scheduled for FDG PET scanning examination. (5) Able to lie flat for at least 30 minutes.
  • Signing the subject consent form.
  • ECOG grade 0-2.
  • The timing of F-18-FDG usage in this trial follows the " 2023 - Colorectal Cancer Treatment Principles" of our institution.

You may not qualify if:

  • pregnant woman and breastfeeding women
  • severe renal impairment (eGRF\< 30ml/min)
  • Known or suspected allergy to radiopharmaceuticals
  • Simultaneously or previously diagnosed with malignant tumors other than colorectal cancer.
  • Inability to undergo the necessary PET scan procedure
  • Refusal or unwillingness to sign the informed consent form
  • Severe medical conditions (severe disabilities, mental disorders)
