Using 18F-FAPI PET to Detect Metastatic Disease in Patients That Have Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

This is a multi-site, open-label, non-randomized, single dose study to assess the clinical utility of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT in the detection of metastatic disease in individuals with pathologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Following screening, using a standardized administration protocol and dose, participants will undergo [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT screening. SOC procedures and interventions will be captured during 3 months +/-14 days post injection. The primary objective is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of such [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT using a composite SOT panel. The maximum expected duration of the trial is approximately 24 months from first patient screening to last patient SOC follow up. The participants will be followed-up for safety for 24 to 72 hours after the dose of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male and female adults ≥ 18 years.
  • Participants with confirmed PDAC, undergoing staging evaluation for treatment planning.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2:
  • Provided signed, written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedures.
  • Participants are required to have a ceCT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis as per standard clinical practice and practice guidelines either 21 days or less prior to entry or planned within 21 days of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 administration.
  • For women who are not postmenopausal (two years of amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus): agreement to use medically accepted, highly effective methods of contraception (e.g., hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives, vasectomized partner , during the trial intervention period.

Exclusion criteria

  • Unequivocal evidence of metastases at the time of enrollment that would preclude surgery as a treatment option.
  • Known hypersensitivity to [¹⁸F]FAPI-74.
  • Administration of another investigational therapeutic or diagnostic product within 30 days prior to [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 administration.
  • Prior administration of a radiopharmaceutical within 10 half-lives of that product from the time of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 administration.
  • Previous cancer diagnosis (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix/uterus). Participants treated with curative intent and disease-free for more than 5 years are permitted.
  • Hepatic function: T. bili >1.5X ULN or alk phos, ALT, or AST >5X ULN
  • Renal function: GFR < 30 mL/min
  • Pregnant or breast feeding (a negative pregnancy test is required in women of childbearing potential)
  • Inability to undergo the PET/CT scanning procedure.
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
  • Sarcoidosis
  • Treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation or surgery for curative intent of PDAC.

Treatment and study plan

[18F]FAPI-74 PET/CT

Drug

[18F]FAPI-74 is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for use with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for the detection of Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) positive cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Primary outcomes

  1. Sensitivity and specificity for detection of distant metastatic disease (M1) using a composite SOT as reference

    Time frame: Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment after 3 month follow up

    To evaluate the diagnostic performance of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT scan in determining the presence or absence of metastatic disease (M1) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma compared with a composite standard of truth (SOT).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of adverse events using CTCAE v5.

    Time frame: 24-72 hours post-injection

    To assess the safety profile of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT.

  2. Cohen's kappa for pairwise evaluation of inter- and intra-reader agreement

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment after 3 month follow up

    To assess inter-and intra-reader variability in image interpretation of the presence of metastatic disease

  3. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by body temperature changes

    Time frame: 24-72 hours post-injection

    To assess the safety profile of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74 PET/CT.

  4. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by blood pressure changes

    Time frame: 24-72 hours post-injection

    To assess the safety profile of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74

  5. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by respiration rate

    Time frame: 24-72 hours post-injection

    To assess the safety profile of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74

  6. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by pulse rate

    Time frame: 24-72 hours post-injection

    To assess the safety profile of [¹⁸F]FAPI-74
