Filter by:The objective of the study is to construct a noninvasive approach 68Ga-THP-Trop2 VHH PET/CT to detect the Trop-2 expression of tumor lesions in patients with thyroid cancer and to identify patients benefiting from Trop-2 targeting antibody-drug conjugate treatment.
Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD) affect about 6 million people in the U.S. and are the fifth leading cause of death for adults over 65. Recent research is investigating how chronic liver diseases like Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), which affects one-third of the U.S. population, might influence ADRD through the liver-brain axis. MASLD shares risk factors with Alzheimer's, such as diabetes and hypertension, and studies have linked MASLD to increased risks of cognitive decline and ADRD. Mouse-model studies suggest that chronic liver inflammation in MASLD can induce neuroinflammation and accelerate Alzheimer's pathology, highlighting the importance of studying the liver-brain connection to identify new therapeutic targets for ADRD. The goal of this research is to develop a practical PET imaging method using 18F-FDG to simultaneously assess liver and brain inflammation in patients with MASLD-related ADRD. This approach leverages dynamic FDG-PET scanning and advanced tracer kinetic modeling to quantify glucose transport, overcoming limitations of traditional imaging methods that cannot noninvasively assess chronic liver inflammation. The new method aims to enable comprehensive imaging of liver-brain inflammation crosstalk, validated against the 18F-DPA-714 radiotracer. Success in this project could provide a valuable imaging tool for linking liver inflammation with neuroinflammation and cognitive decline, advancing clinical research and potentially uncovering new pathways for ADRD treatment
Stimulator of interferon gene (STING) protein plays a vital role in the immune surveillance of tumor microenvironment. Monitoring STING expression in tumors benefits the relevant STING therapy. This study will investigate the safety, biodistribution and potential usefulness of a novel 68Ga-labeled agonist ([68Ga]Ga-Sa-DABI-4) for noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of STING expression in the tumor microenvironment.
As a new dual receptor (PSMA and FAP) targeting PET radiotracer, 68Ga-PSFA is promising as an excellent imaging agent applicable to PSMA/FAP positive diseases. In this research, we investigate the safety, biodistribution and potential usefulness of 68Ga-PSFA positron emission tomography (PET) for the diagnosis of lesions in PSMA/FAP positive diseases.

This clinical trial aims to investigate the value of fibroblast activation protein PET/CT(PET/MR) in the diagnosis, staging, and evaluation of treatment outcomes in malignant tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: Fibroblast Activation Protein PET/CT(PET/MR) whether or in which cases this assay is superior to conventional FDG examination in the diagnosis, staging, and assessment of therapeutic efficacy of malignant tumors, thinking about the reasons behind this. Investigators will screen suitable participants among patients undergoing routine FDG examination. - Participants will sign an informed consent form - Undergo 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT (PET/MR) before surgery or biopsy - Surgical resection or puncture biopsy to obtain pathologic results. Diagnosis of patients with malignant tumors at first diagnosis; clinical staging of tumors; and clinical outcomes of patients with confirmed diagnoses will be assessed after postoperative investigator follow-up. The researchers will compare the FDG exams the participants have had to determine the effectiveness of the fibroblast activating protein test.
In this study, we will investigate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of [18F]F-H3RESCA-3A12 and [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-3A12 in metastatic gastric and pancreatic cancers, and evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the use of [18F]F-H3RESCA-3A12 and [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-3A12 for diagnosing metastatic gastric and pancreatic cancers . This study will provide a new method for the noninvasive target-specific diagnosis of gastric and pancreatic cancer, and provide intuitive and clear imaging basis for clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment.
In this study, we will first investigate the imaging safety and feasibility of [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-WWH347 and [18F]F-H3RESCA-WWH347 PET/CT in patients with primary and/or metastatic colorectal cancers. The second goal of the study is to preliminarily investigate the diagnostic efficacy (e.g., sensitivity and specificity) of [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-WWH347 and [18F]F-H3RESCA-WWH347 PET/CT in patients with primary and/or metastatic colorectal cancers. This study will provide a new method for the noninvasive target-specific diagnosis of colorectal cancer, and provide an intuitive and clear imaging basis for clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment.
This study will investigate the safety and preliminary diagnostic efficacy of [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-T4 or [18F]AlF-RESCA-T4 in pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancers and other types of solid tumors. Then, this study will provide a new method for the noninvasive target-specific diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancers and other types of solid tumors. PET imaging of TROP-2 will be integrated to TROP-2-targeted therapies in some of the included patients. Therefore, PET imaging with [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-T4 or [18F]AlF-RESCA-T4 will help select patients for targeted therapy and monitor treatment responses after the treatment.
The objective of the study is to construct a noninvasive approach 68Ga-THP-Trop2 VHH PET/CT to detect the Trop-2 expression of tumor lesions in patients with Solid tumors and to identify patients benefiting from Trop-2 targeting antibody-drug conjugate treatment.
