GEH300079 PET/CT for Colorectal Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new imaging method, GEH300079 (68Ga) Injection PET/CT, to evaluate its effectiveness in detecting peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), a cancer complication, in patients with primary cancers such as colorectal, gastric, ovarian, and pancreatic. The goal is to determine if this imaging technique surpasses standard methods in identifying PC. The trial consists of two phases: Phase 2 will determine the optimal dose and timing for the imaging, while Phase 3 will assess its safety and effectiveness in detecting PC in specific cancers. The trial seeks participants diagnosed with colorectal, gastric, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer who may have PC based on previous tests or symptoms. Participants should have surgery planned for their condition. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on evaluating the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have an active infection requiring systemic treatment, you may not be eligible to participate.
What prior data suggests that this PET/CT technique is safe for detecting peritoneal carcinomatosis?
Research has shown that GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT is generally safe for people. In earlier studies with similar agents like 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, no serious side effects requiring treatment were reported, indicating it is well-tolerated.
Another study on a similar agent, 68Ga-FAPI, confirmed its safety for detecting cancer. This treatment is in an advanced testing stage, which usually means its safety is well understood. Overall, existing evidence supports the safety of GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT for cancer imaging.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT treatment for colorectal cancer because it offers a novel imaging approach that could enhance cancer detection and monitoring. Unlike traditional imaging methods, this treatment utilizes a radioactive tracer, GEH300079 (68Ga), which targets specific cancer cells, potentially allowing for more precise visualization of tumors. This method could lead to more accurate assessments of tumor spread and response to treatment, improving patient management and outcomes. Additionally, the ability to conduct multiple scans over a short period provides dynamic insights into tumor behavior, which is not typically possible with standard imaging techniques.
What evidence suggests that GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT is effective for detecting peritoneal carcinomatosis in colorectal cancer?
Research has shown that GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT scans effectively detect certain cancers. Studies have demonstrated that this imaging technique can identify recurrent colorectal cancer even when other scans fail. One study found the GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT scan to be 100% accurate in identifying cancer that had spread to the abdominal lining in patients with colorectal cancer, correctly detecting all such cases. In this trial, participants will receive a single IV bolus of GEH300079 (68Ga) to explore its potential to detect cancers more effectively than traditional methods.678910
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for patients with primary colorectal, gastric, ovarian, or pancreatic cancers who are known or suspected to have Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC). They should be scheduled for Standard of Care imaging. Details on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria are not provided.Inclusion Criteria

Phase 2
Phase 2 aims to confirm the statistical and scientific assumptions for the Phase 3 part, and to confirm the optimal dose and timing of acquisition of GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT in the PC indication.
Phase 3
Phase 3 aims to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT for the detection of PC in patients with confirmed colorectal, gastric or ovarian primary cancers.
