Brief summary

As a new dual receptor (SSTR2 and FAP) targeting PET radiotracer, 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 is promising as an excellent imaging agent applicable to SSTR2 positive diseases. In this research, we investigate the safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 in healthy volunteers. Moreover, we evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of lesions in SSTR2 positive diseases, and compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Detailed description

As a new dual receptor (SSTR2 and FAP) targeting PET radiotracer, 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 is promising as an excellent imaging agent applicable to SSTR2 positive diseases In this research, we investigate the safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 in healthy volunteers. Moreover, subjects with SSTR2 positive diseases underwent contemporaneous 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 and 18F-FDG PET/CT for diseases assessment. Lesions uptakes were quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax). The numbers of positive lesions of 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 PET/CT were recorded by visual interpretation. The diagnostic accuracy of 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 were calculated and compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST18F-FDG PET/CT, 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 PET/CT

Each subject receives a single intravenous injection of 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAP-LM3, and undergo PET/CT imaging within the specified time. A part of participants will undergo additional 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for comparison.

Intervention model description

Subjects with malignant diseases (either FAP or SSTR2 positive expression) undergo contemporaneous 68Ga-FAPI-LM3 and 18F-FDG PET/CT for diseases assessment. A part of participants will also undergo additional 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for comparison.
