68Ga-FAP-RGD PET/CT : Dosimetry and Preliminary Clinical Translational Studies

68Ga-FAP-RGD PET/CT : Dosimetry and Preliminary Clinical Translational Studies in Cancer Patients

As an new dual targeting PET radiotracer, 68Ga-FAP-RGD is promising as an excellent imaging agent applicable to various cancers. In this study, we observed the safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-FAP-RGD in patients with various types of cancer and compared them with the results of 68Ga-FAPI-02 or 18F-FDG imaging to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics and diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAP-RGD.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is highly expressed in the stroma of a variety of human cancers and is therefore considered promising for guiding targeted therapy. The recent development of quinoline-based PET tracers that act as FAP inhibitors (FAPIs) demonstrated promising results preclinically and already in a few clinical cases. Integrin αvβ3 is restrictedly expressed on angiogenic blood vessels and tumour cells. It plays a key role in angiogenesis for tumour growth and metastasis. RGD peptide can specifically recognise the integrin αvβ3, which serves as targeted molecular for anti-angiogenesis strategies. 68Ga-FAP-RGD is a novel dual targeting tracers. The present study aimed to evaluate the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and dosimetry of 68Ga-FAP-RGD, and performed a head-to-head comparison with 68Ga-FAPI-02 or 18F-FDG PET/CT scans in patients with various cancers.
