Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Diagnosis, Efficacy

The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of PET / CT with 68Ga-FAPI in detecting the presence of disease in patients for whom, upon completion of the clinical and instrumental diagnostic procedures required by their normal care path, the diagnostic doubt remains: examination PET / CT with 18F-FDG resulted doubtful for the presence of oncological disease or inconclusive in satisfying this diagnostic question.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. A second objective is to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of PET / CT with 68Ga-FAPI compared to PET / CT with 18F-FDG (standard tracer currently used in various cancer settings).

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 1

  1. • Age =18 years old • Both sexes • Patients with suspected or newly diagnosed or previously treated neoplasm (prior therapies of at least 3 months), in the presence of inconclusive FDG findings such as: - Suspect primary or secondary (lymph-nodes or distant metastases) lesions with absent/faint FDG uptake (SUVmax

Exclusion criteria 1

  1. • Pregnant women. The state of pregnancy in women of childbearing potential will be ascertained by measuring serum ß-hCG. • Breastfeeding women • Patients in emergency situations or unable to understand and want • History of allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to the active substance, to any of the excipients, or to any of the components of the radiolabelled radiopharmaceutical • Contraindication to PET / CT examination for patients unable to perform PET due to weight, claustrophobia or the inability to remain still for the duration of the examination • Participation in a clinical trial in which an investigational drug was administered within 30 days or 5 half-lives before the study drug • Patients with impaired renal function; • Patients with impaired liver function.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Accuracy of PET / CT with 68Ga-FAPI in detecting the presence of disease in patients for whom, upon completion of the clinical and instrumental diagnostic procedures required by their normal care pathway, the diagnostic doubt remains: PET / CT examination with 18F-FDG result doubt for the presence of oncological disease or inconclusive in satisfying this diagnostic question.The accuracy of PET / CT with 68Ga-FAPI will be calculated with the following statistical formula: (TRUE POSITIVE+TRUE NE

Secondary endpoints 1

  1. Evaluation of the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of PET / CT with 68Ga-FAPI and PET / CT with 18F-FDG in detecting the presence of disease in patients for whom, upon completion of the clinical and instrumental diagnostic procedures required by their normal course care, the diagnostic doubt remains: PET / CT examination with 18F-FDG resulted in doubt due to the presence of oncological disease or inconclusive in satisfying this diagnostic question.
