About this trial

Malignant tumors are a significant health threat with high incidence and mortality rates, and molecular imaging is crucial for early diagnosis, staging, prognosis evaluation, and therapeutic efficacy assessment. 18F-FDG PET imaging is widely used, but has limitations. Integrin αvβ6 is a promising target for tumor-targeted imaging, as it is only expressed in cancerous or reconstructed epithelial cells. A new PET probe, 68Ga-Trivehexin, targeting integrin αvβ6 has been developed with better affinity and selectivity than previous probes. Clinical data supports its safety and metabolic stability, and future research will explore its diagnostic and staging value in different types of tumors, providing a new and precise evaluation method for malignant tumors.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-Integrin αvβ6 PET/CT in the staging of malignant tumors

The diagnostic performance of \[68Ga\]Ga-Trivehexin PET/CT and \[18F\]-FDG PET/CT for initial staging will be evaluated and compared using histopathological findings or typical imaging features as reference standard.

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Comparison of primary and metastatic lesions between [68Ga]Ga-Trivehexin PET/CT and [18F]FDG PET/CT

1. Comparison of tracer uptake values of primary and metastatic lesions between \[68Ga\]Ga-Trivehexin PET/CT and \[18F\]FDG PET/CT. 2. Evaluation of the correlation between \[68Ga\]Ga-Trivehexin-derived parameters and tumor integrin β6 expression.
