Experimental: 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT
Patients receive [68Ga]FAPI-46 intravenously followed by PET/CT 15-25 minutes later
|
Drug: [68Ga]FAPI-46
[68Ga]-FAPI-46 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 (PDAC). |
- Performance [sensitivity, specificity, accuracy] of [68Ga]FAPI-46 PET imaging to detect FAP-expressing cells, using histopathology as truth standard. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, 2 years ]
- Positive and negative predictive values, as well as accuracy of [68Ga]FAPI-46 PET images, to detect FAP-expressing cells using histopathology as truth standard. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, 2 years ]
- Histopathology with FAP staining on FAP IHC assay. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, 2 years ]
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post injection with [68Ga]FAPI-46 ]
- [68Ga]FAPI-46 accumulation observed in local and metastatic disease compared to radiological (i.e. CT, MR) and/or 18F-FDG PET. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, 2 years ]
- [68Ga]FAPI-46 accumulation observed by (PET)/ (CT) pre and post in patients undergoing Neoadjuvant treatment. [ Time Frame: Through study completion for patient undergoing Neoadjuvant treatment, 2 years ]
