What this study is

This study is a pilot clinical imaging trial of a prospective, head-to-head comparison of 18F-Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor (FAPI)-74 PET/CT versus standard-of-care 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in 15 patients with metastatic invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC). Patients will undergo both 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT within a 2-week period (14 days + 7 days) to compare lesions, tumor detection rates, and PET lesion intensity, as well as to assess the clinical value of the PET scans from the treating physician's and the patient's perspective.

What's being tested

  • 18F-FAPI-74

    Intervention · DRUG

    FAPI scans will be performed as hybrid PET/CT examinations for attenuation correction and lesion localization. Each patient will be injected intravenously with 7 mCi +/- 2 mCi of 18F-FAPI-74 followed by a 20-minute (+/-10 min) uptake period.

  • 18F-FDG

    Intervention · DRUG

    FDG PET/CT will be performed per standard-of-care protocol at Mount Sinai Hospital. Patients will fast for at least 6 hours before FDG administration and plasma glucose levels will be checked to ensure < 200 mg/dL. Each patient will be injected intravenously with 15 mCi +/- 20% of 18F-FDG.

  • PET/CT

    Intervention · PROCEDURE

    FAPI PET/CT images will be acquired from the top of skull to mid-thigh. FDG PET/CT images will be acquired from the skull base to mid-thigh after a 60-min uptake period. Outside FDG PET/CT performed at another institutional can be accepted, if image quality and acquisition is comparable to standard-of-care protocol at Mount Sinai Hospital.
