Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

The aim of this study is to establish and optimize the target-specific PET/CT imaging method, and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, on the basis of which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agents in digestive system malignant tumors will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Enrolled patients will undergo whole-body PET/CT scans at 1 hours after tracer injection(0.05-0.1 mCi/kg). Uptake of above imaging agents in tumor and normal organs/tissues will be scored visually and quantitatively.

Tumor uptake will be quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy will be calculated to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. The correlation between lesion uptake and protein expression level determined by immunohistochemistry staining will be further analyzed. The exploration endpoint will be the imaging feasibility and preliminary diagnostic value of the above tracers.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Biodistribution

    Measurement of the overall biodistribution of above tracers in normal tissues and organs.

    Time frame: 1 day from injection of the tracers

  2. Standardized uptake value (SUV)

    Standardized uptake value (SUV) of above tracers in the included subjects' primary and/or metastatic lesions.

    Time frame: 1 day from injection of the tracers

  3. Radiation dosimetry

    Measurement of absorbed radiation doses (Gy/MBq) to tissues/organs, tumor(s), and whole body (Sv/MBq). Dynamic imaging within one hour will be acquired for the purpose.

    Time frame: 1 day from injection of the tracers

  4. Diagnostic value in patients with digestive system malignancy

    Systematic evaluation of these parameters will elucidate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and, more importantly, the clinical value of these target-specific tracers in patients with malignancies of the digestive system.

    Time frame: 30 days

  5. The correlation between the expression of specific target and tracer uptake value

    The Standardized uptake value (SUV) will be calculated, and the correlation between pathological results and tumor uptake of these tracers will be analyzed.

    Time frame: 60 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Predictive value of these tracers in the course of combined immunotherapies and targeted therapies

    Baseline and follow-up immunoPET imaging in combined immunotherapies and targeted therapies (four to eight cycles) will be investigated in this setting to determine the value of the immunoPET imaging in predicting or evaluating treatment responses.

    Time frame: 3-6 months

  2. Target-specific PET/CT in changing clinical decision-making for patients with digestive system malignancy

    After analyzing the imaging parameters and diagnostic/predictive value of these target-specific tracers, we will also investigate how clinical use of these tracers changes clinical decision-making for patients with malignant tumors of the digestive system. Joint efforts from nuclear medicine physicians, surgeons, oncologists, and pathologists will draw solid conclusions from the imaging and clinical information.

    Time frame: 3-6 months
