Summary
This phase II trial tests whether 68Ga-FAPI-46 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan works to image cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in patients with localized (has not spread to other parts of the body) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). CAFs are a type of connective tissue cell that are found within or near cancerous tissue. Many CAFs express a protein called fibroblast activation protein (FAP) that are not found on healthy cells. 68Ga-FAPI-46 is a radioactive chemical compound designed to circulate through the body and attach itself to FAP on PDA cells. A PET/CT scan is then used to detect the location of FAP lesions. PET scans help to measure the information about functions of tissues and organs within the body. CT scans use X-rays to create images of the bones and internal organs within the body. Giving 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT may help doctors improve upon the diagnosis and management of PDA.Phase:
