Molecular Imaging of Fibroblast Activation Protein Expression Using Labeled Technetium-99m HYNIC-FAPI

The study should evaluate the biological distribution of 99mTc-HYNIC-FAPI in metastatic cancer patients.

Active, Not Recruiting

This study is active but is not currently recruiting participants.

Key information

About this study

The primary objective are:

  • To assess the distribution of [99mTc]Tc- HYNIC-FAPI in normal tissues and tumors at different time intervals.
  • To evaluate dosimetry of [99mTc]Tc- HYNIC-FAPI.
  • To study the safety and tolerability of the drug [99mTc]Tc- HYNIC-FAPI after a single injection in a diagnostic dosage.

The secondary objective are:

  • To compare the obtained [99mTc]Tc- HYNIC-FAPI SPECT imaging results with the data of CT and/or MRI and/or ultrasound examination and immunohistochemical (IHC) studies in metastatic cancer patients.

Treatment and study plan

[99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI

Drug

One single intravenous injection of [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI, followed by gamma camera imaging after 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours.

Other names: Intravenous injection of [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI

Primary outcomes

  1. Gamma camera-based whole-body [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI uptake value (%).

    Time frame: 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours after injection.

    Whole-body [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI uptake coinciding with normal organs and tissues will be assessed using gamma camera and calculated as percentage (%) of the injected dose of the radiopharmaceutical.

  2. SPECT/CT-based [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI value in tumor lesions (counts and SUV)

    Time frame: 2, 4 and 6 hours after injection.

    99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI uptake coinciding with tumor lesions will be assessed using single-photon emission computed tomography and measured in counts and SUV.

  3. SPECT/CT -based [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI background uptake value (counts and SUV).

    Time frame: 2, 4 and 6 hours after injection.

    Focal uptake of [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI in the regions without pathological findings will be assessed with SPECT/CT and measured in counts and SUV.

  4. Tumor-to-background ratio (SPECT/CT).

    Time frame: 2, 4 and 6 hours after injection.

    The SPECT/CT-based tumor-to-background ratio will be calculated as follows: the value of [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI uptake coinciding with tumor lesions (counts) will be divided by the value of [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI uptake coinciding with the regions without pathological findings (counts).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections (Number of Participants with abnormal findings).

    Time frame: 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours after injection.

    The safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections will be evaluated based on the assessments of physical examination, vital signs, and ECG (Number of Participants with abnormal findings relative to baseline).

  2. Safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections (Number of Participants with abnormal laboratory findings).

    Time frame: 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours after injection.

    The safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections will be evaluated based on the blood and urine laboratory tests (Number of Participants with abnormal laboratory findings relative to baseline).

  3. Safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections (Number of Participants with incidence of adverse events).

    Time frame: 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours after injection.

    The safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections will be evaluated based on the rate of adverse events (Number of Participants).

  4. Safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections (Number of Participants with administration of concomitant medication).

    Time frame: 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours after injection.

    The safety attributable to [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-FAPI injections will be evaluated based on the rate of administration of concomitant medication (Number of Participants).
