Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the capability of 68Ga-labeled targeted covalent radiopharmaceutical (TCR) fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT to guide the surgical treatment of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). The surgical extent of MTC is determined based on the lesion range revealed by 68Ga-TCR-FAPI PET/CT, with the main endpoint being 1-month post-surgical calcitonin level.


Clinical Trial Description

Surgery remains the only curative option for MTC, yet the current imaging-based method (ultrasound, CT, MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT) or calcitonin-based method are insufficient to map the extent of disease. In the previous studies, TCR-FAPI can covalently bind to FAP that increase tumor uptake and tumor retention, and better diagnosed MTC than the current radiotracers. This is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the capability of 68Ga-labeled targeted covalent radiopharmaceutical (TCR) fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT to guide the surgical treatment of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). The surgical extent of MTC is determined based on the lesion range revealed by 68Ga-TCR-FAPI PET/CT, and the principles of surgery remains the same with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (i.e., lymph node dissection of level II-IV is required if lateral neck lymph node is considered metastasis). The primary endpoint of the study is 1-month post-surgical calcitonin level, and the secondary endpoints include the 2-year event free survival (EFS), the ratio of patient that change surgical plan, and the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity of 68Ga-TCR-FAPI PET/CT in identifying MTC lesions. Patient will be divided into three arms: 1) newly diagnosed MTC and all 68Ga-TCR-FAPI PET/CT avid lesions are resected; 2) recurrent/persistent MTC and all 68Ga-TCR-FAPI PET/CT avid lesions are resected; 3) distant metastasis or unresectable lesions shown by 68Ga-TCR-FAPI PET/CT imaging but still recommended for surgical treatment. The three arms will not be compared between each other but will be separately analyzed. ;
