Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy, therapeutic assessment, prognostic analysis, and impact on clinical treatment decisions of 18F-FAPI PET/CT in patients with cancer of unknown primary.

Read the detailed description

Primary endpoint: Diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FAPI PET/CT in patients with undetermined primary tumor (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy).

secondary end points:

  • The diagnostic performance of 18F-FAPI PET/CT compared with CT, MR and 18F-FDG PET in the clinical application of cancer with unknown primary site was compared.

    ④Assess the heterogeneity of sensitivity and specificity of 18F-FAPI PET/CT for different system sites (neck/thorax/abdomen).

  • Study on efficacy evaluation and prognostic prediction of 18F-FAPI PET/CT in patients with primary tumors of unknown origin.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients with clinical or imaging suspicion of cancer of unknown primary origin.
  2. Patients with 18F FAPI PET scans.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Concurrent presence of other active malignant tumors or a history of other malignant tumors within the past 5 years;
  2. Severe uncontrollable diseases or active infections;
  3. Ineligible participants for project .
  4. Pregnant and lactating women.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

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. Diagnostic efficacy

    Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of 18F-FAPI PET/CT Imaging in cancers of unknown primary site

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1.5 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Standard uptake value (SUV)of tumor

    This measure evaluates the association between baseline 18F-FAPI PET parameters (e.g., SUVmax, SUVmean).

    Time frame: through study completion, 3-4 years

  2. Metabolic tumor volume (c) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) of tumor

    This measure evaluates the association between baseline 18F-FAPI PET parameters (MTV in cm3, TLG in cm3\*SUV)

    Time frame: through study completion, 3-4 years

  3. Prognostic Value of Baseline 18F-FAPI PET for Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in High-Risk Patients

    Prognostic Value of Baseline 18F-FAPI PET for Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in High-Risk Patients

    Time frame: through study completion, 3-4 years
