177Lu-CTR-FAPI treatment for advanced, metastatic pancreatic cancer
Official title: A Single-Center, Single-Arm, Open-Label Clinical Study of 177Lu-CTR-FAPI Injection in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced, Metastatic Solid Tumors
Run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine · NCT07229768 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This single-center, open-label study will try a radioligand called 177Lu-CTR-FAPI in people with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer (and other solid tumors) who have run out of standard treatment options.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with unresectable, advanced, or metastatic solid tumors—especially pancreatic cancer—who have confirmed disease and have progressed on or cannot tolerate standard treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage disease, those who still have effective standard treatment options, or tumors that do not express the FAP target may be unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label Early Phase 1 trial administering 177Lu-CTR-FAPI to patients with unresectable, advanced, or metastatic solid tumors, with emphasis on pancreatic cancer. The study will monitor safety, measure radiation dosimetry, and record anti-tumor activity using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Eligible patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed disease and have exhausted or declined standard therapies; certain breast cancer and high-grade soft tissue sarcoma subtypes are also eligible under specific prior-treatment requirements. Treatments and follow-up visits are performed at Shanghai General Hospital with imaging and clinical assessments to track response and adverse events.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the treatment could shrink or slow growth of tumors by delivering targeted radiation, offering a new option for patients who have no standard therapies left.
How similar studies have gone: Early case reports and small Phase 1/2 work with 177Lu- or other radiolabeled FAPI agents have shown promising signals of tumor control, but robust evidence is still limited.

Patients with HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have progressed after or are intolerant to at least 2 lines of HER2-targeted therapy; 3. Patients with HR/HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have progressed after or are intolerant to at least 2 lines of systemic therapy; 4. Patients with advanced or metastatic high-grade soft tissue sarcoma (excluding chordoma) who have progressed after or are intolerant to at least 1 line of systemic therapy; 5. Patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have progressed after or are intolerant to at least 1 line of systemic therapy. * 2: Age \>= 18 years, regardless of sex; * 3: Able to understand and sign informed consent and willing and able to comply with study and follow-up procedures; * 4: ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1; * 5: FAP expression in tumor lesions confirmed positive by FAPI PET/CT; * 6: Agree to provide archived or fresh tumor tissue for immunohistochemical evaluation (if available); * 7: At least 1 measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria; * 8: Previous anti-tumor toxicities recovered to grade 0-1; * 9: Organ function meets requirements before first administration; 1.
